About Nat
With more than a decade of experience on the international stage, she combines clinical expertise, leadership, and mentorship in every teaching environment. As Vice-Chair of the Australian Sports Chiropractic SIG, she is actively involved in mentoring students at live sporting events and supporting the next generation of sports chiropractors.
She is Head of Medical for Australia’s sitting volleyball program, supporting the team on the pathway to LA 2028 and Brisbane 2032, and has led medical services for national beach volleyball across Australia for more than 12 years.
