Jacqui is the founder and principal physiotherapist at Reform Physiotherapy and Pilates Clinic, where she enjoys working with clients across all levels of function and fitness.
Jacqui is an experienced physiotherapist with a passion for helping people move better and live well — from individuals aiming to stay active and independent to elite athletes returning to peak performance. Her clinical interests span sport and musculoskeletal injuries, pre- and post-operative rehabilitation, Pilates and gym-based exercise rehabilitation, and manual therapy. She is also trained in dry needling and tailors exercise programs to suit each client’s individual goals and abilities.
In addition to her clinic work, Jacqui holds several high-performance roles. She consults with the South Australian Sports Institute (SASI), supporting both Olympic and Paralympic athletes – particularly in canoe sprint and beach volleyball – and provides support as a physiotherapist for the Men’s National Beach Volleyball Team. She has travelled nationally and internationally with Paddle Australia, providing physiotherapy support to the Australian canoe sprint and kayak teams.
Jacqui also contracts with Tennis Australia, providing physiotherapy services at international junior and professional tournaments across the country. Her roles require close collaboration with sports physicians, surgeons, and support teams to ensure safe and effective athlete care – an approach she brings back to her clinical practice to benefit all patients.
A certified Pilates instructor in both mat and equipment-based Pilates, Jacqui has extensive experience delivering Pilates-based rehabilitation to a diverse range of clients, including Olympic-level athletes. She has previously consulted with the South Australian Women’s Cricket Team, designing individualised exercise programs, and is currently a lead presenter and examiner for the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute (APPI), teaching Pilates courses to physiotherapists and other health and fitness professionals across Australia and internationally.
Jacqui holds a Bachelor of Science from California State University, where she combined her studies with NCAA Division 1 tennis over four years. Upon returning to Adelaide, Jacqui completed her Master of Physiotherapy at the University of South Australia, and most recently, her Master of Advanced Clinical Physiotherapy (Sports), further strengthening her expertise in evidence-based sports injury management and rehabilitation.
Outside of work, Jacqui enjoys spending time with her family, staying active with her dogs, running, practising Pilates, and travelling.
