About Us
In Te Reo, Katoa means 'wholly', 'all encompassing', 'the entirety'. This resonated with us as it captured our approach to healthcare. We recognise that each individual is unique, as is each point in time. Therefore each situation can be influenced by many factors (like a puzzle with many pieces) and must be addressed with this in mind.
As there cannot be a 'one size fits all' approach to healthcare, we, at Katoa Physiotherapy strive to deliver a high quality service, primarily focussed on musculoskeletal wellbeing, but with a deep consideration of the whole person in their entirety.
As our client, we seek to empower you with knowledge and understanding, working with you to help you get the most out of life.

BHSc (Physiotherapy)
BSc (Sport and Exercise Science)
After completing a Sports and Exercise Science degree I developed an interest in injury rehab which then led me towards a Physiotherapy Degree where I also met my wife, Andrea. Since graduating in 2008 we have both been working in the local Bay Of Islands area, for the past 12 years I have worked between clinics in Paihia and Moerewa. I enjoy Kayak Fishing, Bike Riding and some Duck and Bunny Shooting with my young twin daughters. I also enjoy Woodworking and DIY.
