Meet Jade and Jess - the husband and wife team behind The Village.
Jade is a paediatric chiropractor.
Jess is a clinical psychologist.
We share a deep-rooted passion for family wellness. Together, we lead The Village Health Collective as one team, working from one shared understanding of what's actually going on for a family.
Our Approach
A newborn who won't settle isn't just a sleep problem - and the mother going without sleep isn't just tired. A teenager avoiding school isn't just being difficult - sometimes her body is running on empty before her day even starts. Pain and stress, physical tension and emotional overwhelm, are never as separate as the healthcare system usually treats them.
So we built a practice where a chiropractor and a psychologist work from one shared understanding of what’s going on for you and your family. We call this a nervous-system-informed approach - because the nervous system is the thread that connects how your body feels to how you cope, how your child regulates, and how your whole family functions together.
Because it takes a village to raise a child - and to hold a family through every stage that comes with raising one. We're part of that village. Not the whole thing, and not trying to replace the people already in your corner - but one place where the physical and emotional sides of your family's health are cared for together, side by side.
Village -
Because that's what we are: one team, working from one understanding of what's going on for a family, moving in the same direction.
Collective -
We are your village - for every season of family life.
Our Team
Caring for families is only half of why this clinic exists. The other half is about the people delivering that care.
Before this clinic existed, Jess and Jade were both working as contractors in other clinics. And the thing they kept running into, over and over, was that clients were looked after - but the people caring for them weren't.
We built The Village Health Collective to be a place where our team feels safe to learn, and is still challenged - not against a target set by the business, but against goals that are genuinely their own. A place where the people doing the work are actually looked after, through two deliberate choices: manageable caseloads, and real team culture - not the kind that's just a line on a careers page.
Because here's the thing: team culture isn't a nice-to-have for us. It's the whole model. When people feel safe in a community, and safe enough to be honest within it, that connection becomes a genuine buffer against hardship. And that matters to you too - a clinician who isn't running on empty is one who can actually be present with you.
We want this to be somewhere our team is proud to work, and somewhere you're proud to bring your family. And we'd love for that to reach further than our four walls, into the wider community we're part of.
Our Vision
To create spaces where people grow, heal, and thrive together
Our Mission
To build a connected healthcare community that delivers exceptional care and creates experiences where people feel safe, supported, and empowered to live healthier lives
Whatever season of family life you're in - expecting, exhausted, worried about a child, or just trying to hold it all together - you don't have to figure it out on your own.
