Jess has been working in the field since 2024 between Melbourne and Brisbane. She is an active member of the queer community and identifies as genderfluid (she/they). Jess practices polyamory as a relationship structure and uses relationship anarchy (RA) to navigate new and old connections with radical self care strategies. She is a registered dance psychotherapist with the Dance Therapy Association of Australiasia (DTAA) and carries a post-graduate degree in SDMT.

She uses an integrative approach towards their movement therapy including: Laban/Bartenieff fundamentals, polyvagal theory, Hanna somatics, authentic movement, bio-energetics, tactile and sense therapy, sound & art therapy, eco-somatics, spiritual guidance and holistic health mentorship.

She specialises in adaptive bodywork practices and Dance Movement Therapy for:

• Mental health,

• Physical disability,

• Chronic pain,

• Trauma processing,

• Neurodiversity,

• Queer and Transgender communities.

Jess is a self starter and has built successful businesses she maintains today. She has lived experience that aligns with aspects of the Disability Justice Framework, LGBT Movement and Mad Pride Movement. On their journey Jess recognised that she was able to honour themselves as a whole person regardless of the ability to meet capitalist society's ideals of productivity or functioning, even through marginalisation.

She drove a narrative of sustainability and healthy/alternative lifestyles, in order to successfully reposition themselves at the sideline of oppressive structures. Jess is a lover of nature and finds earthing and solitude a grounding practice. She will often be seen in far off destinations exploring around the world.

Jess’s childhood was enveloped by an immediate family that shared love through the joys of music, dance and theatre. Receiving formal training at the Western Australian Academy in Performance Art in primary school years, she continued during adolescence to attend various institutes and schools to gain training in music, vocal, dance and theatre aspects of performance art.
