Qualifications: Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy, UCD Ireland
Biography: I was born and raised in rural Ireland, and studied Physiotherapy in University College Dublin. I worked in private practice in Ireland for 3 years, where I developed my MSK skills, as well as a love for mat Pilates. I also did some work with local Gaelic football and Hurling teams. I made the move across the world in 2021, and I lived and worked in Auckland for 2 years, before deciding to make the move down to the beautiful South Island.
Clinical Interests: My main interest is musculo-skeletal injuries, especially sports related injuries. I love incorporating my Pilates knowledge into treatment plans, and I am currently working on developing my women’s health skills.
Hobbies/interests: I love all things outdoors, especially hiking. One of the reasons I made the move to Christchurch was to explore more of the South Island, as I couldn’t seem to fit enough in small trips from Auckland. I also enjoy playing hockey when I can.
Why do you love being a physio/part of the team: I love meeting new people from all walks of life, and helping them get back to doing the things they love. I also love working with other physios as part of a team, and constantly learning new things.

Clinical interests: I enjoy all aspects of physiotherapy with a strong passion for sport physiotherapy, late stage rehabilitation and functional movement. I am very much a hands-on physio but utilise both exercise prescription and also dry needling. I also have experience in areas of sensitive claims, and pain management.

Why you love being a physio/part of the team: I love being a physio because I get to connect with people from all walks of life. I enjoy being able to help them through their rehabilitation journey and attaining their goals. Its also a rewarding career in that I never stop learning.
I love being part of a team because it gives me the opportunity to learn from each other, especially when you share the same set of values. I previously worked for You First Physio for 4 years when it was known as Riccarton Physio and it has always been an amazing team. I feel very lucky to be able to return as I have always found it to be like a second family.
