• University Of Northern Colorado, Cancer Exercise Specialist

A graduate of George Brown College Fitness and Lifestyle Management, Jenna Howe´s emphasis is whole body regeneration. The name Rejeneration reflects Jenna’s desire to encapsulate her vision of whole body wellness and rejuvenation.
In 2002, Jenna was introduced to The Bowen Technique through a colleague, good friend and massage therapist. From that moment onward she knew that Bowen Therapy would be an integral part of her business. Through the years Jenna has worked on numerous physical issues and illness, children, elderly and athletes (both for chronic and acute injuries) using the gentle, pain free, neuromuscular technique known as Bowen.
On Working With Athletes
Jenna has been collaborating with a colleague in California in bringing The Bowen Technique to the forefront of addressing Post Concussion Syndrome. This innovative discovery has lead Jenna down an exciting path that now includes continuing her studies at York University in psychology with a special interest in neuroscience. Jenna is interested in working with all levels of athletes from children to adults, recreational to professional. Ultimately, the goal is for athletes of all ages and abilities to feel confident that there is a safe, effective treatment for concussions that will prolong their sporting career. Currently (in North America), the most known treatment is a ‘wait and see’ approach which can potentially put many athletes at risk for long term symptoms, becoming re-concussed, and increases the likelihood of not reporting even minor symptoms (to parents, coaches, trainers).
On Working With Active & Recovered Cancer Patients
Jenna’s’ interest in Exercise and Cancer Recovery began in 2003 and led her to Colorado in 2005 to become a Cancer Exercise Specialist. Her training was completed at the Rocky Mountain Cancer Rehabilitation Institute, located at The University of Northern Colorado. The role of exercise in cancer recovery is not to increase fitness level, but quality of life, and after many years of research there is still some misconceptions of the role exercise can play in the recovery process. Jenna can help navigate your way through these misconceptions and provide you with the knowledge and expertise to safely exercise during cancer treatment and post cancer rehabilitation.
World wide health trends also show that complimentary and alternative medicine is being recognized, and used more frequently for it’s ability to reduce the negative side effects of chemotherapy, and other intensive treatments that take a toll on the body and immune system. Jenna continues to watch world health trends, following leaders such as the Society for Integrative Oncology, and update her knowledge base accordingly. As a Registered Bowen Health Practitioner, and a Reiki practitioner, as well as a Cancer Exercise Specialist, Jenna holds a unique skill set which is ideal for working with cancer patients, their doctors, social workers, nutritionists and supportive family members.
On Health, Wellness And Moving Our Bodies
Although Jenna has been focused primarily on rehabilitation in various forms over the years, she has still never forgotten her love of dance. Dance can be therapeutic on many levels, and Jenn continues to incorporate this ancient form of movement in many of her fitness and health plans. While attending a conference in 2007 , Jenna found Zumba, a Latin inspired dance fitness class that is guaranteed to inspire you to move!
In addition to working with clients one on one, Jenna is committed to educating the public about preventative health, complimentary and alternative medicine and how it can be used with traditional treatment to ease pain, suffering for the patient, and how simple changes can have a profound effect on good health. Workshops and classes are offered to the Kawartha Lakes region as well as the Greater Toronto Area.
