Balanced Approach, LLC was established in 2005, after graduating from Irene's Myomassology Institute in Southfield, Michigan. Jen worked in the massage therapy business for about 3 years as an independent contractor and making house calls. In 2008 she gave it all up and joined the U.S. Army.  The Army led her to many new adventures, states and countries, it also fueled her desire to help others with their physical fitness. In 2014 Jen became a Certified Personal Trainer and in 2018 became a Certified Group Fitness Instructor. In 2021, Jen realized there was still something missing and felt the call back into the massage world. After a couple of months of intense studying, she passed the Massage and Bodywork Licensing Examination and became a Licensed Massage Therapist in the state of Michigan. 

Jen currently works as an instructor for Boot Camp Challenge, teaches group fitness at the Oceola Community Center in Howell and works out of Kimberly Lauren's Body & Health Studios in Brighton providing massage therapy.
