My Journey with Optimal Living
My interest in more subtle forms of Chiropractic technique & Kinesiology began when I was still at university & I had the opportunity to work as a student with Dr. Shirley George, a highly respected Activator & Kinesiology Chiropractor in Kensington Sydney.
After graduating as a Chiropractor & Osteopath in 1983 & an Acupuncturist in 1984, I began practice in the Hunter Valley & my interest grew in the ‘Activator’ instrument to the exclusion of all other chiropractic adjusting techniques.

Consequently I don’t use manual adjusting & I haven’t ‘cracked’ anyone’s back for over 25 years.
I gained advanced proficiency rating in Activator Methods in 1986 & qualified as a table instructor of Activator Methods in 2001.
In 2008 I was acknowledged for my contributions to the development of the technique by Activator founder, Dr. Arlan Fuhr. This acknowledgement is printed in the 2008 edition of the Activator Textbook.
After 14 years in Singleton, I opened my Chiropractic office in Newcastle specialising in Activator Chiropractic, Kinesiology & Energetics.
Parallel with the Chiropractic side of my work I have been involved in the study of human behaviour. My particular areas of interest have been in human development, limitations people come up against in life, & the role of personal or internal pain manifesting itself in physical ill health, physical pain & physical limitation.
I have participated in many courses & workshops in these areas over the years including:
- Accredited Practitioner of Holographic Repatterning, (renamed Resonance Repatterning)
- Conflict Resolution & Beyond Conflict courses.
- Attitudinal Healing Facilitation course.
- Voice Dialogue (Jungian psychology modality)
- NLP workshops
- Reiki 1 & 2
- Brandon Bay’s Journey workshops
Suicide Assist training in association with Lifeline- Lifeline Telephone Counsellor training.
In recent years I have been invited to speak at workplaces & community forums on the subject of ‘Making Healthy Choices’ & the amazing benefits that healthy choices will have in your life.
After 27 years in practice I can honestly say that I love what I do.
I love helping people say goodbye to pain & I love helping people say hello to living!
