I’m originally from South Africa and moved to the UK to explore new opportunities and continue growing as a Physiotherapist. Before starting my career in Physiotherapy, I competed at a national level in pole vaulting, which sparked my passion for sports rehabilitation and injury prevention.
With experience in both private and public healthcare settings, I’ve worked with a wide range of patients, from professional athletes to those recovering from chronic conditions. My expertise lies in assessing movement patterns and combining Physiotherapy with Pilates-based rehabilitation. I’ve completed certifications in Basi Mat Pilates, STOTT Reformer Pilates, Myofascial Activated Posture Movement, and VO2 Max workshops, all of which help me provide tailored treatment plans.
Beyond Physiotherapy, I offer Physio-led Pilates sessions that blend both disciplines to enhance mobility, strength, and overall function. My goal is to help my patients recover fully, prevent future injuries, and achieve their highest physical potential.
I have worked in private practice and with various sports teams, including Brackenfell Rugby Club, Paarl Gymnasium High School, Boland Pole Vaulting Academy, and national-level sevens and tag rugby players. I also enjoyed working at racing events such as the Cape Epic, the Cape Town Cycle Tour, the Two Oceans Marathon. I also gained valuable experience through government rural community service in South Africa, treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.
