What I'm looking for

I seek clinical roles focused on paediatric and neonatal rehabilitation that combine in-person and telehealth care, emphasize patient-centered outcomes, multidisciplinary teamwork, and offer professional development opportunities.

I am a dedicated doctor of physical therapy specializing in paediatric and neonatal rehabilitation, with hands-on experience in OPD, ICU, PICU and NICU settings. I combine manual therapy, electrotherapy and exercise planning to restore movement and promote functional recovery.

As a consultant physiotherapist I have provided in-clinic and online consultations, developed home exercise plans, and delivered home services for diverse patient populations, including post-surgical orthopaedic, neurosurgery and obstetric rehab. I have also supported COVID ICU rehabilitation and pediatric outpatient care.

I organized workshops and seminars and trained in techniques such as sacroiliac joint adjustment and dry needling, complementing clinical practice with education and community outreach. I enjoy designing individualized rehabilitation programs and patient education to ensure continuity of care after discharge.

I am motivated, empathetic and fitness-oriented, with additional experience in fitness training and antenatal/postnatal exercise programming. I seek roles where I can expand paediatric and neonatal services, contribute to multidisciplinary teams, and scale telehealth and home-based rehabilitation offerings.
