WHY SHOULD YOU BOOK IN WITH ME?
I am passionate about offering a safe space for you to prioritise and improve your health. I practice in a holistic, patient-centred, non-weight centric and inclusive approach to healthcare. I'm here to help you start feeling and moving better in an attainable and sustainable way!
My goal is to help you on your path to recovery through tailored treatment, encouraging health-promoting behaviours, patient education and open collaborative communication.
I have a particular interest in pregnancy, postpartum, pelvic and breast care due to the common narrative of pain being dismissed, poor postnatal standards of care and the duration of time it takes for conditions to be diagnosed.
My priority is creating a safe and equitable environment for positive outcomes and bridging gaps in healthcare.

WHAT IS AN OSTEOPATH?
An osteopath is an allied health practitioner who treat holistically, meaning we treat the entire person. We treat through the biopsychosocial model (biological, psychological and social elements of health) to address the whole person and are patient-centred in this approach. We treat all kinds of aches and pains using a mixture of hands-on techniques, exercise rehabilitation, referral where necessary, take-home management strategies and lifestyle advice.
Acknowledgment of Country
I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the unceded lands on which I conduct my business. I would like to acknowledge the Ngunnawal and Ngambri People. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging. I pay my respect to all First Nations People as the longest surviving culture and the original storytellers. This always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
