Cert. 3 Wellness Coaching, Dip. Human Nutrition, HCANZA. 2025 Health & Wellness Coach of the Year in a Healthcare Setting award winner, HCANZA

Through health coaching, Jess is able to translate nutrition and lifestyle treatment strategies into practical, sustainable change for patients managing complex health concerns. Her clinical experience includes supporting patients through structured dietary interventions such as the SIBO bi-phasic diet, low-histamine, anti-inflammatory and cardiometabolic protocols. She also works closely with continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data, using it to help patients understand their own metabolic responses and make informed, personalised changes to food, movement and daily habits.

A particular area of passion for Jess is supporting women through the perimenopausal and postmenopausal years. She helps patients navigate this life stage with tailored strategies for energy, burnout recovery and vitality, built around sleep, movement, mindfulness and nutrition, so they feel more like themselves again rather than simply managing symptoms.

Jess started her health coaching career in 2016 after more than a decade in corporate travel. Her own health challenges reignited a passion for nutrition and movement, prompting a career change that led her to complete a Nutrition degree, become a qualified health coach, and join the Melbourne Functional Medicine team in September 2021.

Jess believes real change starts with awareness. She holds meaningful, authentic conversations with her patients to help them identify their baseline lifestyle habits, then works with them to build a clear health vision, the foundation, she believes, for the small, consistent habit shifts that lead to lasting results.
