Leah graduated from the University of Otago in 2024 with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy. Originally from sunny Nelson, she grew up loving the great outdoors, competing at a national level in swimming and enjoying the competitive nature of women’s rugby.

Having experienced her fair share of sporting injuries, physiotherapy was a natural calling for Leah, as she enjoys working through the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of problems. She values the holistic approach physiotherapy offers, taking the time to understand what is most important to her patients so she can help them return to what they love. She has a wide range of clinical interests and enjoys working with people of all activity levels, tailoring rehab plans that fit into busy lives.

Outside of work, Leah enjoys open water swimming, learning to surf, and hiking.
