Erin’s favourite saying is ‘don’t regret the things you do; regret the things you don’t do.’

Erin’s personal motto has led her to dive headlong into her passion of service.  

She is a qualified Remedial Massage therapist and is currently studying Bowen therapy to complement her skills set.

“Seeing the results my client’s get is the most rewarding feeling. Working in collaboration with my clients is also an important part of the process,” says Erin. “Helping clients understand their body, how it works, or doesn’t work sometimes, is an important piece of the puzzle to reaching your goals.”

Erin is an active person playing football with her local club, Drysdale Hawks. She is also a keen basketballer and enjoys running weekly. She works with the international charity Hands Across the Water and has had a number of trips to Thailand to support orphanages and raises money through different activities including a 450km bike ride in regional NSW.

Erin is part of an advisory group for a government funded research program into injury prevention and management for community level female football. Recording data and investigating injury prevention will hopefully make the game of AFL more inviting for females to try.
