I was in my late twenties when I injured my shoulder playing sport. As a last resort, I reluctantly visited a chiropractor. The changes I experienced were great and I was back onto the sports field in no time. I became fascinated with the spine and its involvement in healing the body. So, after many chats with my chiro, I decided to go back to university and become one myself.
With 25+ years behind me, I am passionate about helping my clients improve their wellness. Many of them have seen changes in their lives thanks to the work at my previous clinic. Whether its posture, headache reduction, eye-strain relief or something a little more serious, I’m here to help.
