I had suffered for many years with back, neck and leg pain and on the recommendation of a friend I visited a chiropractor in the hope of some relief for the 16 years of “growing pains” that I was diagnosed with early in my life.

After a course of chiropractic treatment, I felt a remarkable difference in my wellbeing and the quality of my life improved dramatically. This was a turning point for me and I decided to return to university and begin Chiropractic studies.

When I completed the five-year Chiropractic degree in 1987 at RMIT Bundoora, (formally PIT) I worked for 2 years in Hampton as an associate while establishing my own practice within a dental surgery in Blackburn North.

My practice grew rapidly in the following few years and in 1991 I moved to our current location in Mont Albert North.

I have been here for the past 20 years and now I have a caring family practice servicing the Melbourne area, in particular Mont Albert North and surrounding suburbs.

My focus has always been to offer with honesty and integrity, the best possible choices of chiropractic care, to people of all ages.

The passion I have for Chiropractic more than 20 years ago is still with me today.

I look forward to helping you.

I lived, breathed and loved netball all throughout my teenage years and then into my adult years. The highlight of my year was to participate in a netball tournament in Albury which I did for more than 10 years.

It was on one of those tournaments that I reached for the ball and something went in my back. I ended up in the Albury Base hospital, flat on my back, not being able to move.

I spent the next few weeks going from Sports doctors to Physiotherapists, having acupuncture and more. It was a friend that recommended I see her chiropractor and like many people I was sceptical but I decided to give it a try. I never looked back and from that point on my Chiropractor got me physically prepared for every new tournament.

In the last 6 years I was lucky enough to get involved in the Chiropractic Industry where I worked for two different Chiropractors; one who specialised in Customer made Orthotics and the other who manufactured and distributed Rehabilitation products to Practitioners.

I really began to understand what Chiropractic is and how important it was for our health. So much of what happens to our body depends on our spine and its function. If our spine is misaligned then our bodies cannot function to their full potential.. I get it!

My role in the clinic as receptionist is to create a safe and happy environment where all our patients feel relaxed and comfortable.

I focus on Relaxation, Remedial and Pregnancy massage.

If lying on your back the forward ‘C-shape’ curve of the neck should be supported. If lying on your side the spine should be straight, so the head is neither tilted upwards or down. Sleeping on your stomach is never recommended as this creates twisting in the neck.

A pre-contoured pillow needs to be the right size to mould to the shape of the head and neck. A standard pillow needs to be soft enough so the head will gently sink in and support a neutral posture. Back sleepers will generally find they do better on smaller pillows, because the gap to fill in and maintain the forward C-shape curve is smaller than the ear to shoulder gap for side sleepers. Of course most people will sleep in both positions, so a compromise between the two may be required.

A newborn does not require a pillow. By the time a child is 1-2 years old a very thin pillow may be useful when lying on their side. A pillow is not usually required for back sleeping until after two years, and once again this should be quite thin.

We have a range of pillows to suit all people so if you are unsure about what pillow is best for you, phone the clinic on 98901740 for your free pillow check and sleep assessment.
