Fun facts
Why did you become a physio?
I genuinely love fixing people. There's nothing better than watching someone walk out of the clinic feeling better than when they walked in.
If not a physio?
A lawyer. I love helping people navigate tough situations and fighting in their corner.
Find you on a Sunday?
At the playground, running behind the kids on the slides. Totally their idea. Definitely not mine.
