Women's Health and Musculoskeletal Physio. Team Leader Bondi Junction. 

My story:

I grew up in Forbes in the central west of NSW and eventually made my way to Sydney where I completed my years 9-12 at boarding school. I spent my childhood working in our family supermarket, playing soccer, touch football and water skied most weekends. I was constantly surrounded by my big extended family, as we all lived next door to each other!

I actually never had much to do with Physio until I attended a nerdy science camp in year 11. Here I had the opportunity to observe and talk to a bunch of Physio’s, and I guess I thought that what they were doing was pretty cool!

I studied Physiotherapy at ACU in North Sydney and was a product of their first cohort of physiotherapists. We were fortunate enough to study a six-week women’s health course, which is what sparked my interest in this field.

What makes me different:

I am a relaxed and personable physio who really loves getting to know my patients!

I have worked in the past, as part of a team of specialists (with other physio’s, exercise physiologists, dietitians, massage therapists and personal trainers). I feel this has given me the skills and insight into what is truly required to take people from the early phases of treatment to their end performance goals.

Fun Fact:

I learn’t piano up until 8th grade, but my teacher had to carefully select the songs (and they were always the worst ones) that only had very small jumps in them – I have such small hands that I struggled to reach the keys!
