About

Tori has been working for Active+ since 2014 after graduating from Otago Polytechnic. She works within the Whanganui region and is passionate about providing holistic, person-centred healthcare that supports people to achieve their goals and live meaningful, fulfilling lives.

Tori enjoys working across a range of clinical areas, with a particular interest in neurological rehabilitation, including dementia/mate wareware, concussion and acquired brain injury. She is also passionate about Māori health, vocational rehabilitation, chronic pain and supporting older people. Tori values taking a holistic approach to rehabilitation, considering the individual, their whānau, culture, environment and the things that are important to them. She enjoys working collaboratively with clients and their support networks to build on their strengths, promote independence and support them to reach their potential.

Outside of work, Tori enjoys playing netball, hiking, Pilates and spending time with her family.
