Graduating with a Bachelor of Health Science in Physiotherapy from AUT, I left with a strong interest in working together with patients to achieve and maintain an active balance lifestyle. I have a sporting background, playing netball and tennis throughout school, and horse riding since a young age in both New Zealand and South Africa.
During my studies, I gained hands-on experience working with school sports teams, and supporting neurodivergent children. I am passionate about working together to achieve your goals by providing a combination of manual therapy and exercise-based interventions.
Through my own fitness passion of the gym and Pilates, I provide a broad range of interventions and modifications to continue your fitness journey through acute injuries.
I plan on expanding my knowledge this year by completing a dry needling course.
Outside of work, I enjoy travelling around New Zealand normally to go skiing or walking through nature.
