Our Team
Jas Ludlow
Lead Clinical Exercise Physiologist & Clinic Director
Jas discovered the power of exercise firsthand while navigating her own complex chronic health conditions and persistent pain. After years of unsuccessful treatments, she decided to take her health into her own hands – completing a Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science at Deakin University and a Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology at Charles Sturt University, earning multiple Executive Dean’s Awards along the way.
Frustrated by her own poor experiences with healthcare, Jas set out to do things differently: care that’s evidence-based, empathetic and most importantly tailored to the real person – not just their diagnosis.
The combination of lived experience and clinical expertise give Jas a deep understanding of the physical, social, emotional, and psychological impacts of injury and illness. This insight shapes her approach to rehabilitation – ensuring every program considers the demands of her clients’ sports, work, and lifestyle. Her hands-on work with people managing chronic illnesses and complex injuries has helped countless clients regain independence, confidence and quality of life.
In 2022, Jas founded Revitalise Health & Rehab to put an end to the all-too-common poor experiences people have with healthcare. The clinic was built on the belief that everyone deserves to be heard – without judgement – and to receive care that genuinely supports their goals, no matter how complex their health challenges may be. Through this vision, Jas continues to create a safe, empowering space where clients can feel seen, supported and revitalised.
Julia Pazkowski
Senior Dietician & Nutritionist
Julia joins the Revitalise team with over a decade of experience as a Dietitian and Registered Nutritionist, and a reputation for achieving real, lasting results with complex health conditions and chronic disease.
Her passion for nutrition began as a teenager, after developing food intolerances of her own. Later, navigating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Dysautonomia gave her a holistic, compassionate approach that combines evidence-based care with genuine lived understanding.
Known for her no-nonsense, practical style, Julia works closely with clients to deliver individualised evidence-based nutrition plans that are effective, sustainable, and grounded in real life – not just the textbook.
Outside the clinic, Julia is also a professional national model and a busy mum to two teenage children – proof that science and style go hand in hand.
If you’re navigating a rare or complex condition, Julia is the clinician you want in your corner.
Chelsey Johnson
Occupational Therapist
Chelsey completed a Bachelor of Applied Science/Master of Occupational Therapy at La Trobe University, and has spent the past 6 years immersed in the disability and NDIS space, working with paediatric and adult clients across community services and private practice.
At the heart of it, Chelsey is all about helping people get back to doing the things they need, want, and love – building independence, confidence, and a better quality of life in ways that actually fit them as individuals, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
She also brings something you can’t learn in a textbook: her own experience navigating complex health conditions, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Dysautonomia. It’s given her a grounded, genuinely understanding approach, and a real passion for care that meets people exactly where they’re at.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find Chelsey at home with her dogs Yoshi and Yuna, deep in a game, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying a quiet night in.
Ned Mazzochi
Physio
Meet Ned, our physio who’s just as dedicated to studying as he is to helping his clients move and feel better. He completed his Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) at Monash University and is now taking things a step further – currently studying a Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine at Monash’s Churchill campus.
Ned has a strong interest in sports injuries and rehabilitation, as well as neurological rehab, and lights up when he gets to help clients back to doing what they love most.
Outside the clinic (and away from the textbooks), Ned is all about sport. He’s a loyal – if occasionally long-suffering – Carlton supporter, and follows cricket, tennis, and swimming just as closely. When he’s not watching sport, he’s probably in the gym or the pool himself, with a serious soft spot for weightlifting and powerlifting.
Josh Anderson
Exercise Physiologist
Josh is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP), Accredited Exercise Scientist (AES) and Exercise & Sports Science Australia Member.
With both a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise & Sport Science and a Master’s degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology, Josh brings years of experience helping people move better, feel stronger, and live healthier lives. He’s worked with everyone from athletes chasing performance goals to locals managing chronic pain, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
Josh brings a calm, focused, and steady approach to everything he does, helping clients feel supported and confident while working toward their goals.
When he’s not in the clinic, you’ll find him in the gym, on the soccer field, or relaxing with family and friends.
Rachel McDonald
Exercise Physiologist
Rachel is an Exercise Physiologist who brings strong clinical experience, genuine warmth, and a smile that puts people at ease from the moment they meet her. She built much of her clinical experience at Sale Hospital, where she was exposed to a broad range of conditions and worked as part of a large multidisciplinary team – experience that’s given her a well-rounded, practical approach to client care.
Rachel has a real passion for working with kids, and she approaches every new challenge with the same steady enthusiasm, never fazed by complexity. Her sense of humour is another thing clients love about her – she has a way of making appointments feel easy and personal, rather than clinical.
Outside the clinic, Rachel is heavily involved in netball, both playing and coaching, and brings that same team spirit into her work. The rest of her time is spent with her husband and dog, and she places real value on keeping life balanced and grounded.
Izzy Stanley
Clinic Manager
With over seven years as a Personal Trainer, Izzy brings a wealth of knowledge in movement, motivation, and helping people feel confident in their bodies. Holding a Certificate III & IV in Personal Training and a Business Degree from Griffith University, she combines brains, energy, and heart in everything she does – known for her infectious enthusiasm and her ability to make everyone feel seen, heard, and supported.
As our Clinic Manager, Izzy is also the steady force behind the scenes, keeping the team supported and the clinic running like a well-oiled machine – problem-solving on the fly, fine-tuning processes, and boosting morale along the way. Quick-thinking and full of energy, you’ll probably hear her before you see her, thanks to a voice that carries through every corner of the clinic.
And when she’s not at work? She’s perfecting her extremely specific coffee order (one pump of caramel and a sprinkle of fairy dust, thank you very much) – all part of what makes Izzy, well, Izzy.
Chelsey Sadler
Allied Health Assistant & Third Year Bachelor of Exercise & Sports Science Student
Chelsey is a valued member of our team, working as an Allied Health Assistant while completing her third year of a Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science, with a Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology on the horizon. It’s a foundation that already shows in her work with clients.
She works closely alongside our Allied Health Clinicians, supporting our Allied Health Assistance clients with care and professionalism. Behind the scenes, she’s always willing to lend a hand and her reliability and warm nature make her a real asset to the team culture.
Outside the clinic, you’ll likely find Chelsey at Gormandale FNC, playing A Grade netball or coaching the youth teams – bringing that same focus, teamwork and steady energy she’s known for inside our walls.
Karae Christensen
Admin & Clinic Superstar
Karae is part of our front of house admin team and is one of those people who instantly makes the clinic feel calmer the moment she walks in. Her kind and gentle nature helps create a sense of ease and reassurance for both clients and the team throughout the day.
She supports the smooth running of the clinic behind the scenes, helping with appointments, enquiries and day-to-day admin tasks. Her thoughtful and steady approach means things are always handled with care and attention.
Karae is known for her kindness, warmth and ability to bring a sense of calm to even the busiest days, making her a much-loved part of the team and clinic environment.
Alison Heffernan
Admin & Clinic Superstar
Alison is one of the friendly faces of our front of house team, helping keep the clinic running smoothly day to day. She plays a key role in making sure everything flows well behind the scenes, supporting both clients and clinicians so the clinic operates at its best.
Her calm and efficient approach means things are always in good hands, and the team can rely on her to keep everything on track.
Outside of work, Alison is currently studying a Double Degree Bachelor of Law and Arts. She brings that same focus, drive, and sharp thinking into the clinic every day. She’s a true go-getter who balances work and study with impressive dedication.
She also keeps the clinic atmosphere light, with a great sense of humour and quick wit that regularly has the team laughing – even on the busiest days.
Mia Stevens
Admin & Clinic Superstar
Mia is one of our friendly front of house faces, holding a Bachelor of Science and currently working towards a Master of Speech Pathology – bringing a strong academic foundation and a growing passion for helping people through communication in allied health.
With experience in reception at another allied health clinic under her belt, Mia already understands the flow of clinic life, what clients need, and how much it matters to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes – so she’s able to hit the ground running.
Outside of work, Mia is full of energy and movement: a regular at the gym, a keen runner and a horse rider too.
Luna
Canine Assisted Exercise Physiology Assistant
Luna is a 2 year old Kelpie x German Shorthaired Pointer who is training to provide Canine-Assisted Exercise Physiology sessions alongside her owner, Jas. Together, they help clients achieve better outcomes – whether it’s improving balance, supporting children to overcome fear of uneven surfaces, or offering comfort and motivation to those managing anxiety and chronic conditions.
Luna has already proven herself to be both resilient and inspiring. Just two weeks after Jas and her better half rescued Luna, she suffered a severe injury, breaking both her tibia and fibula at only 15 weeks old. She underwent extensive, complex surgery and has been rehabbing her leg ever since – with a little help (and a lot of love) from Jas. Her experience gives her a special kind of empathy for anyone going through their own rehabilitation journey.
Full of energy and heart, Luna is the clinic’s little ray of sunshine. She loves pats, adores cuddles even more, and her favourite cue is “middle” – that’s her signal to snuggle right into your chest for a proper hug.
Because she’s still young, Luna currently works reduced hours while she continues her training. Even so, she’s already become an irreplaceable part of the Revitalise Health & Rehab team, helping create the relaxed, comforting and joyful environment we pride ourselves on.
We’re always on the lookout for great clinicians (and even better humans) to join our team. No matter your allied health profession or area of expertise, if you’re passionate about helping clients achieve outstanding results and want to be part of a clinic that puts its clinicians first, we’d love to hear from you.
At Revitalise Health & Rehab, we’re an one-of-a-kind multidisciplinary team with a strong focus on learning, collaboration, and professional growth.
