Gaby first discovered the benefits of osteopathy while rehabilitating her own injuries playing high level hockey and competing performance horses.  The holistic approach to healing the whole body and mind persuaded her to pursue a career in osteopathy.  She is passionate about helping people maintain active, healthy and happy lives so they can continue to enjoy doing the things they love.

With a keen interest in sport, women's health, pregnancy and paediatrics, Gaby uses a patient-centred approach combining a variety of osteopathic techniques and exercises tailored to each individual.  Her plans for the future include expanding her knowledge/work after completing the post-grad animal biomechanical course so that she can combine her two loves and work with horses and riders (finishes mid 2024)
