Summary

Passionate chiropractor with a diverse background in professional sports and personal experience with sports injuries. Currently practicing in Brisbane after starting my career in Melbourne, Australia. My interest in chiropractic was sparked when I received my first treatment for post-concussive migraines and pain, which had plagued me for two years. This experience motivated me to pursue a career in helping others facing similar issues. With a unique combination of professional sports experience and dedication to helping individuals achieve their health goals, I provide tailored and individualized care to patients. Graduated from the New Zealand College of Chiropractic with a Bachelor's degree in Chiropractic and have been practicing for nearly two years. Previously I attained a partial degree in psychology at the University of Calgary where I played CIS hockey for the Dinos.
