Maddie is our principal podiatrist, with a special interest in lower limb musculoskeletal conditions, running-related injuries and footwear prescription. She works closely with local sports medicine physicians, physiotherapists and GPs to deliver personalised, evidence-based care for every patient.

Maddie holds a Bachelor of Podiatry Practice with First Class Honours. Her honours research focused on posterior heel pain, which she presented at the ASICS Sports Medicine Conference, and her work has been published in Footwear Science. She has since completed further training in running mechanics and lower limb injury rehabilitation.

Before podiatry, Maddie spent over a decade as a professional winter sports athlete, representing New Zealand at national and international levels while training toward the 2018 Winter Olympic Games. She lived for extended periods in Canada, training alongside highly regarded athletes, sports medicine specialists, physiotherapists and podiatrists. These experiences shaped her clinical perspective and inspired her to establish Sports Podiatry Manly, a practice focused on lower limb musculoskeletal injuries as well as broader podiatry care, including skin, nail and blister conditions.

Maddie's treatment approach is holistic and individualised. She refers for diagnostic imaging, prescribes custom orthotics and uses a range of adjunct therapies, including radial shockwave therapy, dry needling and joint mobilisation, to support injury recovery and performance.

Outside the clinic, Maddie has a passion for footwear design and works closely with ASICS, bringing a podiatry perspective to shoe design and product development. She also stays active. After competing in triathlons, including Ironman 70.3 events, she now enjoys recreational running and strength training to support long-term bone health.
