About Beth: 

Beth experienced chronic daily headaches for many years. After seeking doctors, practitioners and various treatments and medications, she was still in pain and told that she would have to manage it. This unacceptable answer motivated Beth to not only find solutions for herself but also led her to her passion, which is helping others experiencing the same condition. She now solely treats those experiencing chronic headaches, migraines and dizziness disorders at Melbourne Headache Solutions, where she is also Team Leader and Junior Partner. She wanted to help as many people as possible, so during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021, she co-authored a book on migraines titled, Solving the Migraine Puzzle.

Beth has completed advanced training in headaches, migraines, vestibular disorders, concussions and post-concussion syndrome.
