I graduated from AUT in 2024 as a physiotherapist, with a passion for patient-centred and evidence-based care. With a background as a classical ballet and contemporary dancer, I have a deep appreciation for movement, control, and the demands of high-level performance. This has shaped my approach to physiotherapy – combining precision, empathy, and tailored rehabilitation strategies to help people move confidently and get back to their passion.
I enjoy working with a wide range of people, from those recovering from an injury to those aiming to improve strength, mobility, and overall wellbeing. Outside the clinic, I love staying active – whether it's going to the gym, heading to the beach for a swim, or snowboarding during winter. I'm passionate about creating a supportive and inclusive space where each person feels heard and empowered in their journey toward better movement and health. View details »
