About us

Athena Health Studio is focused on delivering holistic individualised physiotherapy. Experienced clinicians provide detailed assessment to plan individualised treatment from rehabilitation through to higher level performance. We are experienced in rehabilitation of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions with a whole person focus.

We also have a special interest in working with female bodies through all life stages. Female bodies change at key points in our lives and sometimes this requires an altered focus and approach.

We have an onsite fully equipped gym for rehabilitation as well as clinical pilates equipment to help you reach your goals.

  • Senior Physiotherapist

    I have been a Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist for 19 years and have treated a variety of conditions ranging from acute sporting injuries, postural dysfunctions, pre/post natal woman, post-op joint replacements, Team Sports Physio to Rugby League (International, national), Rugby Union, Netball (national), Athletics and private 1:1 Clinical Pilates.

    I graduated from AUT (BHSc Physio) in 2006 and completed my Post Graduate Diploma in Sports Medicine from Otago Uni in 2010. I have trained in clinical pilates through DMA and APPI and have logged many clinical hours in rehabilitation, which I specialised in when working in London.

    I have a holistic assessment and treatment approach and use the knowledge I have gained over the years to focus on treating the cause of the complaint. My promise to you is that I will not give up, my approach to physio has always been to treat a client the way I would want my family to be treated. I will be the first to let you know if you need a referral to another health care provider and will help you navigate this pathway.

    I have two young boys and when I’m not working or running after the kids I love to run, walk, go to the gym, do a pilates class, spend time with family and enjoy a glass of wine with the husband.

    Special interest in pelvic health and cancer rehabilitation

    I graduated as a physiotherapist in 2014 in Ireland and moved to NZ to work in 2015. I have worked in private practice treating acute injuries and chronic pain conditions since arriving in NZ.

    I started specialist training in pelvic health and cancer rehabilitation in NZ. I have expertise in treating prolapse, incontinence, birth injuries, pelvic pain conditions including painful sex and female cancer rehabilitation. I have further training in managing female athletes and females navigating life stages of antenatal, postnatal and menopause.

    I am passionate about building a relationship with patients and an individualised plan to return patients to the activities they love.

    I have 2 young children and just starting the postnatal recovery journey for the second time. I hope to get back cycling, swimming and running when body and time allows.
