I'm passionate about what I do here at HERO Health Spa, as every day brings something new to learn and discover.

Jenni Arnaud

Patient Liaison

My name is Jenni Arnaud, and I work as the Patient Liaison at Acadiana Pain and Performance Rehab. I work closely with patients to help them stay on track with their plan of care and ensure they feel supported every step of the way. I've had the privilege of working alongside Derrick Hines for over six years, and during that time, I've developed a deep passion for helping people become the healthiest, happiest versions of themselves. One of my favorite parts of the job is connecting with patients, making them smile, encouraging them, and watching their progress firsthand. I truly believe that when you love what you do, it never feels like work, and I'm grateful to be in a role where I get to serve others every day. Outside the clinic, I'm a proud mother of three beautiful children—motherhood is my greatest joy and life's most meaningful adventure. I also love spending time with family outdoors, cooking, enjoying live music at festivals, and sharing great food with great people.

A true Lafayette native, Hannah brings a deep passion for storytelling to Acadiana Pain. She earned her bachelor's degree in Mass Communication and master's degree in Strategic Communication from Louisiana State University, where she developed a specialization in journalism and media history (unexpected, but a great fun-fact when needed). Before joining APPR, Hannah built her communications foundation at LSU's Olinde Career Center and the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, where she honed her skills in brand communication. She also brought her marketing expertise to the food industry before finding her home in healthcare — where meaningful storytelling meets real impact on people's lives. As Director of Marketing, Hannah is passionate about one thing: making sure no one in Acadiana has to live with pain simply because they didn't know where to turn. She is dedicated to sharing the Acadiana Pain story in a way that reaches, resonates with, and inspires the community they serve. When she's not crafting campaigns or building the Acadiana Pain brand, Hannah loves spending time with her family, learning a random new topic (as if the media history wasn't nerdy enough), and cheering on her favorite Formula 1 drivers.
