Natalie 

Natalie is a Physiotherapist who graduated from Sydney University in 1996. As early as 1997, Natalie started her journey in hand therapy and has been helping people achieve their rehabilitation goals ever since. She has worked in both the private and public sectors, and loves to see her patients succeed and return to the activities they love.

Natalie’s interests are in multitrauma, fracture management, and the treatment of dancers’ foot and ankle injuries.

In her spare time, Natalie likes to swim, bushwalk, and enjoy our lovely location here on the Coffs Coast.

Anna 

Anna is a dedicated and experienced hand therapist, accredited by the Australian Hand Therapy Association (AHTA). She has been a valued member of the Coffs Coast Hand Therapy team since 2019, helping patients regain function and confidence in their hands.

After graduating with Honours in Occupational Therapy from the University of Queensland in 2016, Anna began her career in hand therapy in Brisbane before settling on the Coffs Coast.

Anna has a particular interest in post-operative care, wound and scar management, and custom splinting. She enjoys the problem-solving nature of hand therapy and takes an individualised, creative approach to treatment.

Outside of work, Anna enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters, making the most of the beautiful Coffs Coast beaches and family life.

Ryan

Ryan joined Coffs Coast Hand Therapy in 2024 after graduating from the University of Newcastle. He is now an associate of the AHTA and is currently pursuing his credentials to become a certified hand therapist. Relocating to Coffs Harbour from the Central Coast, Ryan discovered his passion for hand therapy. He has a special interest in trauma, with the ultimate goal of returning people to the lifestyle they love.

Throughout his studies and career, he has gained an extensive range of experience in both private and public settings, alongside providing sports coverage for soccer, netball, and rugby union. He also provided some assistance with the NRLW Broncos team (though he is an undercover Knights supporter!).

Outside of the clinic, you can find Ryan walking his energetic Labrador with his partner, getting pitted at Diggers Beach, or dunking at Sports Central.
