Maddy’s story is one of courage, compassion, and an unwavering dedication to improving the lives of others. From her beginnings as a martial arts coach, Maddy understood the power of movement. Her classes were filled with energy and laughter, teaching people of all ages how to move and find joy in every step.

Graduating with distinction from RMIT University, Maddy set out to change the landscape of osteopathy, working alongside leading pain research scientists and peak organisations to push for better pain treatment. Her life took a dramatic turn when she faced her own battle with cancer. This personal journey gave her profound insight into the challenges of pain and recovery, fueling her determination to help others navigate their own journey.

Maddy’s contributions extend beyond the clinic. She is a co-author of a research paper and an editor of a health book, sharing her knowledge and insights with the world. Her creation of a public resource for adolescents and adults in pain has provided hope and guidance to many, while her work with government bodies has helped shape policies that enhance healthcare standards nationwide.

At Balance Health, Maddy is known for her empathy and knowledge in empowering older people and clients with disabilities. She designs personalised exercise programmes that are goal-focused, fun, and engaging. Maddy believes that rehabilitation should be a source of joy and empowerment, where clients gain strength, mobility, and confidence in their abilities. Her sessions often leave clients with a sense of accomplishment and a smile on their faces. Her commitment to making exercise accessible and enjoyable for all is evident in every facet of her work.

Outside the clinic, Maddy works with non-profit organisations to advocate for better healthcare standards, driven by her passion to make a difference in the world. She lives locally and loves to paint, crochet, swim, play music, and spend time in nature with her husband, Kevin - who is also a leader in the health and pain management field.
