Since opening iFix Health in Brisbane in 2013 and relocating the clinic to Tauranga in 2015, Michelle has remained committed to helping people of all ages, backgrounds, and activity levels move better and live with less pain.

Michelle is a qualified Remedial and Sports Massage Therapist, graduating from Q Academy in Brisbane in 2010, and is a full member of Massage New Zealand. She is also a member of Sports Medicine New Zealand and currently serves on the Bay of Plenty Sports Medicine NZ Committee.
