Marianne graduated from the University of Sydney in 1992 and practiced in a number of rural and urban practices before joining the Collaroy Veterinary Hospital team in 2009. In addition to her veterinary science and business degrees Marianne has studied with, and is certified by, the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society as a veterinary acupuncturist. She gains great satisfaction in seeing the results that this complementary therapy in addition to conventional medicine can provide for many pets. In addition to acupuncture, Marianne’s main areas of interest in veterinary practice are pain management, animal behaviour and feline medicine.
