I was born in Zimbabwe before becoming an expat child for most of my junior schooling until we moved back to Zimbabwe, where I completed junior school and high school.  I then went to Rhodes University and completed a BSc, double majoring in Human Kinetics and Ergonomics (HKE) and Mathematical Statistics. I earned my honours in Biokinetics from the University of Cape Town, South Africa, in 2007. I remained in South Africa for the completion of my internship and managed a Biokinetic practice until I moved back to Zimbabwe in 2010. I was at the forefront of helping progress Zimbabwe on the medical rehabilitation front. In September 2011, I established Biokinetics as a member of the Medical and Rehabilitation Council of Zimbabwe. I initially set up my own practice out of Rolf Valley Sports and Medicine Centre and then opened my own centre. I met my husband in Zimbabwe, and at the end of 2013, I moved to Dubai, UAE, with him.

I spent my first couple of years working at a practice in the Emirate and then took time off to have our first child. I then fell into Mathematics tutoring for a few years and from there I worked in a British curriculum school in the Inclusion Team using my Biokinetics. My role was to help kids that had been identified with learning barriers, sensory processing disorders, motor control disorders and those receiving OT. I provided them with academic support, fine and gross motor planning and coping mechanisms throughout their learning day to ensure they received full access to the learning outcomes. In 2023, I moved back to Zimbabwe with my husband and 2 children, and am now reopening my practice at Therapyworx.

I have a keen interest in continuing to support children in the education system alongside Occupational, Speech Therapists and Paediatric Physiotherapists, as well as continuing my orthopaedic rehabilitation work alongside physiotherapists and orthopaedic surgeons and specific chronic diseases with GPs and health specialists.

My experience has come from studying and working at the Sports Science Institute of South Africa (SISSA) alongside internationally renowned Sports Medicine Specialists, and with sports teams such as the Sharks Rugby Union, Zimbabwe Cricket and Zimbabwe Rugby 7s. The practice management in South Africa post-training helped me to establish my own practice in Zimbabwe where I covered all areas of Biokinetics. My tutoring and inclusion support has taught me a lot about children and how important movement is for children to ensure their full development, physically and mentally.

My areas of passion are:

• Orthopaedics – keen interest in the lower limb and shoulder conditions
• Children – Weak gross and fine motor control, poor coordination
• Elderly – maintaining independence for activities of daily living
• Diseased population such as Parkinson’s Syndrome and Osteoporosis
