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.
My style of Osteopathy allows me to deliver Osteopathic care to a variety of patients from newborns to the elderly.
I have been providing osteopathic services in the Canberra community since 1998. After graduating from RMIT I worked as an associate with two experienced osteopaths in Deakin before starting my own clinic, Inner North Osteopathy from 2002—2010. Currently, I run my own clinic, InOsteopathy, on the Sapphire Coast and commute to Canberra monthly to provide osteopathic healthcare.
After being born and raised in Melbourne, I am proud to have been providing osteopathic services to the Canberra community since 2008. I enjoy treating patients from all walks of life, presenting with all types of musculoskeletal complaints. I have a special interest in treating back and neck pain, headaches, and vertigo (BPPV). I generally treat using a direct style of osteopathic treatment, however enjoy being able to adapt my style or choice of techniques to suit the patient and their presenting condition.
I have contributed to the healthcare community in Canberra for over 10-years, working with a multidisciplinary approach to patient management – regularly engaging with other allied healthcare clinicians and medical professionals to deliver a gold standard of patient-centered care.
My approach to osteopathy combines a deep understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathology, and biomechanics to support the body’s innate ability to heal and restore its balance.
This may include a combination of direct and indirect techniques — such as joint manipulation, myofascial release, dry needling, cupping, biodynamics, and rehab exercises. My aim is to always meet your body where it is at on the day, and work as a team in moving towards your fullest potential.
