I grew up in The Shire and currently live and work in Kirrawee. I have worked in Private Practice for the last 25 years and 22 years of those have been in Kirrawee.

Prior to Private Practice I had the privilege to work at The Spinal Unit (Prince Henry/POW), St George Hospital, Broken Hill Base Hospital and for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. These experiences shaped my early physiotherapy career providing me with the much-needed manual therapy, diagnostic, treatment and communication skills necessary to embark on a career in Private Practice.

I was a keen tennis player in my youth and then had the opportunity to undertake a college scholarship in Kansas USA. To this day, I follow the Kansas City Royals and the Kansas City Chiefs along with, Liverpool, the Swans, and the Sharks. My interests now include tennis, soccer, skiing/snowboarding, motorcycling, dogs, the theatre, travel, and I am a self-confessed Foodie.

In 2020 I was inducted into the Australian College of Physiotherapists which recognises my experience, qualifications and mark of professional distinction.  The College represents leaders in clinical practice, research, management and academia for which I am extremely proud to achieve.

As a physiotherapist I have been privileged to work for:

• Masters Games (2018)
• Commonwealth Games (2018)
• The Sydney Swans (2009/10)
• The Cronulla Sharks – Jersey Flegg, Matthew Cup (2001-03)
• Sutherland Shire Netball (2003-14)
• Pennant Hills Demons Footy Club (2010)
• Sutherland Shire Athletics
• Sydney Kings Basketball 2001

I am a recent member of the physiotherapy team. I graduated from the University of Wollongong with a Bachelor of Exercise Science in 2018. I then completed my Masters of Physiotherapy at the University of Sydney in 2020. I have gained experience in both public and private settings in Mudgee and Bathurst before returning to the Shire to be closer to family and the beach. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and snowboarding.

I commenced working as a receptionist Mi Fizzio in May 2021. Having been a client of Mi FiZZiO for many years, I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time when they needed the position filled. I had retired from a 36-year career in the public service and was looking for something completely different. I’ve always had an interest in all things medical (it was probably in the genes as my mum was a nurse) and love working and helping people. I certainly hit the jackpot when I was given this job. Martine is not only an excellent boss, but an extremely gifted and talented physiotherapist. In fact, all the staff at Mi Fizzio are skilled, great to work with and go above and beyond to support our clients.

I live only five minutes away in Kirrawee with my husband. With two daughters out and about in the world, we are now empty nesters! I enjoy the simple pleasures of reading and baking when I have the time. Those who know me know that I am quite involved in Miranda Musical Theatre Company, previously on the stage, but now much more behind the scenes. Look out for our pamphlets advertising upcoming productions!
