Our MTM Rehab Gym Team

Jess Graduated from UWA in 2012 where she was awarded the Tracy Cawson Prize in Exercise Rehabilitation. She first joined the MTM team in 2014 and relishes the opportunity to make a difference in people's lives through exercise prescription. 

Jess has always been fascinated with how the body works and together with her love of sport she found Exercise Physiology was a perfect fit to translate her passion into a way of helping people. She is a movement optimist and takes great pride in continuing to learn and upskill to remain contemporary and provide client-centred care that is evidence based. She is particularly passionate about managing chronic and complex conditions, post-operative rehabilitation and getting people of all abilities involved in strength training.  

Having taught clinical Pilates for many years, Jess enjoys putting her own spin on Pilates in her classes at MTM. She also believes that the reformers are an effective rehabilitation tool and provide a great way to exercise. 

Jess will help you reach your goals through a holistic exercise program tailored to your individual needs and she will enjoy sharing the journey with you!
