"Due to a sporting injury when I was 12 years old, I was left with an undiagnosed broken hip for 4 years. After multiple surgeries to repair my hips, I now have chronic pain, severe osteoarthritis, and have been told by my orthopaedic surgeons that I need them both replaced.

Obviously, this has involved A LOT of time in hospital and rehabilitating. However, the silver lining is it led me to be a Clinical Exercise Physiologist. I find my relatable background helps me provide the best care for my patients who may also be struggling with pain, injury, & post-surgery management.

Another main reason as to why I’ve started Hart Health is my beautiful Granni, who unfortunately had a stroke at age 68. Watching my Granni be amazing and active one day, to being hemiplegic the next was devastating. It’s made me realise how important exercise and rehabilitation is for chronic conditions, such as a stroke.

Simple exercises everyday can help improve function & mobility, two things which can be taken away from you after a stroke. I want people like my Grandma to have access to services such as exercise therapy and rehabilitation, to maximise their potential recovery. Hart Health is an at-home service, which gives an extra level of accessibility as I know firsthand how hard it can be getting to and from appointments."
