About Jess Gesthuizen
“Everyone has a right to a dignified life, lived to their fullest capacity.”
Jess graduated from La Trobe University with a Master of Occupational Therapy and a Bachelor of Applied Science. She has worked across a range of allied health settings and found her passion in community work, drawn to the variety of interventions and the chance to build long-term relationships with her clients.
She works collaboratively and holistically with clients and their support networks around goal setting, motivation and strengths-based progress, and enjoys finding creative solutions to barriers through task adaptation and assistive technology. Outside work, Jess loves cooking, travelling, music events, art, and exploring Melbourne with her two golden retrievers.
