My Story

I've been a Physiotherapist for 23 years now and I love it.  I'm very proud to be part of this wonderful therapeutic approach that helps so many people all around the world.  It hasn't always been smooth sailing for me however.  As with all great learning journeys I've had my share of ups and downs in this ongoing quest to understand the complexities of the human condition.

 Early on in my career, I thought I was doing a good job at treating my patients, but I would often see the same people with similar problems come back again months or years later. Something was missing.

It wasn't until I suffered a serious ankle tendon injury myself that I realised I needed to rethink my approach. My injury taught me that treating symptoms in isolation wasn't enough—to achieve lasting recovery, I had to look at the body as a whole.

I spent years studying different approaches to physical health and applying what I had learned from my background in kung fu. Along the way, I realized that almost every movement we make relies on multiple parts of the body working together. When something isn’t moving well, other areas are forced to compensate—sometimes in ways that cause more harm than good. That’s exactly what happened with my own injury. Because certain parts of my body weren’t moving properly, my tendon had to absorb extra strain with every step. Over time, that constant stress built up until it finally gave out.

This experience taught me that unless I worked on the other areas of my body, I would never fully recover from my ankle injury and would remain at risk of further problems. From then on, I never treated people's injuries or problems in isolation. I always look at their whole body and how they do things to see how it affects the part that's sore.

And that’s what brought us here. The more people understand how their body works and how to move well in everyday life, the fewer pain problems we’d see—I’m sure of it. While it won’t fix everything for everyone, it can make a real difference. So now, I’m sharing what I’ve learned and inviting you to be part of the journey. Whether you’re here to recover, get stronger, or simply move better, let’s create the next chapter together.

Qualifications and Experience

I’m a registered physiotherapist with over 20 years of experience helping people move better and recover from injuries. My background spans private practice, sports physiotherapy, and rehabilitation in New Zealand, Australia, and even Bermuda.

I hold a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Otago University, 2002) and a Postgraduate Diploma in Manipulative Physiotherapy (2010), where I was awarded the Mark Steptoe Memorial Prize for top performance.

Beyond formal education, I’ve continued to sharpen my skills with advanced training in sports physiotherapy, dry needling, kinesiology taping, McKenzie therapy, kinetic link training, and integrative acupuncture. I’ve worked with elite athletes, representative sports teams, and everyday people looking to move comfortably again.

Over the years, I’ve sought out the best methods to understand movement, pain, and recovery—learning from top experts in physiotherapy, sports performance, and rehabilitation. Every course, every hands-on experience, and every patient I’ve worked with has sharpened my ability to not just treat injuries, but to connect the dots—seeing the bigger picture behind movement problems and finding solutions that truly last.

Whether you're an athlete pushing for peak performance, a weekend warrior getting back in the game, or just want to move comfortably again, my approach is straightforward—identify what’s holding you back, address it with the right treatment, and give you a plan that works for your lifestyle.
