She enjoys the challenge of incorporating Physiotherapy goals and exercises into the day-to-day lives of her patients and their families. Her special interests include misshapen heads, developmental delay, musculoskeletal and neurodevelopmental concerns. Due to her sporting background, Dora aims to pass on a lifelong love of physical activity to all of her patients, despite their age and physical ability.

In her spare time, Dora loves spending time with her family and friends, working out at the gym, running and cooking. Having been born in Hungary, Dora also loves travelling and trying different cuisines. She speaks Hungarian fluently and French at a tourist-level.
