Dr Jenny Askwith
Bsc Chiro, B Chiro
Dr Jenny is the director of Fremantle Chiropractic and also a senior chiropractor.
I was born in Perth and spent my childhood growing up in the northern suburbs. Once I graduated from school I attended Murdoch University to complete my chiropractic degree. I received a few awards upon graduating, namely the Michelle Wallis Prize in Chiropractic Skills and Technique.
After graduating from Murdoch, I moved to take a job semi-rurally south of Perth where I had been working and living until recently where I have moved back to Perth to Fremantle Chiropractic.
I have completed a diploma in Chiropractic Pediatrics and am passionate about advocating care for all family members. I have also enjoyed attending frequent seminars and courses to allow me to diversify and harbour skill in a range of areas.
I believe in a balance of work and play. My passions include anything with my family and sons, exploring the outdoors, cooking and spending time with my loveable dog Humphrey.
Dr Stephanie Brindal
Bsc Chiro, B Chiro
Dr Steph has been a Chiropractor for over 10 years. She studied here at Murdoch University then moved to Sydney where she started her career, practicing on the Northern Beaches supporting the local families and the community for 7 years. She then moved back to Perth in 2019 to join Fremantle Chiropractic. Dr Steph is continuing to love being a part of the South Fremantle community and very much enjoying the lifestyle. Her passions include getting out and enjoying the outdoors, hanging out with her adorable pup Ralph and open water swimming.
Wanting to further expand her knowledge, Dr Steph has done extended education in nutrition, families, pregnancy and paediatrics. These courses have included Pregnancy Care, Total Body Modification Thompson Technique and has recently completed her Diplomate in Chiropractic Paediatrics (DACCP).
In addition to furthering her studies, she has had the privilege of voluntary work with the impoverished communities in Siliguri, India and Manila, Philippines doing health checks, education and providing care to those in the community.
Dr Steph loves seeing people at all their different stages of their lives, who always take a holistic approach to their health to improve their vitality.
Jasminka Zaneta
Practice Manager
Jasminka joined our Fremantle chiropractic family in 2020, after coming from a retail management position.
She wanted to use her customer service skills in an environment where she could make a positive change in a person’s life, through the healthcare industry.
Her favourite part about her job is getting to know people from all walks of life, and building connections with them. She loves talking to people so when you’re in practice don’t hesitate to start up a conversation (if she doesn’t beat you to the punch). Jasminka is very close to her family and partner Carmelo, and they enjoy spending time together around the dinner table or going for a good walk. When she’s not in the practice, Jasminka also spends time on her fashion label Zanetta, where she uses her creative talents to design and manufacture women’s clothing.
We Commonly call her Mink, so please feel free to use this nickname!
Dr Tess Hedley
Bsc Chiro, B Chiro
It is with great pleasure that we welcome Dr Tess to the Fremantle Chiropractic team!
Dr Tess will be caring for Dr Steph’s patients while she is on maternity leave, and we are so excited to have her as part of the practice.
Dr Tess completed a double degree at RMIT University in Melbourne and has since worked across a variety of chiropractic practices throughout Australia. Her travels have given her the opportunity to care for people from all walks of life and develop a broad range of techniques, allowing her to tailor her approach to each individual.
Dr Tess loves chiropractic and, most importantly, the opportunity it gives her to connect with people and support them throughout their health journey. She is passionate about continuing to learn and enjoys working with a wide range of people and adapting her approach to suit each individual.
Outside of the practice, you’ll often find Dr Tess outdoors and immersed in nature. She loves anything that gets her outside and exploring!
Fun fact: Dr Tess has been travelling around Australia in her camper trailer, working and adjusting at different chiropractic practices along the way. How cool is that?!
Lilianna Galipo
Chiropractic Assistant
As a South Fremantle local, Lili feels right at home at Fremantle Chiropractic and is so happy to be part of the team. Coming from a big Italian family, she has always enjoyed connecting with others, hearing their stories, and having a good chat. Getting to know everyone who comes through the practice is one of her favourite parts of the role.
Alongside her work at the practice, Lili is completing her postgraduate studies in psychology. She is drawn to how psychology brings together the brain, the body, and the world around us, and enjoys learning about the many factors that shape our health and wellbeing.
Outside of work and study, she loves reading, going for walks and spending time with her miniature schnauzer, George. Her love for dogs doesn’t stop at George, so if you bring a four-legged friend in, there’s a very good chance you’ll find her giving them a pat!
You’ll rarely catch her without a coffee, tea or matcha nearby, be sure to say hello the next time you’re in!
