When I was about 25 years old I was having trouble getting out of bed in the morning due to the debilitating pain that I was experiencing regularly in my lower back. I would slide out of bed and crawl across the floor to get into the shower each day. Interestingly, it took me a little while to realise that I probably shouldn't have to put up with this kind of inconvenience.

With a little convincing from a friend, I reluctantly decided to book in with a massage therapist, not really knowing what to expect. After a single session they got me to the point where I could happily move without pain and continue to manage the injury myself.

At that time, I never considered that I'd soon be in the same line of work.

Following the treatment, I started taking yoga classes at Younga Yoga Studio in Wollongong. I enjoyed the practice and loved the place so much that after a couple of years, I undertook a month of intensive study and became an instructor there.

Although I enjoyed teaching yoga classes, I found myself wanting to know more about anatomy and physiology so I could help people more directly with their own unique injuries and inefficiencies.

Remedial massage was the next logical step in my professional education: a widely applicable and highly practical physical therapy, proven over thousands of years of application, with zero side effects and immeasurable benefits.

After completing my Diploma of Remedial Massage Therapy and working in a professional clinic in Melbourne, I decided to return to my favourite part of the world: the south coast of NSW.

Here I aim to assist people of all ages, backgrounds and ability levels, to get the most out of their bodies, for as long as they possibly can. Because I believe that we all deserve the right to freedom of movement, and that growing older doesn't have to mean growing stiff, sore or fragile.

I've never been happier to get to work.
