Originally from Perth, Western Australia, my journey started back in 2010 when I stumbled into this amazing thing called chiropractic, it impacted my life so much after many years travelling the globe, I settled in beautiful Aotearoa to follow my dream, graduating from the world-renowned New Zealand College of Chiropractic.
​
I am passionate about igniting the body's ability to heal and empowering my people to join me on a more sustainable journey of health. I LOVE working with families to be the healthiest version of them self to get the most out of life. Although my real passion is working with pregnancy and the younger members of our community, I believe that every child should have the opportunity to get their nervous system checked & adjusted to start life clear & connected!
​
I am very grateful for the incredible experiences I have had to connect & adjust remote communities around the world such as Haiti, Dominican Republic & Rarotonga. These incredible experiences have shaped who I am as a chiropractor and shown me the importance of connection & comm-UNITY. I believe that everyone should have access to chiropractic & this sense of community is the essence of Native Chiropractic.
​
If I am not at Native you will find me in mama mode exploring with my tiny human, playing in the veggie garden or creating nourishing food.
​
I love the Sumner community and I look forward to you being a part of ours here at Native Chiropractic.

After spending the past year travelling around New Zealand in our caravan and locuming at different practices, I felt a strong pull to root down and follow my passion — supporting families to truly thrive holistically and naturally.
I’m deeply passionate about honouring the body’s innate intelligence, supporting it to do what it’s designed to do: heal, adapt, and flourish. I studied at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic, and through my own healing journey and motherhood, I developed a deep passion for natural health and a commitment to help families feel regulated, grounded, and held throughout all seasons of life.
I believe true health is about so much more than the absence of symptoms; it’s about living in alignment with our bodies, our values, and the natural rhythms around us. Outside of practice, you’ll find me present with my toddler, usually grounding and exploring in nature. You’ll often find me making whole food meals from scratch, nerding out over no-tox ingredient labels, or simply enjoying quality time with my family.
I’m so grateful to be part of the Native Chiropractic community, and now being a Sumner local myself, I can’t wait to walk alongside you and your family as you create a more connected, vibrant life.”

Natural health has been an intrinsic part of my life growing up; from homeopathy to growing veggies, sand castles and walking on the beach.…. have a deep appreciation for what nature offers us as well as the regenerative capabilities of our bodies when we provide the environment for this to happen.
My interests currently lie in furthering my knowledge around somatic practice, arts
therapy and nutrition, and the threads that weave between them.
I have a background in dance, and will find myself unconsciously moving to a beat (any beat) which may or may not be in my head… otherwise you'll find me reading in a patch of sunshine or fussing over my plant babies or sticking my feet in the ocean.
I do enjoy experimenting in the kitchen, and absolutely love those authentic connection moments with others. Fejoas, dark chocolate, espresso coffee and herbal teas are some of my favs, while op-shopping is my jam. If you bring out the scrabble board we might have a bit of friendly competition!
Thank you to the team for bringing me into the fold - I am truly grateful to be able to participate in the magic here at Native and I absolutely love supporting your wellness.

I first discovered chiropractic in 2020 and was always interested in how it affects the mind and body. In 2021 I began getting adjusted and never looked back! I couldn’t believe the positive impact it had on my overall health and wellbeing, it’s truly magical! Getting adjusted is my favourite part of the week and I was eager to learn more about it.
I have been a nanny for many years and love helping little ones explore the world around us and nurturing their curiosity. I am very grateful for the experiences and ability to help tiny humans learn and grow!
I love moving my body daily with morning runs or walks amongst nature. I appreciate the beauty in the small things all around us, and along with some good music, it is the perfect way to start a fabulous day! In my spare time you’ll find me connecting with loved ones, enjoying the sunshine or creating delicious and nutritious meals in the kitchen.
I am love being a part of the Native family and the journey of our beautiful community.
