JESSE DAVID | Integrative Physiotherapist | Conscious Living Coach
Jesse David
Integrative Physiotherapist, Conscious Living Mentor & Founder of Lionheart
Jesse has dedicated his life to helping health conscious people break free from pain, injury, and imbalances. He strives to be a beacon of truthful guidance and genuine expertise for those seeking an integrative nature-based approach to health and wellness challenges.
As a qualified physiotherapist with musculoskeletal and neurological rehabilitation expertise, Jesse specialises in helping people globally reconnect with their bodies’ innate healing intelligence. He is driven by a belief in the human body's natural capacity for resilience and transformation.
Earning a Bachelor of Health Science and a Master of Physiotherapy Practice at La Trobe University, he graduated with top honors, demonstrating his passion for knowledge. Over the past decade, he has applied himself to integrating Eastern and Western widsom, into his methods.
Jesse has furthered his training in advanced modalities including Active Release Techniques (ART), Functional Movement Systems (FMS), and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stability (DNS), learning from respected educators in the industry. These tools have enabled him to work with individuals from all walks of life to achieve greater harmony, alignment and vitality.
His approach was profoundly shaped by one of the most challenging experiences of his life: supporting his mother through a stage 4 cancer diagnosis. Watching her navigate that journey taught him the reality that health encompasses physical, mental, emotional, environmental and energetic factors. During this time, he began incorporating eastern teachings and philosophies from Yoga, Transcendental Meditation and Internal Martial Arts into his personal and professional practice. This enabled him to develop a deeper intuitive understanding of the body, looking beyond symptoms and addressing the root causes of pain and dysfunction.
Together with Molly Rose he developed, The Freedom Method™, a foundational health program providing a framework for pain free living.
