Rachel's love of all things sport growing up has given her an acute understanding of what it is like to be on the patient's side of the fence or rather bed. An inquiring mind developed, in Rachel a desire to understand why her injuries occurred and what she could do about it. Then some great physio experiences, cemented in her mind that this was a career she would be great at.

Rachel's second home is Manly Surf Life Saving Club, where she competes in swimming, board paddling, and ski paddling. Her teaching experience is utilised by training the Nippers of the club, where her physio skills and her love of sport combine.

Rachel has just brought a white car and loves most animals, except for sharks. All those years in the water and she still gets the heeby-jeebies about sharks.
