Where do you work and what type of clients do you treat on a normal day?
I work at FitRight HQ where I offer both women’s health consultations for women with bladder, bowel and sexual pain issues and musculoskeletal consultations for women with aches, pains and sporting injuries. My passion lies with the hip and pelvis, and after having my own children, I trained further in the area of pelvic health. This training has enabled me to be able to fit pessaries which can help to keep women exercising or managing their prolapse symptoms conservatively. I am also trained in cancer care and rehabilitation through Pinc and Steel and can provide assessments for their Next Steps classes and in-clinic 1:1 cancer rehab sessions.
Which FitRight classes do you currently teach?
North Perth & Ardoss Baby&Me and Toddler&Me.
What do you love most about working with FitRight?
I love the social and physical benefits that FitRight group exercise classes offer mums. Becoming a mum can be isolating and lonely at times, and group exercise helps combat that - especially if you're missing your regular classes but feel too scared to return to them. Our classes can be a stepping stone back to your desired level of function, or a long-term home in themselves.
I also love the team I get to work with at FitRight. Being surrounded by people who care as much about our patients as I do makes this work genuinely enjoyable - we learn from each other, support each other, and I think that shows in the care our women receive.
