Life Outside Medicine
“Family is important to me and helping you achieve this is my mission.”
I genuinely love coming to work each day. It’s a privilege to be in a position where I can make a real difference in someone’s life helping them navigate their fertility journey and, hopefully, achieve their dream of building a family. That sense of purpose keeps me grounded and grateful. But when I’m not at the clinic, it’s the simple things that bring balance and joy to my life.
Exercise has always been part of who I am. As a teenager, I swam competitively for Victoria, and during my university years, I worked as an aerobics instructor leading classes full of music, movement, and energy. These days, my routine looks a little different but every bit as rewarding. I absolutely love training at Saint Haven Gym it’s my sanctuary. The atmosphere, the community, and the focus on wellness make it a place where I can reset both body and mind. I also practise Pilates regularly, drawn to its blend of strength, calm, and precision.
Family means everything to me. I’m married to my wonderful husband, Fabrizio a passionate hotelier with Italian roots that keep our home full of flavour and warmth. We met in 1992, bonded over our shared love of staying active, and have been inseparable ever since. Together, we’ve raised two amazing adult children: our son Fabjnr, who’s building a career in property development, and our daughter Tatiana, who brings her creativity to business and marketing. Travelling with them is one of my greatest joys discovering new cities, new cuisines, and new stories to share. Our trips to Jamaica still makes us smile whenever we reminisce.
At home, I’m constantly trying though not always succeeding to improve my Italian. Fabrizio is endlessly patient, and our language lessons often end in laughter. And I have a soft spot for dogs. Our Golden Groodle, Kobe, was a true member of the family for many years. He brought so much joy and warmth into our lives, and although we lost him last year, his memory still fills our hearts.
One of my daily rituals is getting ready for work each morning. I love choosing something elegant to wear, slipping on a pair of heels, and feeling ready for the day ahead. It’s not just about appearance it’s about intention. My patients share some of life’s most vulnerable moments with me, and I want them to feel that same sense of care and respect in every interaction.
All these things, the movement, the music, the travel, the language mishaps, and the love that surrounds me bring incredible richness to my life beyond medicine. They remind me that joy, in its many forms, is what keeps me balanced, grounded, and grateful for every day I get to do this work I Love.
