I chose physiotherapy because I was fascinated by the human body from a young age. We all have one, and I loved the idea of understanding it deeply; not just to treat injuries, but to connect with people and help them feel more capable in their own lives.

What lights me up clinically is working with people who are ready for change — whether they’re tired of recurring pain or starting again from square one and need a steady guide. I take an educational approach to care, helping you understand what’s happening, what to expect, and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I love questions, exploring ideas together, and making sure you feel clear and confident in the process.

I’m a bit nerdy about circadian rhythms, stress physiology, and how life capacity impacts injury and recovery. I care about the whole picture, and when needed, I love collaborating with other healthcare professionals to support your journey.

Outside the clinic, you’ll find me trail running, climbing, lifting heavy things (hello, CrossFit), or adventuring with my dog, Hans. I’m always up for a new challenge.

Shoulder pain: Rotator cuff injuries, impingement, instability, and persistent stiffness to restore strength, mobility, and confidence.
Running Injuries: Treatment and load management strategies for common running-related injuries, with a focus on improving tissue capacity and preventing recurrence.
Post surgery rehab: Structured, progressive rehabilitation following orthopedic surgeries to restore range of motion, strength, and functional independence.
Knee and hip osteoarthritis: Evidence-informed exercise and education to reduce pain, improve joint function, and support long-term activity.
Persistent tendon injuries: Progressive loading programs to reduce irritation, rebuild tendon resilience, and minimize flare-ups.
