— ABOUT JANE
A BIT ABOUT ME
Remedial Massage Therapist, SOMA Breath® Instructor, and founder of JP Bodywise.
Hi, I’m Jane — originally from Newcastle, England, I moved to Perth, WA in 2012.
From as early as three years old I was always on the go: ballet, stage and tap dancing, trampolining, cross-country running, athletics, basketball, football, netball. My proudest achievement was a gymnastics career spanning over a decade, competing at national level in both Artistic and Team Gymnastics.
Being a competitive gymnast put a lot of stress on my body, and I had my fair share of injuries — from overuse to trauma to growing pains. As I grew older and less active, those injuries stopped healing as quickly. Combine that with a sedentary desk job and the onset of an autoimmune disease, and I was a far cry from the healthy athlete I once was.
That lit a fire in me. I needed to get healthier. I needed to make a change. I wanted to do something I was good at, that I liked, that helped people — people like me. With support from a personal trainer and life coach, I rebuilt my mindset, my health and my lifestyle, and found a new path. I asked myself: what do I love? Health and fitness. What do I understand? Pain and injury. What am I great at? Massage therapy. That’s when I knew this was the work I was meant to do.
I went on to complete my Diploma of Remedial Massage and opened JP Bodywise, where I help active, hard-working people move well, feel strong and stay injury-free.
Around the same time, I discovered SOMA Breath®, and it completely changed the way I viewed health and recovery.
Living with an autoimmune condition taught me that recovery isn’t just about muscles, joints or physical pain. I realised that when my nervous system is constantly under pressure, my body is using its energy simply trying to keep up. It becomes much harder to recover, adapt and function at its best.
Breathwork gave me a practical way to slow down, regulate my nervous system and create the conditions for my body to do what it’s naturally designed to do. Since making it a regular part of my life, it’s become one of the biggest tools in helping me keep my autoimmune condition under control.
That’s why I’m so passionate about sharing it with others.
As a remedial massage therapist, I’ve always believed recovery is about more than treating sore muscles. Massage can help release physical tension, but lasting wellbeing also comes from looking after what’s happening beneath the surface.
For me, breathwork and massage go hand in hand — helping people move better, recover better, feel calmer, and reconnect with themselves from the inside out.
Outside the clinic, you’ll usually find me hitting the gym, flipping around at adult gymnastics once a week, or hanging on to the back of my partner’s Harley. I also share life with two Chocolate Labradors, Rex and Dex(ta), who keep me active, grounded, and covered in dog hair.
