After treasuring her time in regional Queensland with her family by her side, she is excited to return to the coastal lifestyle of the Sunshine Coast and grow as a new clinician.

Driven by her bubbly and warm personality, Georgia strives to provide a goal-oriented, holistic approach to patient care. Her compassion and excellent communication skills enable her to understand the unique needs of each patient, ensuring they receive care tailored to their specific concerns. Georgia is committed to helping patients reduce pain, restore function, and achieve their full potential through a personalised treatment plan.

Outside of the clinic, you’ll find Georgia enjoying her days spent at the beach, attending spin and Pilates classes, or exploring the beautiful scenery the Sunshine Coast has to offer, with the occasional enjoyment of a Netflix show or two.
