What People are Saying
MELT Method
Jenny is a great instructor
“My husband and I recently completed a 5-week MELT session with Jenny. We both experienced significant improvements to chronic physical conditions after every session. Over the years, I have done various styles of exercise. While all of them yield good results if done consistently and properly, I have never experienced the immediate and significant results of MELT. I have chronic tension in my upper back which was eliminated in one session by doing a specific MELT map. My husband had shoulder injuries throughout his youth. Compensating for these injuries has created an imbalance in the alignment of his shoulders. After only one MELT session, he felt significant realignment in his shoulders. Practicing these exercises on an ongoing basis is necessary to continue benefits, however, the exercises are easy, quick and yield immediate results. And, Jenny is a great instructor. She is thorough, patient, and a lot of fun. You can’t get much better than that!”

So glad I discovered MELT through Jenny
“I had experienced severe pain in my right pointer finger for several days that came on suddenly. I figured it was suffering from over-use. I had recently purchased some MELT products from Jenny so I got the MELT ball out and did the sequences on my hands for three nights. Tonight, I went to get my book and the ball and suddenly realized that my finger hadn’t hurt all day! I did the grip assess and I could finally squeeze the ball! The finger rinse and friction weren’t uncomfortable tonight as they had been in the past! WOW! This stuff really DOES work! I’m so glad I discovered MELT through Jenny.”

Jenny understands older bodies
“Jenny is a master teacher with an understanding of our older bodies. Her 5-week MELT workshop allowed me to learn many of the MELT soft foam roller techniques. I’ve had several issues with my back and neck over the last two years. Jenny made MELT easy to learn and it provides me with immediate results. Practicing MELT has given me new found freedom from pain. She taught me how to nurture and take care of myself.”
~ Irene W.
MELT and Jenny are highly recommended
“I participate in a lot of exercise classes and considered myself to be in great shape, however, I was experiencing neck and low back pain. My feet and hands would bother me occasionally as well. I decided to try the MELT classes that Jenny offered through my community. I was a patient and diligent student and I experienced amazing results. Specifically, I have improved the position of my neck, gained range of motion, and reduced pain. My posture has improved, and my pelvis stays in a more neutral position. I no longer require orthotic in my shoes and can walk barefooted without feeling pressure points. My arthritic thumb pain has lessened, and my grip strength has improved. Both MELT and Jenny are highly recommended.”
~Gordon A.
Highly recommend Jenny’s classes
“I had the fortuitous opportunity to attend one of Jenny’s MELT classes. I had no idea what to expect but was open to exploring anything that might alleviate my sore and tight muscles. What a surprise was in store for me! The gentle movement on the MELT roller worked magic on my neck and shoulders. Lingering hip and knee pain began to resolve with repeated us. Jenny’s quiet and gentle encouragement, along with her crisp and clear instructions, made learning how to use this self-care tool easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend Jenny’s classes as a way to help your body’s soft tissue unknot, move with greater ease and generally remain more active.”
~Linda R.
Jenny’s teaching style is clear
“The foot treatment has a very positive effect on my hip and back pain, and the hand treatment energies my hands. Jenny’s teaching style is clear and helps you to get the right results”
~Jaye M.
After MELT I’m highly energized!
“After doing MELT I feel my hands, feet and face are energized and tingly. My circulation appears better and reacts positively to the melt moves like friction and compression. Definitely a good practice to incorporate into my day!!”
~Betsy C.
I have seen amazing results!
“After taking the 4-week hand, foot and face series I have seen amazing results in my overall body. I had long term swelling in my hands and was unable to wear my wedding ring on my ring finger. Now I can! I also walk more steadily and have to depend less on my cane.”
~Betty H.
Jenny’s MELT training was very beneficial
“ I enjoyed Jenny’s Level 1 MELT training and feel that it was very beneficial, especially for relieving my lower back pain. Her teaching method is clear, caring, and inclusive and she makes sure everyone has caught on before moving on”.

I feel balanced and even after MELT with Jenny
I no longer have issues with my hands and feet tingling (which was a side affect from chemotherapy). I feel like a had a massage – relaxed and flexible. My body feels more balanced and even after a MELT session with Jenny

Personal Training
Jenny works closely with you
“I’ve been taking personal training classes with Jenny in her home studio, which has so many options for training! She just installed a yoga wall in her home, which provides numerous opportunities for strengthening and conditioning. Jenny works closely with you to determine your personal workout goals and tailors the sessions accordingly. I intend to stick with Jenny for a long term and learn all that I can, she is marvelous!”

She is well trained
“Jenny has been my personal trainer at Carolina Arbors in Durham for over 3 years. I have enjoyed her MELT classes, YOGA classes and nutrition/cooking classes. Her knowledge in all these areas is outstanding, and she has been well trained. She is able to explain various techniques and terms so that her clients understand. She has a lovely sense of humor and a quiet sense of compassion about her. Her patience and flexibility in working with various injuries is one of her many strengths. Her passion as a health educator shines through, and it is a joy for me to work with her.”

Jenny is a fantastic trainer
“Jenny is a fantastic trainer. I cannot sing her praises enough. She is flexible around my schedule, patient with my progress, and always willing to modify workouts when needed. I leave every workout feeling accomplished. Not only does she believe in my abilities, but she also encourages me to believe in them myself. She is truly everything a trainer should be!”

Yoga
An exemplary teacher
“Jenny is an exemplary teacher. Very patient and professional. I can even keep my eyes closed through most of each session because she so clearly explains every move. I was always intimidated in other yoga classes, but not anymore! Now, I have better flexibility and I feel so much stronger!”
~ Marianne B.
She meets every need
“I’ve been taking yoga classes with Jenny since 2012. She is the teacher that meets every need. She is flexible in her teaching style, and her knowledge in all things yoga is limitless. She not only teaches you about yoga, but also teaches you about life. She has taught me how to be still and present on my yoga mat, and off the mat! Jenny opened the doors to a practice that is now a lifelong journey for me. For that, I am forever grateful.”
~ Darby P.

She treats each person with unique care, making sure to reach the appropriate level of experience and ability with every individual that attends her class. Jenny makes them feel important and successful. She’s truly an asset to my program.”

Yoga Retreats
It allowed me to just simply be
“This retreat opened doors to aspects of life that are often forgotten. It shined light onto gratitude, stillness, our connection to our inner-selves, to people, and to nature. It released the weight of the world for me, allowed my mind and heart to be opened, and to just simply be.”
~ Christal C.
Jenny’s retreats are peaceful and restorative
“I’ve attended several yoga retreats with Jenny. The retreats are so peaceful and restorative, you never want to come back to your real life! Dedicated to educating others about the best possible options for their health, as well as listening to the individual needs for her students, Jenny is the BEST of the BEST!”
~ Laura R.
Cooking Classes
Jenny provided us with knowledge
“I began attending Jenny’s Healthy Cooking classes to learn new ways to cook for my husband and myself. Although we’re only in our 60’s our bodies don’t appreciate the steak and French fries as in our younger days. Healthy Cooking with Jenny has helped me to adapt recipes and learn new ones that are tasty – and good for us. We both are much more cognizant of what we eat now and how it is prepared after attending her classes. We feel better! I like how Jenny presents her classes providing us with a better knowledge of foods and herbs and how we can enjoy them to get healthier!”
~ Irene W.
Jenny’s cooking demo was fantastic
“I loved all the extra cooking tips and the delicious tastings at Jenny’s “ Healthy Soups and Stews” cooking demo. Jenny’s ability to share her knowledge about reading food labels was very educational. Everything was fantastic.”
~ J.R.
Her recipes are fun, updated and healthy
“I loved Jenny’s “Healthy for the Holiday’s cooking class”. I have enjoyed cooking since I was young but Jenny’s recipes are fun, updated, and with that healthy twist that we are all looking for. Her personality and presentation of new recipes made this class totally enjoyable! I can’t wait for the next class!”
