Jessie Ellis is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Fairfield, QLD, working from 61A Mearns Street, Fairfield QLD 4103.
Jessie helps people get back to the day-to-day things that matter, like getting dressed, washing, cooking, moving around the house, and doing everyday chores with more ease. Sometimes that means making small changes to routines. Other times, it’s about building new skills step by step so things feel more manageable again.
In many cases, therapy starts with an assessment of daily living activities. Jessie looks at how you currently do tasks, what’s getting in the way, and what support you might need. This can be especially useful after an injury, when health changes, or when daily tasks have become harder than they used to be.
From there, Jessie can create customised home exercise programs. These aren’t one-size-fits-all plans. They’re based on what you need in real life, and they aim to help you work on strength, movement, and comfort in a way that fits around your day.
At times, assistive devices can make a big difference too. Jessie provides recommendations for practical equipment that can help you stay independent and reduce strain. The focus is on choosing tools that suit your home setup and the way you move, not just what looks good on a shelf.
Work can also be part of the problem, especially if pain or movement limits what you can do. Jessie offers workplace ergonomic evaluations, which look at how tasks are set up and how your body is being used at work. The goal is to make changes that are realistic, safer, and easier to stick with.
Over time, people often feel more confident when they have a clear plan and simple strategies they can follow. Jessie’s approach stays grounded and practical, with support that matches your goals, your pace, and your everyday routine.
Training and learning matter in healthcare, and Jessie works within the occupational therapy approach to keep care focused on function and daily participation. If you’re dealing with changes to mobility, daily routines, or work demands, Jessie can help you work out the next best steps.
For most people, appointments are about taking the pressure off. You can talk through what feels difficult, and you’ll leave with a plan for what to work on next, whether that’s daily tasks, home exercises, helpful devices, or small workplace changes.
