Scoliosis has been a part of my life since the age of 12 - I was a regular teen but with an irregular spinal curve. My scoliosis progressively increased throughout my teenage years and resulted in extensive back surgery in 2013 to fuse and straighten my spine.
 

Back then, there were limited conservative treatment options for scoliosis. The experience was tough, but it ignited a passion in me. I was determined to change things, inspire young teens navigating similar journeys, and change the way scoliosis is managed in Australia. So, I took a leap of faith and and embarked in a path to become a physiotherapist. 
 

In 2017, I completed my first Schroth certification in Spain and then spent time living and working in Vancouver as part of the founding ScoliClinic team. In 2019, my dream became a reality. I opened QLD Scoliosis Clinic (formerly known as The Scoliosis Collective) - a space dedicated to spinal physiotherapy, scoliosis, and postural health. My vision is to create a place where anyone dealing with scoliosis can find all the support they need under one roof, from physio to bracing, even psychological services. After all, scoliosis isn't just a physical journey, it's an emotional one too.

Outside of the clinic, you’ll usually find me walking my labradoodle Louie, creating new recipes, working out at the gym or perfecting my coffee making skills.
