I have been part of the New Plymouth Physiotherapy team since 2009. I graduated from Otago University and spent my first year consolidating my skills at TDHB.
New Plymouth Physiotherapy has provided me with some exciting opportunities. I have been involved in hockey, netball, basketball and rugby high performance and elite teams.
I have been supported in gaining extra qualifications in acupuncture, Bradcliff Breathing technique and diagnostic ultrasound.
My passion is people and I enjoy seeing everyone thrive. New Plymouth Physiotherapy has allowed me to develop fantastic clinical reasoning skills treat wholistically and focus on manual therapy.
Outside of work I love having adventures with our family, spending time at the beach and keeping active.

Prior to moving to Taranaki in 2016, I was working in private practice in Balclutha, also covering the small rehabilitation hospital where I was involved in a falls prevention programme and Parkinson’s exercise class.
I have worked with rugby teams at club and provincial levels since 2011 in Dunedin, Christchurch, and Taranaki.
Qualifying as a Physio in 2014 at home in the UK, I spent 3 years working as a rotational Physiotherapist for the NHS alongside a role with a professional football academy.
My wife and I moved to New Zealand in 2017, initially basing ourselves around the coast where we stayed with friends. Work took us down to Wellington for a few years then in 2021 we decided to move back to New Plymouth because of the initial connection we made with Taranaki when we first arrived.
I have a special interest in the management of shoulder and lower limb injuries and have completed additional training in the management of complex shoulder conditions, manual therapy and dry needling.
Outside work I’ll usually be found getting stuck into projects at home and in the garden or walking/training our young golden retriever. I’m also a casual runner and play football socially for FC Western, where I also support the senior teams and under 17’s with Physiotherapy services.
After completing my physiotherapy degree in 2020, I worked in Auckland across several locations.
I spent 2 and half years working at the New Zealand Warriors within the development programmes and junior squads. I have also been lucky enough to be involved with multiple junior Kiwis campaigns over the years.
I have a particular interest in sporting injuries given my background. I have completed a range of sports based rehabilitation courses and strength and conditioning programmes. My approach to treatment is fairly simple, I strive to gain the best outcomes for my patients by tailoring
rehabilitation plans toward your goals and aspirations.
More recently I have spent some time working abroad in British Columbia, Canada exploring my passion for mountain biking and the great outdoors. Outside of work you will find me spending time with friends and family, surfing, skating or out riding my bike.
I graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy from Cardiff University, Wales, UK in 2022. Over the past three years, I worked as a rotational physiotherapist within the NHS in Wales. During this time, I gained extensive experience across various specialities including musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiorespiratory and orthopaedics.
Having honed my skills in the UK, I have recently relocated to New Plymouth to further my professional clinical development and immerse myself in the natural beauty of New Zealand.
I am a passionate physiotherapist and enjoy working with my clients to find solutions, treatments and an improved quality of life through Physiotherapy. I take a holistic approach to rehabilitation to ensure my clients are able to reach their functional goals.
Outside of work I enjoy spending time by the sea, running, swimming and also playing hockey! I am excited to be here and explore what New Zealand has to offer!
