Our practitioners - Massage therapists

I started my career in health by training with an Osteopath in Tasmania in the 70s. I was so impressed by the results that he was achieving, not only with patients, but also with my own surfing and horse riding back injuries, that I continued my studies and graduated with a diploma in Swedish Massage and Chinese Cupping. This was the start of a journey for me!

Arriving in Brisbane in the early 80s, I started with the Kenmore Squash and Fitness Centre as their first ever massage therapist. I soon expanded to practice at Toowong Fitness, where I started working with the strength and conditioning coach for the Wallabies. Working with Ian King of King International Sports, I helped many elite atheletes who were training toward Olympic and Commonwealth games levels.

My passion for sports massage and rehab was ignited! I started my own clinic in Toowong where I workded with four other practioners as "Superior Sports Massage and Therapies". Working with the Brisbane Bullets for 5 yrs, I saw coach Joey Wright take the team to their first premiership in 10 yrs. Joey also installed me on the bench- I was the first female in the history of the team to be allowed into that male domain!

Closely working with Chiropractors, Podiatrists and Physios, I have moved towards teaching and study roles during the past 10 years. Completing a dry needling course, I was asked to lecture at QUT, teaching lower limb massage to Podiatry students. I now enjoy working at Wellness One, caring for Chiropractic patients- both pre-adjustment and therapeutic as well as continuing rehabilitation massage with elite and non elite athletes of all ages and fitness levels.

I looove my career, and I looove being here at Wellness One!
