BHSc/BAppSc (Chiro)

After leaving school in Warwick, I moved to Melbourne and I finished my studies at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 2018. I have worked rurally and in metropolitan areas all over the country since graduating and I have done this as an associate and as a locum chiropractor, which has exposed me to different people, places and clinics over the last 7 years, which I am extremely grateful for. 

One of those clinics was Samford Chiropractic Centre, where I did a 2 month maternity leave cover for Dr Alice in 2025. I loved working here and the Samford community so much I decided to move here permanently in 2026! 

Having been adjusted by a Chiropractor since I was 12 years old I see the importance of people of all ages receiving gentle, safe and effective Chiropractic care. I have a special interest in any conditions from the neck up – headaches, TMJ (jaw) dysfunction, dizziness, facial pain just to name a few. I also love caring for our elders in the community as it brings me a lot of joy being able to help people in their later years be able to move and function as best as they can. I also love that they impart a lot of wisdom to me at the same time!

Over the years I have become an advanced certified SOT (Sacro Occipital Technique) practitioner, which means I look at your whole body from head to toe to get an understanding of how everything is connected through fascia, fluid and nervous system function. If you see me checking your arm length, putting blocks under your hips or touching your skull and face bones – this is the SOT approach. In addition to this I offer gentle manual adjustments to anyone that prefers a more manual approach to their care.

I look forward to meeting all of you and helping you along your health journeys!
