My path to becoming a chiropractor started with personal experience—treatment in my late teens showed me its value, and my diverse athletic background deepened that appreciation. I played rugby for Manly for many years, then took on rodeo before competing as an international bobsleigh athlete in European Cup, Americas Cup, and World Cup events. That journey led me to the 2014 Winter Olympics with my team in Sochi. Though I didn’t compete there, my years in contact sports and elite competition gave me a clear view of the physical toll athletes endure—and the vital role of expert care in pushing through.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Anatomy and Physiology from Macquarie University and a Master’s Degree in Chiropractic, launching my career as a practitioner in 1999. I began as an Associate in Adelaide, Australia, then travelled to London to train under one of the world’s leading experts in Spinal Manipulation while also guest-lecturing at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic. Back in Australia, I established my own clinic, specialising in Gonstead Chiropractic—a method I’ve refined over more than two decades. I taught at Macquarie University for 12 years, training the next generation of chiropractors, and now share my expertise through seminars with the Gonstead Chiropractic Society several times a year.

As a Fellow of the Gonstead Chiropractic Society of Australia and one of the few practitioners globally to achieve the Gonstead Extremity Certification, I bring a wealth of experience to my work. My skills expanded further with a 2-year postgraduate study in Functional Neurology, offering me a deeper understanding of how the brain and body recover and perform. Since 1999, I’ve had the privilege of working with some of Australia’s top athletes—NRL stars, Wallabies, A-League soccer players, and Olympians—helping them manage injuries, enhance their game, and stay competitive.

From rugby fields to rodeo arenas and bobsleigh tracks to treatment rooms, I’ve spent over 25 years seeing what sports demand and what keeps athletes going. To anyone with a passion for sport—whether you’re just starting out, grinding through a season, or aiming for the top—your body deserves attention. I’ve worked with the best and learned that treatment isn’t just about recovery; it’s about staying ready for what’s next. Whatever your level, don’t let pain or wear hold you back—seek the care that keeps you in the game.
