They say life starts at 40, well it has for me. I’ve accumulated the last 20 years of my work/life experience and poured it into creating Chiron’s Hands plus my new born baby Athena. We’re all growing together and loving every minute of it.

I started out managing community recreation centres for the YMCA, building strong people, families and communities and valuing the body, mind and spirit. While working in management I also did a bit of personal training on the side because I really didn’t like sitting behind a desk or computer screen. I left the YMCA to study a masters in wellness at RMIT but it lead me into studying Integrative Psychotherapy at IKON institute as I found the personal face to face transformational work fascinating, meaningful and magical.

As a psychotherapist though I then found myself constantly getting out of the chair and into people’s bodies especially when trying to transform trauma. As they say the body keeps the score and all of that lead me to ask my Minotaur Mike Rigby who had been treating me for 20years and has been practicing for more than I’ve been alive to teach me his secrets and trade as a myotherapist. He said sure, jumped up on the table and said “go for it”, with a bit of fear and hesitation I put my hands on his body and have kept using them to heal people’s bodies ever since.

While apprenticing with Mike I completed my remedial massage and Myotherapy studies at the Australian College of Fitness and Bodywork and started working at the Urban Alchemist in Carlton. I’ve since moved on from there and work out of Brunswick to be able to have more time with Athena.
