I now know why I’m here — to bring healing to others, and to walk the healing path myself.

​

As a kid, I had no fear. I was the big brother — the biggest kid on the street — so I had to lead the way, take the leap, act like nothing scared me. I was all action: climbing fences, jumping off rooves and staircases, even landing on a cactus once. My poor mum was always taking me to the doctor for one thing or another.

​

And through it all, cricket was the one thing I couldn’t get enough of. I played every day — with my brother, the neighbours, at school, at the club. It was just non-stop. As a kid, you just kept going — you didn’t think about fatigue or limits. You played until your body made you stop.

​

When I was 14, playing in the Hatch Shield for Yarraville, we had a tournament with something like six matches over two weeks. During one game, after a long day in the field, I cramped badly mid-match and could barely walk. I had to hobble off. Then an older man — someone who just knew what to do — pressed his thumb deep into my calf. It was sharp, painful even… but minutes later I was back on the field. We ended up winning that game.

​

That moment never left me — how something so simple, so direct, could unlock the body and bring me back. There was something in the way he did it — not just the technique, but the feeling behind it. A kind of quiet magic. Whatever it was, it stayed with me — and in its own way, it set me on this path.

​

My approach to physiotherapy is hands-on. I’ve never worked in clinics filled with machines or gadgets doing the work for me. My hands are my tools — shaped through years of practice, mentorship, and learning from every treatment I’ve ever received, especially when travelling.

​

For me, healing isn’t just about muscles and joints — it’s about energy, attention, and connection.

​

Over the years, energy work found its way into my practice. I’m trained in Reiki Level 1 & 2, and Tibetan Mantra Healing (Level 1), though I’ve been quietly using mantra-based touch in my sessions for over ten years. Every time I place my hands, there’s intention — a syllable, a sound, a silent offering. Patients sometimes ask if I’m holding a tool. But it’s just my hands, the mantra, and the current flowing through.

​

These days, I also work with visualisation — clearing blockages, realigning structure, and shifting energy using images of wind, waterfalls, lightning, spinning chakras, even mini tornados. This way of working has deepened through the guidance of my teachers — Ken, a renowned Reiki practitioner and artist, and Drukmo, my teacher in Tibetan mantra healing. Both introduced me to visualisation not just as a tool, but as a language of energy — intuitive, symbolic, alive. Often I play healing music — Tibetan or Hindu — to support the energy. The space becomes something more than just a treatment room.

​

I’m grateful to everyone who’s come through my practice. Each person has helped shape the work and supported my growth. You’re part of my journey, and I’m thankful for it. I feel lucky to do what I love, and I genuinely look forward to coming in each day.

​

My aim is to keep evolving as a healer — and eventually to teach this work, so others can carry it forward in their own way. I want to share what I’ve learned, what’s been passed to me, and what continues to reveal itself through practice. A big part of this journey is also about inspiring others — to recognise their own gifts, to grow into who they really are, and to show up in the world as kind, capable, and wholehearted people.
