Jackie Wolf, BSIE, LMT, OWNER
Jackie has been a licensed therapist since 2007. She ran a highly successful private practice in Kent, Ohio for 5 years. Recognizing there is a large demand for therapeutic work and medical therapies, she founded Stillpoint Therapeutics in Hudson, Ohio where she now employs an ever-expanding staff of licensed therapists.
Jackie built her business with a solid foundation. After earning her bachelors degree in Industrial Engineering and 20 years experience in corporate and entrepreneurial business, she graduated from the Ohio College of Massotherapy in 2006. Her engineering background brings a strong understanding of the body as a mechanical being. She understands energy and the loads and resistances you put on your body with respect to movement; this along with her analytical skills help identify pain patterns and enables her to work efficiently and yield quicker healing results.
She has completed more than 700 additional hours of continuing education. Jackie is board certified in Clinical Rehabilitative Therapy and trained in Craniosacral Therapy, SomatoEmotional Release Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Neural Manipulation, Precision Neuromuscular Therapy, Precision Neuro Mobilization, Precision Muscular Mobilization, MyoFascial Release Therapy, Sports Therapy, Kinesiology, Pelvic Dysfunctions, and Orthopedic Massage.
