About
Dentistry with heart and curiosity.
I became a dentist to combine healthcare with real human connection. Two decades on, that's still the part I love most.

I founded Magical Smiles to create the kind of dental practice I’d be proud to bring my own family to: gentle, honest and easy to understand. It began in Caroline Springs and has grown into three clinics across Melbourne’s west.
Along the way, becoming a mother changed my focus. Watching my own child struggle with sleep led me into airway, tongue-tie and myofunctional care, and to the idea that crowded teeth, snoring and jaw tension are often connected. I’ve spent over a decade learning how breathing, tongue posture and growth shape the smile, and I bring that thinking to every consultation.
I also love the artistry of cosmetic dentistry: helping someone see their smile in a new light and seeing what that does for how they carry themselves. Training in hypnotherapy, NLP and life coaching helps me hear what matters to you, not just what’s in your mouth.
“Examine the whole picture, explain it properly, then let the patient decide.”
Philosophy
Three words I work by.
Examine
We look at the whole picture first: your teeth, your jaw, your breathing and your habits. Not just the one tooth that brought you in.
Educate
Plain-English explanations, your own photos and scans on the screen, and every option laid out, including the option to wait.
Empower
You decide. No pressure, no assumptions, and a written plan and cost estimate before anything begins.
Training and credentials
Always learning, always asking why.
