Kate completed her 5year double degree at RMIT University(Bachelor of Applied Clinical Science/Bachelor of Osteopathic Science) and graduated in 2003.From here, Kate worked in a clinic in Port Macquarie, and then Overseas in both Ireland and New Zealand.
Whilst in New Zealand she worked in a Children’s Osteopathic Clinic. Kate found the experience of working with children most rewarding and turned her focus to paediatrics. She developed a love for treating children and infants, and began to specialise, developing her skills and gaining experience in this field.
In 2007, Kate moved to the Northern beaches and begun work as a Clinician at the University of Western Sydney, teaching 4thand 5thYear Osteopathic students as well as examining and assessing final year Osteopathic students.
Whilst working at the University Kate also worked at several clinics throughout Sydney, she found the professionalism and atmosphere of the NSO Clinic to be the most rewarding. She really enjoyed and benefitted from the experience of working alongside Dr Sharon Franklin. The NSO Clinic eventually became her sole workplace.
Along with a focus on Paediatrics, Kate has also experienced a great deal of success and enjoyment treating women through their pregnancy and post partum and continues to work in this area.
