MORE ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Johannesburg, in Gauteng. I then moved to the Western Cape in 2020 to study Physiotherapy at the University of Stellenbosch. During my university career I was lucky enough to spend 10 weeks working in the Cardiothoracic ICU at Tygerberg Hospital. This sparked my passion for working in the ICU.

After graduating in 2023, I went on to complete my community service year at Livingstone Tertiary Hospital in Port Elizabeth, in the Eastern Cape. A year that I will always carry with me and be grateful for. During this time I treated a multitude of conditions including various ICU conditions, poly-trauma, spinal cord injuries, pulmonary, neurological and orthopaedic conditions, as well as sport and musculoskeletal injuries. This year taught me exceptional clinical reasoning skills. I had to work with the very few resources available and be creative in my rehabilitation approach.

I am qualified in both level 1 and 2 of dry needling and I’m very enthusiastic about the benefits of this technique. This includes the entirety of the upper and lower limbs, the back, chest and neck, as well as the face in cases of TMJ disorders and headaches.

I have a qualification in Pilates (Matwork level 1), which I obtained through the APPI (Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute). I am passionate about the effect of incorporating Pilates into rehabilitation.

I am an introverted extrovert. I love spending my free time with friends and family. I love the outdoors, especially the ocean and try and spend my off time exploring new places. I am a very active person and enjoy swimming, pilates & weight lifting.

As a physiotherapist my motto is that there is always something that you can do to help someone, no matter how small. Being able to help others achieve their goals is what fills my cup and motivates me to be the best version of myself.
