My Story
As a former professional dancer with the Australian Ballet Company I was always looking for better ways to manage injuries, and to give my body the ultimate assistance in recovery for the elite physical demands of classical ballet. When retiring from my professional dance career after 10 years service I was very interested in learning how I could help others with what I had experienced and decided that clinical sports massage was what I wanted to do. After more than 20 years of treating people in between professional contracts, performing in the performing arts industry, I trained and received a Diploma in the professional Pilates method. After 4 years of teaching classical ballet, training people in the Pilates method, teaching Qigong and treating people through massage I had finally found an institution that would provide me with the opportunity of following a desire to treat people with the Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy and methods. Torrens University Australia provided me with a training and study that resulted in a bachelor's degree in health science and Chinese Medicine.
