Jess has a Bachelor of Applied Science (Human Biology) and a Masters in Osteopathy. As part of her training, she completed a thesis on pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy and has continued to grow her knowledge in that field. From there she widened her scope to postpartum health and babies (more info here).
When Jess is not treating mums & babies she is helping office workers with their headaches and posture issues. She uses a combination of osteopathic treatments and Pilates-based exercises to get them back on their feet!
