Education

I have completed a year at Auckland University of Technology, 4 years at the University of Waikato and earned a double major Bachelors of Science degree (physiology and psychology) and 4 years at the prestigious NZ College of Chiropractic.

​

Following 4 years of practice, I decided to take my Chiropractic Studies to the top of the Chiropractic specialty ladder and in August 2014 sat my DACNB which is a Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board. I am now a consultant Neurologist for Chiropractors and other manual therapists.

​

I have also studied for and am a candidate for a FABVR (Fellowship in Vestibular Rehabilitation) The American Board of Vestibular Rehabilitation is a sub-agency of the American College of Functional Neurology. It certifies clinicians who have demonstrated appropriate skills in applications of vestibular rehabilitation procedures and awards the designation of Fellow of the American Board of Vestibular Rehabilitation to qualified specialists.

I am taking papers towards my FABBIR (Residency) Fellowship in the American Board of Brain Injury Rehabilitation I am also a candidate for a FACFN (Fellow of the American College of Functional Neurology).
