Hi, I'm Jess!
Hey, I’m Jess—Personal Trainer, Nutritionist-in-Training, and founder of The Nourished PT.
My mission? To help you break free from dieting, fuel your body for performance, and finally build a healthy, sustainable relationship with food.
Like many, my fitness journey started with good intentions but took a challenging turn. In 2016, during a phase of strict dieting and over-exercising, I developed binge eating disorder and an all-consuming obsession with food. What started as a desire to be healthier turned into a vicious cycle of restriction, guilt, and shame that took years to break.
Determined to understand my body and heal my relationship with food, I became a qualified Personal Trainer and Pilates instructor, later pursuing a Bachelor of Exercise & Nutrition Science at UQ. Through education and experience, I learned that food isn’t just fuel—it’s about performance, enjoyment, and long-term health. Now in my final year of studies, I focus on helping others fuel smarter, train with purpose, and ditch the diet mentality for good.
Beyond coaching, I’ve worked with fitness and nutrition brands on recipe development and performance-based nutrition, aligning with my mission to help people move beyond dieting and start eating in a way that truly supports their goals.
No more dieting. No more obsession. Just training smart, fueling well, and enjoying the process. If you're ready to make the switch from restrictive eating to performance-based nutrition and training, you’re in the right place. Let’s get to work. 💛

Like many, my fitness journey started with good intentions—but took a challenging turn.

Through study and experience, I discovered that food isn’t just fuel—it’s about performance, enjoyment, and long-term health.
Now in my final year of studies, I specialise in helping runners fuel smarter, train with purpose, and ditch the diet mentality for good. Whether you’re chasing a new PB or building up to your first event, I’m here to support your performance with nutrition that works with your body—not against it.
Beyond coaching, I’ve worked with fitness and nutrition brands on recipe development and performance-based nutrition, always with a focus on supporting active lifestyles—especially in the running space.
No more dieting. No more obsession. Just smart training, effective fuelling, and enjoying the process. If you're ready to move from restriction to performance-based running and nutrition, you’re in the right place. Let’s get to work. 💛
I believe the missing piece in most routines isn’t another training session—it’s proper nutrition. True wellness and performance come from fuelling your body to meet the demands of running, not from restriction or burnout. My coaching focuses on bridging that gap with personalised training and nutrition strategies, helping you perform better, recover faster, and build a healthier relationship with food and movement.

"Jess is an amazing Personal Trainer! From the very start, she listened carefully to my goals and created a plan that suited my needs perfectly. After having a baby, I wanted to strengthen my running and build my fitness back up, and Jess was with me every step of the way.
When I had a small injury, she worked seamlessly alongside my physiotherapist to make sure I could continue training safely without losing progress. Her easy-going nature made very session enjoyable, and she always knew how to motivate me, even on the days I felt less confident.
Her knowledge and support has been invaluable, and I felt stronger, more capable, and more excited about running than ever. I couldn't recommend Jess enough to anyone looking for a trainer who truly cares about you."

"Jess has been the biggest part of my fitness journey for the last 5 years. From the motivating classes, the one-on-one personal training sessions that helped me with navigating strength exercises, to nutrition advice. Not to mention the overall emotional support, I couldn't recommend Jess' services enough"

"Jess was my Personal Trainer for a few sessions, and I went to many of her classes offered at Active Life Fitness, as well as running into here and there at surrounding cafes. I have never felt more comfortable and listened to in regard to my lifestyle and wats to improve fitness. Jess really have me a heap of perspective, advice, and just friendliness. I highly recommend Jess because she's the ultimate person you'd need for your fitness and wellbeing journey"

"I saw how fit and strong Jess was when I first joined the gym and I wanted that! The strength program's that Jess has written for me have not only given me the added strength that I wanted, but more than that, they give me confidence in the gym.
Jess is always happy to answer my questions whether it be related to exercise or nutrition. I love seeing her workouts and recipes. She definitely leads by example!"

"Jess was someone I saw achieving the goals I wanted to achieve in running, yet despite trying to do things on my own with the “I know best attitude” for almost a year, I wasn’t getting anywhere close to my goals. This is when I decided to reach out and work with Jess to train for my first Half Marathon race. The block was 8 short weeks, yet it completely transformed my running, my love for the sport and my self confidence. As I progressed through the block I was met with self-doubt as well mental and physical fatigue. The emotional and practical support I received from Jess was next to none. Working with Jess over the 8 weeks not only in training, but in nutrition, fuelling for performance and race prep, I was able to execute my first Half marathon race and shave off 30+ minutes off my previous PB! I can’t wait to continue to work with Jess in preparation for the next goal of the Marathon. So very grateful."
