Caren graduated from RMIT university in 2017, achieving an Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy and Diploma of Remedial Massage. She is a highly skilled professional and has become a trusted presence in her profession, addressing symptomatic headaches, referred pain and impingement syndrome. Caren is conscious to identify the underlying causes of musculoskeletal pain when endeavouring to optimise body dynamics and musculoskeletal health.

During her study, Caren had many opportunities to work alongside a list of quality professionals including physiotherapists associated with the National Institute of Circus Arts Australia, the Australian Football League Academy and what was considered an enormous benefit, was Hands on Health Australia in rural Rajasthan India. Here, Caren helped contribute to the Global health Program at Jagran Jan Vitas Samiti, experiencing extreme weather conditions and Rajasthan’s rural isolation. This required therapists to draw on their empathetic reserves and do the very best for those they were honoured to treat. The experience emphasised the need to remain present and in touch of all signs and symptoms, optimising improvement and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal pain conditions.

When not at work, Caren is an avid reader, enjoying the fun of the Stephanie Plum Janet Evanovich novels and Bill Bryson’s take on life, which can be riotous. Caren is also an avid music fan, and finds nothing more enjoyable, than putting on her headphones and jumping on her ergo or stationary bike, riding away from the stresses of the day. In earlier years, Caren was a competitive cyclist, racing for 20 years and managed to become a member of the Victorian Institute of Sport, where she gained a much greater understanding of bio-kinetics and exercise rehabilitation, that has carried over into her work in Myotherapy.
