Unveiling such techniques changed her own body and life that once started with years of pain, for all the better. She feels incredibly blessed, to have found her life calling.

Jena is a Wake Forest resident who has been practicing the art of massage for nearly 10 years. A background in spa experience led her to discover the therapy of massage. Unveiling such techniques changed her own body and life that once started with years of pain, for all the better. She feels incredibly blessed, to have found her life calling.

Increasing self-awareness for each person she comes in contact with is what sets her apart from the rest. She believes that educating those she works on, can not only change their day but also their life, to make a bigger difference. Futhermore, nothing quite compares to helping people naturally. Body, mind and spirit. Upon starting each session, she ensures she is going to address the specific needs of the individual at hand, while keeping open communication to ensure the highest comfortability of the client. 

As a Medical Arts School graduate, she approaches each session from an anatomical perspective. Her vast range of modalities include: swedish, deep tissue, FasciAshi (barefoot massage/ashiatsu), prenatal, reflexology, neuromuscular, sports, cupping, gua sha, trigger point, medical, chair and TMJD massage. 

After spending a month in Bali, in the winter of 2023, she completed her 200 YTT education with The House of Om to become a yoga teacher. There she practiced daily various forms of yoga and learned the history and philosophies supporting the practice. Graduating in January of 2024, she started teaching at a small local studio and became a RYT 200 with the Yoga Alliance in June of 2024. Later in 2025, she decided that private instruction lessons were at her hearts true calling and is so thrilled to now be changing lives this way.

Growth as a therapist and individual is something she strives for daily.

I would highly recommend Jena! She is fantastic and truly seeks to understand your needs and what she can do to help. She is attentive to the pressure she implements and wants to make sure you get your full time on the table for treatment. 12 out of 10 recommend!

Jenna is an amazing therapist. She literally walks all over my back (Ashiatsu). Her intuition is spot on. I would not think more and I would just book an appointment with Jenna

I have been going to Jena at least 10 years or more. She is kind, very respectful, and a wonderful massage therapist. Listens to what you want but knows what you need too.I always leave feeling much better.
by Eileen A. on Jan 24
Jenna is truly exceptional at what she does. From the moment the session begins, you can feel how deeply skilled and intuitive she is with both massage and bodywork. She doesn’t just go through the motions—she really listens to your body and works with intention, precision, and care. Her touch is both grounding and incredibly effective. Every technique feels purposeful, whether she’s releasing deep tension or creating a sense of full-body relaxation. I left feeling lighter, aligned, and genuinely renewed—not just relaxed for an hour, but noticeably better in my body days later. If you’re looking for someone who combines technical expertise with a calming, professional presence, Jenna is the one. This is bodywork at a high level, and I can’t recommend her enough.
