Dawn is a Sport Physiotherapist specialising in helping runners recover from injuries and improve form, strength, and endurance.
I am an accomplished ultra runner in both world class trail and road running events.
I have completed the Comrades ultra marathon — The Ultimate Human Race (90km), Ultra Trail Cape Town 100 miler and the Arc of Attrition 100 miler. With a personal best marathon of 3 hrs15 I understand what it takes both on the road and in the trails.
With a Masters in Sport Physiotherapy I have the expertise, drive and passion to help you get back to your best form in running, whether an on-going or new injury.
I am passionate about helping runners of all abilities push their boundaries and thrive. I have developed an extensive Running Assessment which holistically assesses the runner with the aim of improving form, ability, strength and endurance for running.
In addition to my love of running, I have also played field hockey at a competitive level and enjoy competing in the obstacle events.
