What type of patients do you treat at FitRight HQ?
At FitRight HQ I offer musculoskeletal physiotherapy, clinical exercise and physiotherapy for women experiencing breastfeeding issues.
I treat women at any age or stage of life, with a passion for movement rehabilitation and general health - I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I especially love reintroducing exercise to women who've been inactive due to injury or pregnancy. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my patients get back to doing what they love.
I also have a special interest in treating pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy and abdominal muscle separation after birth.
Where and what days do you work?
I see patients and teach exercise classes at FitRight HQ on Tuesdays & Thursdays.
What has your journey as a Physiotherapist looked like so far?
I graduated from Curtin University in 2007 and spent my early career in private physiotherapy clinics across Perth and Sydney, treating musculoskeletal and sports injuries and teaching clinical Pilates.
Having children of my own sparked a real interest in treating women through the childbearing years. I joined FitRight in 2017 as an Instructor and Business Manager, and have since taught pregnancy and postnatal classes across Perth.
I'm now co-director of FitRight HQ Applecross and FitRight West Perth.
What do you love most FitRight?
What I love most about FitRight is the space we've created. Women can come in and feel safe to move - during pregnancy, after birth, and well beyond that.
I'm so proud of that. And I'm proud of the team we've built around it - genuinely good people who care about every woman who walks through the door.
It's turned into more than a clinic - it's a community. That's the part I love most.
