BSC KINESIOLOGY/EXERCISE SCIENCE, DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC (DC)

My healthcare journey began at a young age, driven by my involvement in a variety of sports, especially basketball and baseball. After experiencing repeated shoulder injuries, my chiropractor played a crucial role in helping me manage them and continue playing the sport I loved. This experience sparked my passion for health care and chiropractic. This led me to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology (Exercise Science) at the University of Alberta in Canada, followed by a Master of Chiropractic at Macquarie University, in Sydney. I am also a certified personal trainer, with a keen focus in combining these skills for the most optimal treatment and rehab plan. I have completed additional professional development courses in adjusting, dry needling, Rocktape and cupping.

I enjoy tailoring treatment to each patient, finding what works best for them. My goal is to empower my patients to overcome pain, improve movement, and return to the activities they love.

Outside the clinic, you’ll often find me working out, running, hiking, playing basketball, or finding any excuse to spend time outdoors!

BSC CELLULAR BIOLOGY, DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC

My healthcare journey started when I was young. As the younger sibling, I had to participate in my brother’s chosen sport or activity. I was quickly introduced to swimming at a young age, joining the competitive swim team in Pennsylvania when I was 6. Over the next 20 years, swimming was a huge portion of my life. I was able to earn a swim scholarship throughout my first Uni degree and swim at national collegiate events, all while studying. It was during this time I completed a Bachelor of Science in Cellular Biology.

During my senior year of college, I started having very bad back pain. After trying strong muscle relaxants and taking it easy in the weight room and pool, the last stop was the chiropractors office. Within a few sessions my legs were no longer twitching, my back pain was resolved, I was sleeping better, swimming faster, and enjoying my new pain-free life. I went on to complete a second degree, in Australia from Macquarie University. This time it was in Chiropractic. Since graduating, I have completed numerous professional courses specialising in sports rehab, dry needling, pregnancy and paediatric chiropractic care.

My ultimate goal is to help patients achieve and feel confident in their injury recovery. By building a treatment plan, I want to help my patients reach their health and injury goals. Health is a journey, and I am here to assist you along the way. I am here to help you be better every day and improve your overall health.

In my spare time I like ocean swimming, exploring new beaches, reading, Crossfit, and taking my shih tzu-maltese named "Poptart" for walks.

CLINIC DIRECTOR, BA EXERCISE SCIENCE, DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC (DC)

My story begins from a young age in sport. My passion for sport allowed me to achieve an Ice Hockey Scholarship throughout my first University Degree. During this time I discovered Chiropractic, and the incredible benefits it had on my injuries, my training performance and overall health.

I have completed 8 extensive years of post graduate education, obtaining a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and a Doctorate in Chiropractic. My goal is to work together with you, not just for you. To empower you and provide you with the tools you need to resolve your injuries and improve your future health.

When I am not in the clinic, you can find me staying active at the gym or walking the dogs at the strand. We love to jet off camping and exploring, whenever we get the chance!

CLINIC ADMIN/ RECEPTIONIST

I’m a born-and-bred Townsville local with a deep passion for health, wellness, and the sport industry! While pursuing my Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science, I’ve found joy in connecting with people and diving into the health care world.

When I’m not at the front desk, you’ll likely find me staying active with walks or keeping up with my (somewhat strict) gym routine. I enjoy coffee too much and a sunny beach day on the Strand! And if you ever need a top-tier chili margarita recipe, I’m your go-to!

At reception you can always expect a friendly face and an ear for a chat, before your appointment! I look forward to welcoming you to Momentum Health & Chiro and helping with any admin questions along the way!

CLINIC ADMIN/ RECEPTIONIST

I have lived in the NQ region all my life. My enthusiasm for working in the medical & health care industry developed through association with family and friends in the field.

When I am not seeing you in the clinic I love spending time with my two very animated Boston Terriers, while enjoying a cup, or two, of coffee :).

My goal is to bring a welcoming personality and caring nature, while tending to all of your admin questions and needs at Momentum Health & Chiro.
