I’ve proudly called Wānaka home for over 25 years. My family moved here while I was still at school, and it was here that my love for sport truly developed. I was fortunate to play rugby and represent Otago at age-grade level — experiences that shaped not only my appreciation for performance, but also my understanding of the demands placed on the body.
That passion led me to pursue a career in Sports Performance and Massage Therapy, driven by a desire to help people better understand their bodies and maximise their potential. After completing my studies, I began building my practice, working with many valued locals while continuing to refine my skills.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with elite athletes across a variety of sports as a provider for High Performance Sport New Zealand. Supporting high-performing athletes has strengthened my belief in a long-term, proactive approach — one that goes beyond symptom relief and focuses on movement quality, strength, and resilience.
Committed to continual professional development, I returned to study and in 2016 completed a Graduate Diploma in Applied Science, specialising in Physical Conditioning. In 2017, I became a certified Functional Movement Screen (FMS) practitioner, allowing me to take a more holistic approach — not just treating pain, but identifying weaknesses, improving movement patterns, and helping prevent injury recurrence. I’m passionate about coaching and enjoy working with developing athletes in our community. Guiding young athletes during their formative years provides them with a strong foundation for future success, both in sport and in life.
Outside of work, I’m always looking for new ways to move and challenge myself physically. Family remains at the centre of everything I do — when I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me spending time with my brothers and their young families, making the most of the incredible lifestyle Wānaka offers.
Staying grounded in what matters most allows me to bring energy, focus, and 100% commitment to every client I work with.
