I am a passionate Physiotherapist working within Pelvic Health and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction and believe that patient-centered care should be a Physiotherapist’s top priority. At the University of Notre Dame, I discovered a passion for pelvic health and I’ve since completed further training through the Australian Physiotherapy Association and currently studying for my Master’s degree in Continence and Pelvic Health at Curtin University.

I enjoy treating a wide range of pelvic health and continence issues, using evidence-based techniques to guide treatment with the goal of making a real difference to the lives of my patients.

As a qualified Stott Pilates Instructor and having studied Exercise and Sport Science, I have a passion for helping my patients better understand how their bodies can move and heal through various forms of exercise and empowering them to take charge of their own health.

I believe as Physiotherapists we are here to listen, understand and to empower people to become better versions of themselves.
