“I love helping people find a way to enjoy exercise and movement, especially the ones that think they will never like it at all! I wholeheartedly believe that Pilates and Clinical Exercise can benefit everyone wanting to improve their strength, mobility or their general wellbeing no matter what their age or fitness level.”

I have always been interested in discovering how the body moves and works which lead me to the pathway of physiotherapy. I completed my Masters of Physiotherapy at the University of Sydney in 2017 and have worked across private practise since graduating. 

After experiencing back and hip issues myself when I was younger, I started doing Pilates for rehabilitation. This led me to begin my Pilates training journey through APPI training in 2015. I have since completed my Certificate IV in Pilates at Breathe Education in 2019. I use Pilates as a core component of my treatment regime for the majority of my patients. 

I have a particular soft spot for hip and leg injuries. Whether it be sporting injuries, pregnancy-related pain, age related issues or general strength and function of the legs. I find it extremely rewarding watching people getting stronger and trusting their bodies to move in ways they may not have for a long time.

Away from work I love spending time hiking, in the Pilates studio or outdoors reading a good book.
