Hi, my name is Shivanjani, but most people know me as Vani. I’m originally from the beautiful and friendly islands of Tonga. I bring a strong sporting background to my physiotherapy practice, including the unique experience of travelling with national soccer teams. This has strengthened my understanding of movement, injury prevention, and recovery in high-performance settings. I also have experience working in inpatient hospital rehabilitation, both in Fiji and Tonga, where I learned to be resourceful and creative in delivering effective care with limited equipment. These experiences have shaped me into a flexible and adaptive clinician, capable of thinking outside the box to meet my clients’ needs. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, playing sports, listening to music, and spending time with flowers—they always brighten my day. My biggest inspiration is my mum, who motivates me daily and is truly my partner in crime. I chose to join NewDirection Care because I believe in its innovative approach. NDC represents a positive change in the future of aged and disability care, and I feel proud to be part of a team that reflects my personal values. I love coming into work, building genuine connections, and supporting residents to live full, meaningful lives.
