Senior Physiotherapist
Reformer Pilates Instructor
Education History: I completed my Masters in Physiotherapy Studies in 2009 from the University of Queensland, following a Bachelor’s degree in Human Movements from the University of Ottawa in Canada. I have had many years of experience as a physio patient myself, due to the unfortunate combination of being clumsy and playing lots of different sports while growing up.
Areas of physio: I have worked in a variety of settings, both in Australia and the UK, and have experience in both medical and surgical hospital wards, as well as private clinics. I have special interest in chronic pain, women’s health and craniosacral therapy, which I find can be extremely helpful especially for those with long term pain, headaches/migraines, jaw pain or who have “tried everything” without success.
I believe it is important that my patients have an understanding of their problem or condition, the causes, and is passionate about ensuring a comprehensive and realistic approach to treatment, which allows my patients to actively participate in their own health.
