I know how powerful movement can be.
Not just as a physio, but as someone who’s lived through pain and rehab first-hand.
From Broken Bones to World Championships
In January 2017, I crashed on black ice during Ironman 70.3 World Championship training.
I broke my back, hip, pelvis and shoulder. I was unconscious, swollen, and in severe pain.
After two weeks’ rest, my rehab began:
Gentle Pilates helped ease symptoms
Pain relief and rock tape helped manage my haematoma
I returned to my bike (on a turbo trainer) with my arm in a sling
Slowly added light resistance and treadmill walking
Each week I rebuilt strength, with a clear goal: to make the start line
By October 2017, I was in Chattanooga.
I crossed the finish line at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships.
Taped up, in pain, but smiling. Rehab, physio and Pilates got me there.
More Surgeries. More Comebacks.
The next year, I had shoulder surgery.
Weeks later, I ruptured a disc in my neck and lost use of my right arm.
I had spinal surgery to replace the disc.
And again—I used clinical Pilates to recover.
I still live with hip, back and shoulder pain, but I manage it.
I train 6 days a week, do CrossFit 4 days a week, and compete worldwide.
I’ve even completed the Marathon des Sables—a 7-day race across the Sahara.
And I was born with Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome.
A rare vascular condition that affects my left leg.
But it hasn’t stopped me.
Why I Do What I Do
In 2019, I opened PhysioFit Pilates & Physio Studio.
It started with a few local runners in my living room.
Now it’s a thriving physiotherapy clinic and Pilates studio.
I help people recover from:
Back pain, hip pain, knee injuries
Post-surgery rehab (shoulder, spine, hip)
Pelvic pain, women’s health
Injuries from sport or life
Or just feeling stiff, stuck or disconnected from your body
You don’t need to be an athlete.
You just need to want to feel better in your body.

Whether you're recovering from injury or managing chronic pain, I can help.
