What motivates you?
I'm a UK-trained Physiotherapist with a strong passion for women’s health, functional movement and evidence-based care. I was drawn to physiotherapy for its combination of meaningful client interaction and helping people improve the way they move and feel.
I began my career in the UK National Health Service, gaining experience across orthopaedics, ICU, respiratory care and MSK physiotherapy before progressing into a senior MSK role specialising in hydrotherapy, shockwave therapy and lower-limb Rehabilitation. During this time, I developed a particular interest in women’s pelvic health and have since completed dedicated training in this area.
As an APPI Clinical Pilates instructor with additional training in pre/post-natal and orthopaedic pilates, I enjoy supporting clients through thoughtful, accessible and confidence-building movement.
Outside of The Studio...
Running, reading and training at the gym. I also love getting to pilates classes myself and exploring Sydney’s music scene whenever I have the chance.
