Your Body: The True Baseline

I didn’t play tennis as a junior. On paper, I often walk onto the court with far less technical training and fewer years of experience than my opponents, yet I consistently win matches (including reaching our club’s 2026 AO 1 Point Slam Final).

Why? Because I know how to stay composed on the court - whether I’m playing in a final, when my strokes fall away or when things just aren’t going to plan.

From High-Pressure Law to On-Court Composure

Before moving into tennis performance, I spent years helping people regulate their nervous systems inside the criminal justice system. And prior to that, after burning out from the pressures of working as a lawyer and navigating chronic pain, I used these exact tools to rebuild my nervous system and completely change the direction of my life.

Stepping onto the court, I see huge untapped potential at all levels: talented players letting matches slip away that they have every skill to win, and athletes dealing with recurring injuries. Understanding your own nervous system is a massive asset - it helps you stay steady under pressure, and it helps your coach and physio do their best work with you.

How I Work

I don't touch swing mechanics or match tactics, and I don't replace your doctor or your physio. Working alongside your coach or medical team, I give you simple, practical physical tools across three areas:

• Composure Under Pressure: Recognising how tightness shows up in your body and breath, and learning how to regulate it in real time between points.

• Injury Prevention: Spotting physical overload, habitual bracing, and asymmetry early before they turn into chronic issues, and building the awareness to describe with precision to your physio what is happening inside your body.

• Rehab Efficiency: Understanding protective muscle guarding after an injury so you rebuild genuine trust in your body and physical tenacity on court.

I’m available for 1:1 sessions and coach consultations worldwide via Zoom and in-person in Melbourne.
