Why physiotherapy?
The love for what I do comes from years of seeing patients getting amazing results. Correcting my patient’s injuries to prevent the surgery pathway is my greatest joy. Surgery should be a last resort, and should only be considered after exploring all treatment options. The body is an amazing structure that has the ability to heal if loading and aligned correctly. Results can be amazing and I sometimes am referred to as “ a magician” or “an angel” which gives me the greatest job satisfaction and is the reason I’m still working actively after 12 years of practising.
I grew up playing all sports and eventually played professional netball and became Sports Captain in High School. My life was sports and I saw so many professional athletes ruin their career from injuries. My goal is to provide the most-advanced physiotherapy treatment for patients, always.
My method is unique! Through analysis of the body, its biomechanics and physical preparation, the athlete can feel prepared for an injury-free season. And if the athlete requires to be treated from an injury, I design programs to give them a speedy and safe return to sports with no career-ending injuries.

One of the greatest feelings as a physiotherapist is the satisfaction of when you make a change for the better in someone else’s life. Whether it’s through pain levels, lifestyle behaviours or just general health and fitness, there is no greater sense of achievement when people recognise and thank you for what you did for them.
Everyone has a goal no matter how big or small. I believe movement is medicine and I enjoy seeing my clients become empowered physically and mentally as they move through their recovery and strengthening.
Growing up, I was always curious about the human body, and it was a fascinating subject for me, especially the way muscles work biomechanically. The feeling of helping people to get back to work or playing their favourite weekend sport is fantastic. As a soccer player myself, after years of playing, I learned how important it is to maintain fitness and a healthy lifestyle. That’s why I chose to become a massage therapist.
Throughout my sporting career, I underwent numerous injuries, which required physiotherapy treatment. I was frequently exposed to the physiotherapy environment from a young age, further developing my passion in this field. The most appealing aspect to me was the understanding relationship between physical activity and how the body functions as a whole to create the desired outcome when treating patients.
