I am a Myotherapist because I am passionate about assisting people achieve optimal health and wellbeing. This began as a teen when I became a Personal Trainer at my local gym in Essendon in Melbourne and trained clients before and after school.

After completing VCE, my hunger for the health industry grew leading me to the Southern School of Natural Therapies. Here, I completed a four year Bachelor of Health Science in Clinical Myotherapy and met my husband Peter Hoggan. Together we graduated in 2012 and made our way to Peter’s home town of Wangaratta.

I put my roots down, establishing myself in Myo-Way under the guidance of Ashlee, the founder of Myo-Way. Wangaratta quickly became my home allowing me to create my own little in-town farm consisting of our dog Tahoe, a chicken, veggie patch and keeping my horses Riley and Artemis on local acreage. In June 2016 Peter and I became the new owners of Myo-Way and to top it all off in May 2017 we welcomed our first child, Dallas, into our lives.

I am passionate about treating and guiding all members of the local and surrounding communities to achieve their optimal health and wellbeing goals. I enjoy networking with other local health professionals so that if a referral is necessary I can point my patients to the best care.

What I love most about Myo-Way is that we are a holistic clinic. Our practitioners come from various backgrounds and work well together to ensure that all our patients receive the best service and treatment. Personally, I enjoy assessing, treating and managing a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions and pride myself in making sure my patients are well informed through the process.

I grew up in Wangaratta, and have always enjoyed keeping fit and active, I gained a real love for the gym in my late teens which sparked my interest in the human body.

In my early 20’s I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and endometriosis and decided to try massage treatments for the back pain associated with these conditions, I received fantastic results and found that regular massage helped me to manage pain and get more out of my gym workouts, this increased my interest in the human body and holistic health and inspired me to start studying Remedial Massage Therapy, I completed my Diploma in Remedial Massage at Wodonga Tafe, whilst studying I completed work experience at Gateway health Wodonga remedial massage clinic, as well as working with a number of local football clubs.

I am passionate about helping people to feel their best and have a strong interest in using myofascial release techniques in my treatments as well as locating and treating trigger points, I am committed to providing all my clients with personalised treatments tailored to their individual requirements.

I grew up here in Wangaratta and went to school at Galen College. I started playing sport outside of school in year 7 where I joined the Wangaratta Little Athletics, focusing on the high jump and the 400m. In 2000, I received an athletic scholarship to attend Caulfield Grammar School where I competed in the Associated Private Schools (APS) Athletics carnival. This was a springboard into achieving national titles in the 400m and high jump and representing Australia in the 400m. I was pushing my body to its limits and wondering why I would keep breaking down. Unfortunately, by 2006 I retired from the sport due to constant hamstring niggles and finally brachial neuritis. What I needed was better education as to why I was breaking down which led me to Myotherapy.

I completed my B.H.Sc Clinical Myotherapy at Southern School of Natural Therapies in 2012. During this time, I worked for the Melbourne Rugby Union Club, working with athletes, not only treating their conditions but educating them to prevent further injury.

I specialise in biomechanics and posture and the benefits of moving well in order to prevent dysfunction. I enjoy working with athletes and treating muscular imbalances with corrective exercises. I also enjoy using dry needles and working through the lower back and hip region.

I have over 4 years’ experience working as a Myotherapist and currently also work as an Allied Health Assistant at NHW Wangaratta. I have also completed a Level 2 Athletic Coach specialising in High Jump.

I grew up in Wangaratta, and have always loved sport. I have always kept myself fit and healthy via netball, gym or getting outside and taking the dog for a walk. Sustaining an injury during a netball game at an early age triggered my interest in how the human body moves and can repair itself.

I started my studies in 2010 at ACST (Australian College of Sports Therapy) in Melbourne studying Sports Therapy, which I had chosen because it focused on an athlete’s performance, recovery and rehabilitation. I completed studying Myotherapy at MIMT (Melbourne Institute of Massage Therapy) in 2013. During my final years of study, I completed work experience with the Melbourne Football Club prior to taking up the position of Trainer with both the Wangaratta Magpies Football & Netball club and the Tarrawingee Football & Netball Club.

I have a strong interest in locating and treating Trigger points, looking at pain referral patterns associated and how the pain patterns affect a client’s presenting condition. I like to focus a lot of my treatments around the release of these points to improve function of the joints and muscles involved.
