An attraction to a profession in which she could care for others led Maryanne to podiatry. She was fascinated by the biomechanics of the human body – the way we walk, run, dance or swim, and wanted to help people move better.
She obtained a Bachelor of Nursing from Edith Cowan University (WA) and a Bachelor of Podiatry at the University of Newcastle (NSW). During her education, she gained a greater understanding of the forces acting upon our bodies, the physics involved in movement and how to unlock our potential for a better athletic performance.
At Saratoga Medical Centre, Maryanne enjoys educating people on taking responsibility for their health.
“I particularly enjoy working with patients with diabetes who need assistance in controlling and managing their wellbeing.”
