Thereafter, she completed her community service in the rural Eastern Cape, where she treated a variety of in- and out-patients with neurological, cardiopulmonary, and musculoskeletal conditions.

She graduated with distinction from the distinguished Alvin Ailey School of Dance in New York and hence, knows the multifactorial demands it takes to be an athlete.

Tasha strives to implement person-centred care of the highest standard with the goal of reintegration, whether that be back on the stage, the sports field, or the workplace. She believes that a holistic, biopsychosocial approach to management of pain and suboptimal functioning is key to regaining her patients’ quality of life.
