Our Founder
Jenni is a senior chartered physiotherapist with over 11 years clinical experience.
Following her mum’s osteoporosis diagnosis, she began working with her mum to improve her bone density and reduce her risk of falls and associated injuries. Since then she has set up bone health services in private practices in Ireland and the UK, screening at-risk individuals and working with people to reduce their fall risk, improve their bone health and strength through personalised exercise and lifestyle programs.
Jenni became frustrated with the fragmented care in bone health and osteoporosis management and the difficulty people faced trying to access specialist services. She is passionate about ensuring people receive the best care available and she is now on a mission to reach more people through a digital solution.
By developing Building Bones Jenni hopes to make bone health support accessible to everyone. Ensuring that support is reliable, engaging, easy to understand, and meets people’s goals.
