Jenna McMahon

Principal Massage Therapist, Owner

For twenty years Jenna has devoted her career to soft tissue rehabilitation and prenatal, birth support and postpartum care. Soon after graduating from Wellington College in 2002 she completed multiple courses to offer clinical prenatal Massage Therapy and in January of 2006 began attending hospital births as a Labour & Delivery Support Therapist.

In 2007 she evolved professionally and certified as a yoga teacher while also branching out as an entrepreneur. She completed a 200 hour teacher training, three separate prenatal and postpartum yoga teacher trainings, structural alignment principles certification, and an advanced yoga teacher training in Indonesia. Between 2008 and 2013 she regularly offered a 10 week prenatal yoga program that she created by drawing from her work in both the field of Maternity Massage Therapy and yoga.

While she no longer actively teaches, years spent studying yoga allowed her to explore and understand mind-body (psychosomatic) response. A soft tissue treatment with her often includes careful consideration of how individual life experience, stress, or trauma can manifest physically in the body. She supports inner reflection, emotional release and curious conversations that can often reveal deeper communication the body is attempting to have. Yoga is still her go-to healing tool, and she may suggest yoga postures as home care after you leave the centre.

Recently Jenna completed 300 hours of Numasomatics Breathwork Facilitation Training. She helped co-create the Winnipeg Breathwork Collective, and has been exploring how to weave this care into her current therapeutic protocol.

When not in the office, Jenna devotes herself to family and her three "fur kids". Her rescue dog Phillip can periodically be seen on Equilibrium's social media platforms, and he has quite a few fans in our community!

Jenna is a member of the Massage Therapy Association of Manitoba (MTAM). 

Jenna has been featured in the Winnipeg Free Press for her extensive work in Labour and Delivery Massage Therapy. The article briefly touches on the experience Jenna had when she took her skills all the way to a small community in the Dominican Republic in 2014.
