Jane is a Myotherapist with more than 25 years experience. She began her journey in the health profession studying a Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy (SSNT) in 2000. She did massage as a part of this study and it was clear that while the holistic principles of naturopathic medicine resonated deeply for her, hands-on treatment was where it was at. She continued her manual therapy studies through the Diploma of Remedial Massage (2006) and the Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy courses. She also managed to sneak in a cheeky post graduate Applied Science Degree in Chinese Medicine Acupuncture in 2013.
Jane sees working with clients through bodywork as a special opportunity to partner with them on the journey to recovery, and her primary aim of treatment is to nurture, listen and remove the obstacles to feeling good. As well as a good pair of experienced hands, Jane has strong clinical reasoning skills and a broad range of manual techniques to draw from, including Deep Tissue Massage, MFR (Myofascial Release), Trigger Point Therapy, MET (Muscle Energy Technique) and Flame Cupping. Jane does use needles, although sparingly, relying on manual therapy as a first preference. She has worked extensively with people experiencing chronic pain syndromes and a broad range of muscular dysfunctions resulting from overuse, postural problems, acute and chronic injuries.
Jane is also a deeply passionate educator; teaching in the Diploma of Massage and Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy courses. Having done this since 2012, she finds that teaching keeps her skills and knowledge frosty, and ensures she can bring the best of current practice to her clinical work.
Outside of work life, Jane is a mum to two young adult daughters. She is also a seeing eye human to her blind greyhound, Bear. Jane gigs regularly, fronting a 9 piece Rocksteady band and she also sings with a 60s Garage Surf band. She also loves to stitch clothes and accessories and has a wicked fabric stash habit.
