Meet Jess
With a Masters of Physiotherapy, a Bachelor in Sport and Exercise Science (majoring in Clinical Exercise Physiology), and certifications in Pilates and Fitness (Cert III & IV), Jess brings a deep clinical background to her coaching and classes. Her approach is grounded in functional movement, personalised programming, and years of hands-on experience helping people move better, feel stronger, and return to the activities they love.
Jess has worked as both a Clinical Exercise Physiologist and Physiotherapist in private practice, combining manual therapy, exercise prescription, Pilates, and soft tissue techniques to support injury rehab, pain management, and performance.
Now based in Wanaka with her husband and two young kids, Jess balances her work with an active outdoor lifestyle — often found mountain biking, skiing, hiking, or out on the lake. She’s passionate about helping others move with confidence and build strength that supports real life.
