Our Nurse Practitioner

For over 25 years, I have been a dedicated and endorsed Nurse Practitioner specializing in the intricate fields of cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery. My career has been defined by a commitment to excellence and a global perspective, having practiced in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. This international experience has honed my ability to adapt to diverse healthcare systems and patient populations, enriching my clinical expertise.

My practice is deeply rooted in the principles of lifestyle medicine. I believe in empowering patients to take an active role in their cardiovascular health through evidence-based lifestyle modifications. I am committed to providing comprehensive care that encompasses not only medical interventions but also focuses on preventative strategies, including nutrition, exercise, stress management, and other key lifestyle factors, to optimize heart health and improve overall well-being.

"My wife and I attended the care4heart nurse clinic. After meeting Gayleen and spending time with her and going through the pre-operation, operation and post operation processes, recovery time, we appreciated how worthwhile the meeting had been. She made both my wife and I very comfortable about the operation and my wife made the comment when we left the consultation, “I feel so much more relaxed after hearing so much clear and succinct information."
