24.01.2022 MEET THE TEAM MONDAY What did I do in isolation? I went on lots of walks with my dog (Anzac) , did some at-home pilates, attempted (unsuccessfully) a puzzle , lots of reading and cooking , and learnt how to sew a teddy bear for my new niece! ... If you could choose 5 dinner guests, who would they be? I would choose Liesel jones, Michelle Obama, Michael McIntyre, Ed Sheeran, and my great grandfather Dream holiday Skiing in Japan! Interests I love treating a wide range of ages and injuries, particularly meeting new people and being able to help them return to what they love doing. The best part is being able to learn interesting things everyday from everyone I talk to. Courses/qualifications During the clinic closure, I did a workplace and vehicle ergonomics course (which I thought was very appropriate given the current circumstances!). I have also completed a dry needling and myofascial cupping course
