About Jenna McKinney

Originally from Ottawa, Jenna moved to Morinville, Alberta at a young age and has been an active part of her community ever since. From her early involvement in Big Brothers Big Sisters and Rotary Interact to fundraising initiatives supporting local seniors and domestic violence survivors, Jenna has always been driven to make a positive impact. Her love for sports and strength training sparked a lifelong interest in health and movement, which eventually led her to massage therapy. Jenna is committed to ongoing learning and is passionate about delivering compassionate, personalized care to every client she works with.

Outside of the clinic, Jenna is an avid reader and moviegoer. She loves being outdoors, especially in the mountains, and stays active through hiking, gym sessions, and time with friends. Creative at heart, Jenna explores hobbies like crocheting and pottery (she recently discovered she’s got a knack for making plates!). Her guiding philosophy is to make time for the things that bring joy and to try as many new experiences as possible along the way.

What’s your favourite place to eat?
