Jarvis was born on 31 October 1978. At the age of seven, she was diagnosed with bone cancer in her left femur and given an only 20 per cent chance of surviving. She survived the cancer through twelve months of chemotherapy and radiation therapy but a year later broke the same leg affected by cancer. This led to numerous operations and skin grafts and as a result she has severely limited movement on her left side. She operates a pony stud called Applewood in Donnybrook, Western Australia.
