Jessica graduated from the University of Alberta in 1998 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Therapy (with distinction). She continued her education with numerous post-graduate courses in manual therapy, myofacial release, and acupuncture. In 2006, after attending a physiotherapy symposium, she discovered the missing element in her practice - breathing. After attending her first course in breathing biofeedback, she began to integrate breathing retraining into her practice. In 2010, she traveled to New Zealand to become certified in the BradCliff Method® of breathing retraining. In 2016 she completed a Master of Science in Applied Breathing Sciences from the Graduate School of Behavioural Health Sciences, which allows her to focus on the behavioural aspects of dysfunctional breathing. In 2015 she was awarded a grant through the Clinical Research Innovation Fund and is investigating the link between dysfunctional breathing and asthma in children. She is currently a co-investigator in another project looking at pelvic floor function during inspiratory muscle training. Jessica is the 2016 recipient of the Pinnacle Award of Excellence from Physiotherapy Alberta. Jessica is the Canadian Instructor for the New Zealand-based BradCliff Method®.

Jessica believes strongly in working with other health care providers and communicating with them to ensure the end result is a happy and healthy individual.
