About Me


01
Education & Professional Experience
I practiced for eight years in a family and sports-based chiropractic clinic in South Africa. During this time, I provided care to a wide range of patients, including infants, pregnant families and athletes.
I then relocated to Vancouver, Canada, where I continued my career, offering chiropractic services from young to old. I have recently moved to Cairns to join my extended family.

02
Professional Interests and Approach
My professional interests are centered on paediatric and perinatal chiropractic, sports injury and rehabilitation, as well as lifestyle-based wellness care.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with families, athletes, and children of all ages. My practice combines hands-on evidence based chiropractic techniques with patient education and ongoing support, ensuring a comprehensive approach to care.
I am committed to conducting thorough assessments and providing accurate diagnoses, followed by tailored treatment plans. I understand that each person is unique, so I do not apply a one-size-fits-all approach.
My goal is to deliver personalised, honest, and patient-centered care, where you and your family are always valued as individuals, never just another number.

03
Philosophy & Commitment
My mission is to empower you to discover and address the underlying causes of your health concerns, enhance your body’s function, and improve your adaptability to stress.

My Services
Personalized chiropractic care for every stage of life.

Sports Chiropractic Care

I offer targeted treatments for sports injuries, including myofascial dry needling, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), cupping therapy, trigger point therapy, and exercise prescription to support recovery. My experience includes working with athletes from various backgrounds, such as triathletes, marathon runners, and dancers.


Perinatal Chiropractic Care

I am trained and certified in the Webster technique, which is designed to optimize pelvic alignment. Many pregnant families seek my expertise in this technique before, during, and after pregnancy. Chiropractic care can also assist with complaints such as back and neck pain during pregnancy.


Paediatric Chiropractic Care

I have a particular interest in paediatric chiropractic care. I support families with concerns such as colic, reflux, excessive gas, abnormal head shape, fussiness and delayed milestones. I also utilise gentle cranial techniques to help babies and infants with tethered oral tissues (tongue and lip tie) and I assist with body work around tongue tie release procedures. In some cases, early assessment and conservative care may help improve function and reduce the need for tongue-tie surgical intervention. Gentle chiropractic care before and after a tongue-tie release procedure (frenotomy) can help support comfort, movement and recovery.
