High-Performance Care from Someone Who’s Lived It.
“I spent my career on the pitch representing New Zealand at the Beijing Olympics and playing professionally in the A-League. I know exactly what it feels like to have your season—and your livelihood—on the line due to an injury. Now, as a qualified Physiotherapist (BHSc), I combine that high-stakes athletic experience with clinical expertise. I don’t just treat your symptoms; I understand the physical and mental demands of returning to play. Whether you’re an elite athlete or a weekend warrior, my goal is to get you back to peak performance using the same precision and dedication required on the international stage.”
