I qualified in 1999 as a Physiotherapist in South Africa, and practiced as a musculoskeletal & sports physiotherapist and Pilates instructor for over 20 years. I completed post graduate specializations in Orthopedic Manipulative Therapy and Sports, in addition to doing extensive training in Dry Needling, Kinesio-taping, SIJ dysfunction, Upper and Lower Quarter, Cranio-Sacral Therapy and many different movement & rehabilitation modalities. I founded a multi-disciplinary practice in Johannesburg in 2003, where together with Biokineticists, Personal Trainers, Dieticians and Psychologists we worked with patients to optimize their health and wellbeing. 

In 2018 I moved to Zurich, Switzerland and so began a new chapter of my career. With the challenge of my Physio qualification not yet recognized in Switzerland, I started a business focussing on Pilates, personal training, and physical re-conditioning.  I also co-founded a web-based business, focussed on joint health and osteoarthritis. 

Due to my on-going interest in human health and thriving, I transitioning into Functional Medicine Health Coaching, and received my FMCA accreditation in 2022.

Being women in our 40’s, a colleague and I embarked on creating and running  Women’s Wellness Courses – while the focus was on hormonal health, nutrition, gut health, exercise, stress management and detoxification, we wove principals of Mindfulness into the course to bring about deeper transformation. 

I then worked in a Swiss start up, which was a roller coaster of experiences. Initially as Client Success Manager on the B2C side, I experienced the challenges of running and managing concierge longevity / health optimization programs. I learnt about creating successful client journeys, managing clinical teams and client relationships, measuring client success and everything in between.  I was also privileged to work with some incredible clients in the concierge health coaching role.

I then transitioned into a B2B role within the same Swiss start up, as Head of Partnerships. I had the privilege of traveling around the globe, meeting incredible minds in the longevity / preventative medicine / wellness industry. My responsibility to manage the partnerships with clinicians / clinics interested in the SaaS health data platform we had developed, and to consult with them about challenges they faced in the industry, gave me an in depth understanding of the market segment, and forged relationships with clinicians around the globe. 

I bring a deep understanding of healthcare dynamics and a client-centric approach to problem-solving. My global network in the health, wellness and longevity space enhances my ability to build strong relationships and identify growth opportunities. I believe in a growth orientated mindset and I am excited about future opportunities to support others in their growth.
