When I was young I was keen to study medicine – until I discovered osteopathy. I have been treating patients since 1999 and continue to do yearly courses.
Osteopathy perfectly combined my interests in:
- human biology
- the laws of nature
- helping people through natural and positive approaches to health
I completed my double degree in osteopathic medicine at RMIT in 1998.
Bachelor Applied Science (Clinical Science)

Work history
Since graduation, I have been in private practice working in and around the Brisbane area. In 2004, Shayne Day and I established the Brisbane Osteopathic Centre in Wilston.
Osteopathy Australia
I have also spent 5 years on the board of directors for Osteopathy Australia, the professional peak body for osteopaths in Australia. Firstly as the Queensland State President and then the National President.
Professional development
I have completed over 400 hours of additional training in Osteopathy in the Cranial Field. This included courses with the Sutherland Cranial Teaching Foundation and completing the Biodynamics of Osteopathy in the cranial field phase programe twice over many years. I had the privilege to be taught by Dr James Jealous from America and other experienced osteopaths trained in Europe. These courses included: treatment of children, clinical neurology, embryology and the osteopathic approach to dental problems.
