Welcome!
I'm Jennifer Queen, owner and operator of Essential Kneads, and I can honestly say—this is my favorite job ever. I’m endlessly fascinated by the musculoskeletal system, the mind-body connection, and the interplay between pain, stress, form, and function. Supporting your comfort and helping you reach your personal wellness goals—whether that’s pain relief, stress reduction, or both—is at the heart of what I do.

What can you expect from a session?
I blend clinical bodywork with spa-like indulgence to create a unique, healing experience. You might enjoy warm touches like hot stones, steamed towels, neck wraps, and essential oils, alongside deeper therapeutic techniques. My toolbox includes:

Craniosacral work
ACE® active cupping
Tok Sen (Thai hammer technique)
Tuning forks and singing bowls
Myotherapy principles
Deep tissue and trigger point therapy

In 2022, I became a certified Esalen® practitioner, and I’m currently continuing my training to become a Certified Craniosacral Therapist. If you’re curious about any of the tools or techniques I use, just ask—it might become your new favorite.

“Endurance: It is the spirit which can bear things, not simply with resignation, but with blazing hope. It is the quality which keeps a man on his feet with his face to the wind. It is the virtue which can transmute the hardest trial into glory because beyond the pain it sees the goal.” -Anonymous Author
