Your Hosts

Dr. Jen Kinder

PT, MS, DPTSc

I am honored to co-host the 2019 Adrenal Health retreat with Dr. Sarah Rothman – a true leader in Integrative Health! 

I am a Pelvic Health and Orthopedic Physical Therapist, Associate Professor of Kinesiology, and the founder of Rehab Fitness & Wellness. Similar to Sarah, I approach health care from an integrative perspective. I am passionate about empowering my patients with the knowledge and tools to reach their health goals. My physical therapy practice focuses on how to effectively engage inner core strength to re-connect with your body; the goal is to build and maintain a solid foundation for movement. To teach these principles I utilize breathwork, neuromuscular re-education, therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, biofeedback, body mechanics, postural re-education, and self-care techniques.

 

When I am not in clinic or teaching, I am a mama to two beautiful boys who I am grateful to share with my loving husband. I enjoy yoga, dance, running, the ocean, and all things outdoors.

 

I look forward to being a partner on this journey to optimal health with you!

Dr. Sarah Rothman

ND, L.Ac, FABORM

I am so excited to host this weekend with Jen- she is a PT goddess and I’ve never met anyone so passionate about the pelvic floor!

I am a Mama, Naturopathic Doctor, an Acupuncturist and Herbalist, and Founder of Thyme Integrative Health- a Multidisciplinary Integrative Health Clinic serving the Bay Area and Coastside Community.

I am passionate about Integrating Western and Eastern medicine and value a multilayered approach to health through preventative medicine, mindfulness, breath, food, herbs, acupuncture and self care. I have studied medicine all over the world and grateful to be able to serve my community living and practicing beside the ocean with a group of amazing humans.

I am in love with my kids (my biggest teachers), my sweet sweet husband, the ocean, all things mother nature, the medicine magic of plants and flowers and food, travel, yoga, music, learning, sharing and growing.

I am so grateful, excited and humbled at this opportunity to spend this special weekend with you!
