Personal Interests:

Jayathi is an upholder of sustainable minimalism and enjoys exploring means of incorporating this into her sports and exercise medicine practice. This often leads the consult room discussions on to sustainable solutions and a way of living taking individual circumstances into consideration.

Jayathi loved her time in New Zealand exploring its great outdoors and numerous hiking trails and looking forward to explore what Perth has to offer with an eye on enjoying some great hockey!
