I discovered osteopathy as a new mum when I injured myself taking a pushchair out of my car. My stiff and painful neck made it difficult for me to lift and manage my young baby. Following a friend’s recommendation, I sought help from an osteopath and I left the treatment with a neck that moved again, mostly pain-free!
This experience of osteopathy, and a fascination with how the body functions and is able to heal, created the impetus for me to study osteopathy so that I could help others regain and maintain wellness as I once had.
I enjoy the variety of treating all ages, from heads to toes. I aim to help people achieve health goals that are meaningful to them: be it being able to bend forward to put your shoes on again after a back injury, or giving your best performance on the sports field. I have a particular interest in complex, long-standing issues. Helping people move from pain towards a more comfortable, healthier version of themselves is what makes my work so rewarding. I love what I do!
I graduated from Unitec with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Human Biology) degree, followed by a Masters in Osteopathy, achieved with honours. I have additionally completed post-graduate training with the Sutherland Cranial Teaching Foundation, both here in New Zealand and Australia. I trained and worked as a yoga instructor for a number of years prior to studying osteopathy and draw on this experience to offer clients self-management tools to support treatment gains.
My partner and I have two adult daughters. I enjoy travelling and sunny days will find me in the garden.

I am a New Zealand trained osteopath with 20 years’ experience working in the Ellerslie area at Ellerslie Osteopaths before its closure. I am committed to giving you long-term relief from symptoms and enabling your body to perform at the best possible level in your daily activities. I use various treatment techniques including manipulation, mobilisation, massage and cranial osteopathy.
Back and neck care make up a large proportion of my adult patients’ complaints but I am passionate about treating babies and children to provide them with the best possible start in life. Problems may range from neck tightness leading to head shape irregularities, colic and feeding difficulties, to repetitive infections and sleeping problems. Parents often bring their babies in for a check-up for peace of mind.
I previously enjoyed participating in a wide range of sports including swimming, tennis, table tennis, athletics and represented New Zealand in under 20’s soccer. I currently play volleyball and have two active daughters who play netball, soccer, volleyball and swim
