I grew up in Blenheim and studied physiotherapy at the University of Otago, graduating in 2024. I worked in a physiotherapy clinic on the West Coast last year before moving to Nelson. I enjoy tramping and playing hockey in my spare time.
I haven't found a particular niche yet and enjoy working with a wide variety of different people, focussing on a combination of physical activity and manual treatment to help with recovery. View details »
