Tired of feeling tired? You’re not alone! We’re lucky to have Jess, our dedicated Sleep Specialist, right here at Blooms the Chemist Springwood. With years of experience helping our community rest easier, Jess brings expert guidance on everything from CPAP support to sleep hygiene. Check out our quick Q&A below to get to know your local sleep specialist!

How long have you worked in Pharmacy/Sleep Apnoea for?

“I started working in pharmacy when I was 19 and studying at university. I worked here at Blooms as a Dispense Tech for 3 years while doing my Psychology Degree. Since coming back into pharmacy after having my first son in 2021. I have now been looking after the Sleep Apnoea service for 2.5-3 years.”

What inspired you to specialise in Sleep Apnoea?

“It piqued my interest when coming back into the pharmacy as something new to learn in healthcare. I like to be busy and stimulated and have a passion for health, so it was the perfect role to pursue.”

What is one thing you wish everyone knew about Sleep Apnoea?

“It is a serious condition that can have a big impact on your health, including your heart and brain health….and can really affect your day-to-day wellbeing and rob you from enjoying everyday life.
80% of people who are on blood pressure medication have underlying sleep apnoea and it affects 1 in 5 Australians, and that statistic is only for those who get tested. I have seen firsthand how therapy can have such a positive impact on someone’s life and so want more people to get tested and treated where possible.”

What is your favourite part about the job?

“Seeing someone’s excitement when they come in after their first week of therapy and it has worked for them and they feel amazing! It’s super rewarding being able to help get their health and lives back.”

How do you spend your free time outside of the pharmacy?

“Chasing after my little boys, spending time with family and friends. I love to run and get to the ocean when I can.”


Jess is available in store on Mondays 9-5 and Thursdays 9:30-3 to answer your questions about sleep hygiene, CPAP care, and overall rest. Stop by anytime or give us a call to book an appointment. We’re here to help you get a better night's rest!
