Why I do What I Do
My passion for health has led me to build a unique combination of qualifications that work together to support people living with complex lymphatic conditions.
I am an accredited Decongestive Lymphatic Therapy (DLT) Practitioner with extensive training in the assessment and management of lymphoedema, lipoedema, chronic oedema and venous disease. I am also a qualified Remedial Massage Therapist, Oncology Massage Therapist and Registered Nurse, holding a Bachelor of Nursing Science.
Bringing these disciplines together allows me to provide comprehensive, evidence-informed assessment and treatment while considering the whole person, not just their swelling. I am passionate about clinical reasoning, thorough assessment and empowering people with the knowledge and skills to confidently manage their condition.

After many years in medical administration, I chose a career supporting people living with cancer and complex health conditions.
While supporting a close friend through cancer treatment, I discovered the profound impact compassionate touch can have during difficult times. This led me to study remedial and oncology massage therapy, Decongestive Lymphatic Therapy and nursing.
Today, I combine these qualifications to provide evidence-informed, compassionate care that supports the physical and emotional wellbeing of my patients.
Training and Teaching
Alongside my clinical practice, I deliver education and training for health professionals throughout Australia, from introductory workshops through to nationally accredited Decongestive Lymphatic Therapy (DLT) practitioner courses. Remaining actively involved in clinical practice ensures my teaching is practical, relevant and grounded in real-world patient care.
In my Gympie clinic, I provide assessment and treatment for people living with lymphoedema, lipoedema, chronic oedema, venous disease and post-surgical swelling, combining evidence-informed practice with compassionate, individualised care.
