Hi! I’m Catherine

I’m excited to be providing the Dubbo community with Osteopathy and Strength and Conditioning services after moving here with my family in early 2024.

I completed my Osteopathic training at Victoria University in Melbourne and have over 10 years’ experience working in rural and regional Australia.

I strongly believe in the benefits of a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare, working with you and your care team to provide you with the best possible outcome. My main passion is working with sportspeople, particularly female athletes (although I love helping people of all ages and backgrounds). I strive to help athletes of all abilities to be their best by bridging the gap between rehabilitation and performance. I achieve this through a unique combination of osteopathy (manual therapy), rehab exercises and strength and conditioning coaching.

During my high school years, I competed at the national level in track and field but experienced multiple injuries, aches and pains, seeing many different practitioners without experiencing any lasting results. It wasn’t until I was treated by an osteopath and commenced a core strengthening program that I was able to overcome my back pain and return to competition. It is this experience which led me to pursue osteopathy, so that I could help other athletes to get the most out of their sport.

I’ve continued to develop my knowledge and skillset, completing post-graduate courses relating to running technique and rehab, management of sports injuries, speed training and powerlifting. I have completed my Level 1 Strength and Conditioning qualification with the Australian Strength and Conditioning Association (ASCA) and the CrossFit Level 1 trainer course. Over the years I’ve also gained experience in post-surgical rehab of the spine, hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, foot and ankle.

Additionally, I’ve completed further training in the areas of paediatrics, pregnancy/ postnatal care, and dry needling. As a new mother I have experienced firsthand the challenges of recovering from pregnancy and birth, whilst juggling parenthood with work and my sporting endeavours!

Outside of work, I love to run, lift weights, sing and play guitar. I also enjoy spending time exploring the outdoors with my family and love a good podcast!
