My journey in healthcare began in Italy more then 20 years ago, where I trained as a physiotherapist at the University of Milan before completing a Master’s in Sports Rehabilitation. I spent several years working in professional sport, including soccer, skiing, and rugby, where I developed a strong understanding of movement, performance, injury, and recovery.

My interest in looking beyond symptoms and understanding the body as an interconnected system led me to osteopathy. After completing my initial osteopathic training in Italy, I relocated to Australia and furthered my education with a Bachelor of Health Science and a Master of Osteopathic Medicine.

Today, my approach combines osteopathic manual therapy with rehabilitation and movement, drawing on further training in dry needling, fascial manipulation, craniosacral approaches, and Biodynamic Osteopathy. Treatment is always adapted to the individual, with a focus on understanding the patterns that may be influencing pain, movement, function, and recovery.

A growing area of my clinical work and research is the relationship between osteopathy, dentistry, and oral function. I have a particular interest in the connections between the jaw, tongue, breathing, craniofacial system, neck, and the rest of the body, and I increasingly work alongside dental professionals to support patients with more complex craniofacial and functional presentations.

Alongside clinical practice, I am becoming increasingly involved in teaching and mentoring, sharing my experience in dry needling, rehabilitation, clinical reasoning, and integrative osteopathic practice.
