The Osteopathic approach is patient centred care with manual therapy treatment and management for your musculoskeletal injuries, and concerns. In consultation with you, I like to work in a team environment to get the best outcomes.

As an Osteopathic generalist, I enjoy working with a variety of patient cohorts although have an interest in sporting injuries. With interview and application I am able to provide health services to individuals or teams who are on tour.

I have had the pleasure to serve the community of Canberra providing primary health Osteopathy services since 2001 as Canberra City Osteopathy and Physiotherapy on London and later as Canberra City Health Network. In a collaborative team approach we delivered more then 400,000 health services from Osteopaths, Physiotherapists, Massage Therapists, Myotherapists, Psychologists, Counsellors, Exercise Physiologists and Dieticians.

I have served both the profession, corporate health and the public. I was the National President of Osteopathy Australia from 2008-2010 which is the national peak body representing Osteopathy. I have developed and delivered health education modules for a variety of services using a multi disciplinary team approach. I have worked in health regulation in the ACT and on the National Board in protecting the public through policy development and standards review. I have served as a member of the accreditation board and onsite team chartered with maintaining standards domestically and with internationally trained Osteopathy applicants to Australia. I have taught and assessed students at TAFE and Universities, and served on reviewing of courses for validation at TAFE and steering committees for Universities. I currently work as a subject matter expert within Osteopathy and manual therapies.

Supporting and contributing to research wherever possible, I have co authored on the following papers:

Enhancing clinical education in the private practice setting: A case study in osteopathy

Minimising COVID-19 transmission risks: checklist for allied health practices and practitioners

I am dedicated to my patients to deliver the best possible evidence based Osteopathic and person centred care.
