About me
I am a passionate allied health professional dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of my patients.
I hold a Bachelor of Biomedical and Anatomical Science and a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Hons) from the University of Queensland. My experience lecturing in Anatomical Science and extensive time in cadaver labs laid a strong foundation for my clinical reasoning in physiotherapy. In 2008, Glenn and I moved to Central Queensland with a two-year plan to gain valuable clinical experience and help those in need of health services, and we’ve never wanted to leave!
Early in my career, I worked in a hospital setting, but I quickly discovered my passion for clinical private practice. The diversity and complexity of cases, along with the ability to make long-term, significant changes in patients’ lives, continue to drive my daily clinical practice. I’ve worked in various settings, from aged care to mining sites, and with a wide range of patients, from those with significant disabilities to national and international athletes. My patients have been my best educators, constantly driving me to ask “Why?” and pursue further training in areas of interest.
I have completed advanced training in Women’s and Pelvic Health, Cancer Rehabilitation, Chronic Pain Management, Paediatrics, TMJ Dysfunction, Clinical Pilates, and Acupuncture and Western Dry Needling.
As Principal Physiotherapist at Vector Health and Performance, I collaborate closely with our incredible team of intelligent, motivated, and caring clinicians and team members. Together, we strive to deliver our mission of providing exceptional care and fostering transformations in self-belief and physical capacity within the Central Queensland community.
One of the best feelings is ending each day knowing that my team and I have helped someone feel even just a little bit better than when they first walked through our clinic doors.
Outside of work, I am a proud mother of two beautiful, caring, and energetic young people and two fur kids. As a family, we enjoy playing sports, being outdoors, bike riding, hiking, swimming, and fishing. During those rare quiet times, I love to curl up with a good coffee and a great book!
