In 2002 I completed the “Sleep Medicine and Technology“ certification at University of Sydney , then 2006 went on to complete “The Science Based Approach to Sleep Medicine” at the Woolcock Institute of Medical research.

2003 I created the CPAP Education and Trial Program, which ensured the delivery of tailored patient support.

My introduction to sleep apnoea was whilst working at the Perth Respiratory Lab. Now after 15 years as Clinical Director of Place of Dreams, I continue to hold a real passion for Sleep Health, holding a particular interest in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea.

By working closely with patients and doctors I strive to deliver the best health outcome through compliant and effective CPAP.

This experience helped me understand how poor sleep can impact so many areas of our health, from “Post Natal Depression and Anxiety, to Menopause, Diabetes and Heart Disease”.

I started to really specialise in sleep health over the last 8 years. Recently completing training in Sleep Coaching and CBTi (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Insomnia). 

I am a New Zealander, who was brought up in England and now calls Australia home!

After spending 14 years in Canberra, 8.5 of those working at The Canberra Sleep Clinic as a sleep technician, moving into the wonderful world of CPAP Therapy before becoming the Sleep Studies Team Leader my family and I made the move across the country to settle here in WA.

I have always had a passion for providing excellent care and service and throughout my career in Sleep have successfully supported many a patient into the world of peaceful

Having worked in Administration, Aged & Community Care, I joined the Place of Dreams team in Mandurah.  Welcoming our patients into our clinic, I really enjoy hearing and learning about their Sleep Health Journey’s.

In my spare time I enjoy exploring Perth and its beautiful beaches. Spending time with family and my 3 grandchildren, plus traveling to new and exciting locations across Europe.

After gaining valuable administration skills within our family construction business, I returned to healthcare & joined the Place of Dreams team in Perth, greeting and supporting our patients as they walk through the door.

There is nothing more rewarding than hearing & seeing the change in a patient’s life once their sleep health is under control, so many wonderful stories.

This area of administration has enabled me to be part of many patient journeys, as they embark on their road to a good night’s sleep. I find my position at Place of Dreams Joondalup extremely rewarding.

On my weekends you’ll find me spending time with my beautiful daughter and family.

I value the caring nature of the company and my coworkers. Ensuring our patients feel welcome and comfortable in the clinic, and on the telephone is most important to me. 

Outside of work I love spending time with my family and enjoy anything creative especially watercolour painting.

I began my career over 20 years ago in the Special Needs sector and have since spent many years working in the medical field. I’m passionate about personalized care and look forward to bringing my experience to POD.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, swimming, and cooking. Staying connected and balanced is important to me, both personally and professionally.
