Meet Dr Livia
Growing up in the Tuscan countryside, I developed a deep connection with nature, and horses quickly became my passion. I started riding young and quickly developed a passion for showjumping. Since then, horses have been a pivotal part of both my life and career.
After graduating with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, I moved to Ireland, where I worked extensively within the Thoroughbred industry. This experience gave me invaluable insight into equine performance and biomechanics, and eventually led me to Australia.
Throughout this journey, my dog Mia has been by my side. While living in Australia, she began to show signs of back pain, which led me to explore acupuncture, chiropractic care, and other integrative therapies. The transformation I saw in her was profound and reshaped the way I approach veterinary care.
This inspired me to pursue further training in Veterinary Acupuncture and Animal Biomechanical Medicine, allowing me to offer a more holistic, multimodal approach.
Today, I support both equine and canine patients with the goal of helping them move better, feel better, and perform at their best.
