Being treated by an Osteopath was my 'light bulb' moment.
My journey to becoming an osteopath has been an eventful one. My previous background was in finance and having played plenty of sports in my life, I've had various forms of physical therapy for injuries picked on the way. What appeals to me about Osteopathy are the fundamental principles that we are more than the sum of our parts and recognising that given the right environment, we have the capacity to for 'Health' - no matter what age.
What does that mean for you? It means that when you come into our treatment room, we examine all aspects of your life that has brought you to this point of injury. We look at things holistically and we work together in finding a resolution. That's what I love about being an Osteopath.
I studied at the College of Osteopaths, London, England, graduating in 2004. Since then I've worked here in Australia establishing Bayside Osteo in Sandgate in 2011. In that time, I have also built up solid working relationships with other Allied Health Professionals and GP's should the injury be outside of my scope as an Osteopath. Over the past 12 years I have undertaken ongoing study in Biodynamic Osteopathy in the Cranial Field, completing Phases 1-8, and the Treatment of Children (Phases 1-3).
By having a diverse range of osteopathic skills, it allows me to treat patients of all ages.

It is a privilege to work with and support individuals in their quest for better health and wellbeing.
I studied Osteopathy at RMIT Melbourne, after first hearing of osteopathy through my Grandma; the idea of learning to listen to the body sparked great interest in me.
I graduated from RMIT in 2007, and practiced in Brisbane for two years, and then moved to Ireland where I practiced in two clinics in Dublin. I returned to Brisbane in 2014, happily joining the lovely team at Bayside Osteo.
I gained invaluable experience in working with children and mothers in my time in Ireland, working alongside osteopaths with extensive clinical experience in these areas. Since graduation, I have also undertaken further study in visceral treatment, the biodynamic approach to cranial osteopathy (phase 1-2; and paediatric phase 1-2) and the treatment of newborns and children. I have a gentle approach to treatment, with a strong respect for the body, and appreciate the individual nature of each person.

I have been practicing psychology for over 10 years and care about my clients' wellbeing. I want the best for my clients and offer empathy and support, especially in times of suffering.
Through one-on-one counselling I provide adults time and space to reconnect with their inner resources. I work with adults to manage anxiety, reduce stress and over come symptoms of depression. I help clients find out what makes life worth living and assist in creating positive emotions and cultivating mindfulness. I feel compelled to support people and care about the people around me.
I have expertise in positive psychology and trauma.
