I Started my physiotherapy journey in my home country of Canada. I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Human Kinetics. I then worked as a personal trainer in Canada before moving to Melbourne to complete the Doctor of Physiotherapy at the University of Melbourne in 2013. I have worked for many years in private practice physiotherapy as a general musculoskeletal physiotherapist treating many people with pelvic pain and low back pain. I subsequently found my niche in pelvic health and completed my post graduate certificate in Pelvic Floor at the University of Melbourne in 2017.
I enjoy seeing a variety of people men, women, adolescents, gender diverse and transgender people with challenges in all areas of pelvic health including bowel/bladder urgency and incontinence, nocturia, prolapse, lumbar/pelvic pain, pain with penetration, pre and post natal pelvic floor, menopause, pre and post prostatectomy and musculoskeletal concerns.
I am passionate about this area of health because so many people suffer in silence for years, not realising help is available and what a difference it can make. I love combining my understanding of the external and internal pelvis and my personal training skills to empower people to regain confidence in themselves and their bodies and be able to do the things that they love again.
When I am not at work I enjoy exploring the local beauty the peninsula has to offer, at the beach, in the forest or at the park with my husband and our two boys and the family dog.
