From the mountains to the ocean,

                     movement has always been my medicine.

​

I grew up here in Tauranga and Mount Maunganui — a beach-loving, sport-obsessed kid who thrived outdoors. At 19, a wakeboarding accident led to knee surgery. Just six weeks later, I was on a snowboard in Queenstown, learning to ride again and discovering something powerful ... 'the flow state'.

​

For the next five years, I chased that feeling — snowboarding across the world, pushing my body to its limits, and working as an instructor. During this time, I completed a Sports Science Diploma, and my other great love — the ocean — eventually drew me to Raglan, where I taught surfing, personal trained clients, and developed surf-specific fitness programs.

​

Later, while working on superyachts and surfing through Indonesia, I came face-to-face with a deeper calling. Seeing local workers bent over in the rice fields — living with pain and limited access to care — stirred something within me. I began to ask: What can I do that truly makes a difference?

​

That question found its answer in a chance encounter. I ran into a surfer I had helped years earlier with a rehab program while he waited for back surgery. With a smile, he told me he never needed the surgery, he’d followed my plan, and was now pain-free, still building, still surfing.

​

In that moment, something clicked.
This was my dharma.
To help people ease pain.
To restore flow.
To reconnect them with the life they love.

And so my journey began with Osteopathy…
