I graduated from Massey University in 1994 and have focussed my career on caring for companion animals - both the traditional and more exotic species (birds, rabbits, reptiles, rodents and ferrets). There has even been a spattering of wildlife and zoo animals thrown in the mix.  

 

     Attendance at an introduction to animal physiotherapy seminar in the early 2010's opened my eyes to a way of thinking about how the body functions through health, disease, injury and recovery that I wasn't taught at Vet school. What followed was a journey down the path to Certification in Canine Rehabilitation Therapy - a qualification I gained in 2017.  I also hold certificates in Medical Laser safety and Therapeutic laser use through the American Institute of Medical Laser.
