Jeanine Connolly

Jeanine graduated from the College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in 1997. Since graduating, she has practiced Massage Therapy in both Ontario and Newfoundland in a variety of settings such as a Massage Therapy Clinic, Chiropractic Clinic, Spa, and a Fitness Centre. Within these different settings, she has provided treatments that range from relaxation massage, treatments for motor vehicle accidents to sport specific massage for amateur and professional athletes. While working in Ontario, she was on a number of committees including the local board for her Massage Therapy Association and the Business After Five Committee with the Chamber of Commerce.

In the Fall of 2016, Jeanine returned home to Newfoundland to be closer to her family. In March 2020, she joined our Lifestyle Physiotherapy family. As an RMT, Jeanine strives to provide the most effective and up to date treatments for her clients by continuing her education in her field.

She has done extra training with TMJ Dysfunction, Cupping Therapy and Hot Stone Massage courses just to name a few.

When not at work, you can probably find Jeanine at the arena coaching Figure Skating/Synchronized Skating. She also enjoys walking/hiking, volunteering within the community and most of all, travelling to her next concert or baseball game!
