Jade is a passionate and dedicated Occupational Therapist and Accredited Hand Therapist with over 17 years of experience in private practice. Since completing her Master of Occupational Therapy in 2009, she has worked across hospital, private, and community settings, treating a wide range of acute and chronic hand and upper limb conditions.

​

Jade’s background in Health Promotion and her early work in remote WA public health have shaped her holistic, education-based approach to therapy — where prevention and empowerment are just as important as hands-on treatment.

​

Her clinical strengths include managing complex and undiagnosed wrist issues, splint and orthotic fabrication, and supporting recovery following injury or surgery. She is also passionate about helping people manage chronic conditions like arthritis, empowering clients to better understand their condition, reduce symptoms, and maintain function — helping prevent unnecessary decline and improve quality of life.

​

Jade is deeply committed to ensuring her community has access to the highest standard of care, close to home. She continually explores and invests in innovative, evidence-based treatment technologies — often seen in elite sports settings — and brings them into her hand therapy practice so every client can benefit from the very best approaches for faster recovery and long-term wellness.

​

Outside the clinic, Jade is a proud and busy mum of four and a loving wife. She shares a love of horse riding with her daughters (while her son prefers anything with wheels!) and spends weekends supporting their sports, riding ponies, and cheering from the sidelines. She also plays and coaches netball in the local community. When not in the clinic, Jade runs Umatah Retreat Chalet and embraces the joyful chaos of country life. Having grown up in Byford and returned to raise her family here, she feels deeply connected to the community and is grateful for the trust and support of her patients — past, present, and future.
