Team Profile

I grew up in Brisbane where I was a very active teenager, playing soccer and rowing competitively. This inevitably ignited my passion for physiotherapy (many hours were spent as a physio patient). During university, I worked as a rowing and soccer coach and a boarding school supervisor. Helping children to achieve their goals is what led to my interest in paediatrics.

I have worked in teams involving multiple practioners across different discplines and this has expanded my understanding of how cotreatment can maximise clients’ potentials. This is something I continue to try to embody by liaising with the members of my client’s therapy team.

When I am not at work you can find me reading, running and baking!

My role in The Hills Physio family

I love working with a diverse range of children, it keeps me on my toes! I am experienced in working with children who have torticollis, flat head syndrome, developmental dysplasia of the hip, lower limb alignment concerns, idiopathic toe walking, gross motor delays, incontinence, genetic and neurological conditions.

You can find me at The Hills Physio Tuesday to Friday and every second Saturday. Tuesday afternoons I am in the pool providing paediatric aquatic physiotherapy (aka hydrotherapy).

On Saturdays I run Ninja Kids and Strong Kids group classes.
