You’ll find me in my spare time: Going for a walk at the beach or out for a coffee with friends.

My philosophy on Physiotherapy: I believe the role of the Physiotherapist is to help everyday people optimise their health and in doing so improve their quality of life. I am passionate about educating people about their bodies and enabling them to achieve their goals. I believe in empowering individuals with knowledge regarding their medical conditions and treatment options so that they can take control over their health and make decisions that are right for them at the time.

Favourite place on the Sunshine Coast: Noosa National Park.
