Meet Jenni
Principal Physiotherapist & Director
Jenni is a passionate and highly skilled Physiotherapist with extensive experience in paediatrics and developmental physiotherapy.
Since graduating in 2012, Jenni has worked across private and public sectors, and in collaboration with the Women's and Children's Hospital, to refine her skills in the early detection and early intervention of infants and children with movement dysfunction and developmental delays. She has a clinical interest in working with children who have a developmental delay or physical disability, and she enjoys working with newborns, infants and their parents.
​​
Jenni has completed additional training to support children with movement issues who are autistic or who experience sensory dysfunction and coordination challenges.
​​​
Jenni is experienced in implementing a transdisciplinary model of care, and delivers a global developmental therapy approach. This means that Jenni can integrate the development of a child's speech and occupational therapy goals into their physiotherapy session. Jenni prioritises working in collaboration with a client’s therapy team, medical team, educators and caregivers to support a child's global developmental success.
​​
Jenni's personal experience as a mother to an autistic child with complex physical and health care needs has given her a unique perspective and understanding of the challenges faced by families in similar situations. She recognises the significance of dependable local therapy supports to optimise intervention outcomes and to seamlessly integrate therapy into the weekly routine. This vision inspired the establishment of Shine Bright Physiotherapy in 2024.

When Jenni takes off her Physiotherapist hat, she enjoys exercising, gardening, caravanning, and taking her children to swimming lessons.
