Likes
My main focus is hand and upper limb rehabilitation, particularly sports-based injuries, from acute injury through to return to play. I enjoy working with perimenopausal women to optimize health and wellbeing.

I am an avid gym junkie and always striving to hit a new PB. I love to get out into the hills and enjoy some of the stunning scenery the South Island has to offer with my family.
