Melanie was born and raised in Melbourne, where she grew up as an elite gymnast. She spent much of her childhood training & competing and this experience inspired her to pursue a career in the field of health & wellness. 

Working as a gymnastics coach & sports trainer for over 10 years provided her with invaluable knowledge of the human body. Her first-hand exposure to sporting injuries, coupled with her experience working with local football clubs, sparked a deep interest in injury management & rehabilitation. 

Melanie pursued a degree in Health Science, where she majored in Public Health. During her studies, she had the opportunity to work with Children with Disability Australia, which helped her develop a strong passion for helping others. 

Following her degree, Melanie completed a Masters in Osteopathy. In 2017, Melanie had the privilege to work alongside leading knee, hip & shoulder surgeons, while she volunteered in India, which fuelled her growing interest in chronic injury management. 

She has also completed certifications in Dry Needling & always customises her treatment plans to meet her patients’ needs. Melanie has a strong passion for bringing relief to women with pregnancy related musculoskeletal complaints. She believes in the osteopathic approach to health, by focusing on not only treating symptoms, but finding the underlying cause of your complaint.
