ABOUT JADE…
So… I graduated from The University of Chichester in 2011 where I gained a Batchelor of Science Honours degree in Sports Therapy, but this all came about having retired my initial career path
as a ballerina
All through my teens and early twenties I was a dancer however, having been put in pointe shoes from the age of 12 I was regularly in the physio room having treatment to keep me on my toes!
Having experienced lots of sports & physiotherapy I’d gained a keen interest in the human body and why/how we get injured. so, In 2006 I decided to hang up the ballet shoes, retire the dancing idea and pursue a career in sports therapy
My career so far has been and continues to be awesome! I started in professional football, where during my studies in 2007 was offered a job with Brighton & Hove Albion FC and continued with the team until I bit the bullet to go self employed in private practice in 2013
I wasn’t quite ready to give up on the sporting side lines, so whilst building a client base in a private practice in Hassocks, I side stepped into rugby, where for 3 seasons I was clinical lead for Haywards Heath RFC
Amongst all of this I also completed some rotations within the NHS, where I gained a wealth of experience in different fields but particularly enjoyed, MSK outpatients, hydrotherapy, respiratory & neuro
I joined the team at The Heeler Centre in 2013, which in 2020 managed the clinic as well as continuing to treat 6 days a week! In July 2024 I decided it was time to start building my own business so made the difficult decision to leave The Heeler Centre and put all of my energy into me!…
I LOVE the sea… or any body of water for that matter
I only drink coffee iced… with oat milk & vanilla!
I have a water rescue doggo called Lola-Bear - she’s 70kg
(yes she keeps me warm, yes she sits on your lap, no she doesn’t eat a lot!)surfing, swimming, snowboarding & dog walking are my fave things to do
I enjoy cooking but I cant bake to save my life
I was an associate dancer at The British Royal Ballet School
I love planning city breaks and holidays
I’m an excellent organiser
I have two tiny tattoo’s… a jellyfish and my initials… because
I’m incredibly patient and waited 15 years for my husband to finally propose… so I permanently marked the occasion!
3 things I’d take on a desert island… SPF, surf board & champagne
FACTS ABOUT JADE…
Beachside Sports Therapy was created in the summer of 2023, when a lovely colleague of mine, Mo Froud, who I’ve worked with for 10 years at my practice in Hassocks, took on a space at the new Sea Lanes development in Brighton
Mo invited me to come and join her in the beautiful ‘Little Beach Clinic’ and being a lover of the beach & Brighton, and being given the opportunity to set up my own therapy business within ‘The Little Beach Clinic’… how could I say no!!
*Plug- Mo’s an incredible acupuncturist!
Jade can be found across both the Sea Lanes & Shoreham practice
