About Me
​
I have worked as a paediatric Physiotherapist for 35 years and have extensive experience across a broad range of disabilities. My career has been devoted to promoting the physical development of babies, infants, children and teens.
I have practiced in various settings including schools, clinics and homes. I am most passionate about helping to enhance a child’s development while supporting the health and wellbeing of the family unit. I can provide advice, strategies and hands on interventions tailored to each individual child and their family.
I have an extensive knowledge of available special needs equipment and thrive on prescribing appropriate mobility aids for my clients.
Postural Care is a topic I feel very strongly about. Being an accredited assessor of the Goldsmith Indices of Body Symmetry I can provide advice on 24 hour positioning to assist with the prevention of detrimental changes in body shape and design sleep systems to facilitate change of a person’s distorted body shape.
​
I recently stumbled upon ANF (Amino Neurofrequency) therapy and have now completed the first level of this training. With detailed palpation a therapist trained in ANF is able to feel inflammation in the tissue and will apply the wearable discs accordingly. Using this therapy I am able to assist clients with musculoskeltal issues; chronic or acute. I look forward to exploring the use of ANF therapy in the paediatric space.
