About

Hello, I’m Kristopher.

Living the dream of mixing work & play.

I grew up in country Victoria, hitting golf balls to my dog in the backyard. It turned into what some would call a lifelong obsession.

I studied osteopathy at RMIT and started out with a professional women’s football team in Melbourne, where I got my first taste of what health and performance should feel like at the top level. I moved to Sydney in 2015 and have worked in private practice for many years.

In 2021 I began working specifically in golf. I saw a lack of practitioners who really understood golf and golfers: not just how to get someone hitting it longer and lowering their handicap, but how to keep them playing for longer into their life.

I was also surprised by how few facilities golfers have compared with what other leading sports get in Australia. I’m trying to change that, one golfer at a time.
