Dr Jesse
Jesse moved to Sydney from Vancouver, Canada in February 2020 to study my Masters in Chiropractic and continued to finish her studies in December 2022.
Jesse has a strong passion for health, wellness and fitness and has always been motivated to share her passion and knowledge with others, and continue to educate and guide people on a path to better health.
Jesse has been an athlete her entire life and enjoys being active in just about every way possible; Pilates, running, walking, hiking, weightlifting, soccer, basketball - the list goes on! She has been seeing a chiropractor since she was very young, even receiving her first adjustment as a baby! Jesse believes physical health is reflected through our patterns of daily living and even goes on to mirror what is happening in our bodies on a chemical and emotional level.
Her motivation is to help patients become their best selves through education of the human body and what we can do to help ourselves at a physical, chemical and emotional level.
Jesse’s treatments include soft tissue/massage work, acupuncture, mobilizations, adjustments, applied kinesiology and giving patients rehabilitation exercises to strengthen any deficits that may present.
She understands that every patient is unique and she takes the time to really understand and tailor her treatment to make sure the individual patient can get the best possible outcome based on their own presentation.
In her spare time, Jesse loves to read, go to the beach, FaceTime her Mom & Dad back in Canada, and pet just about every dog possible!
