About

A bit about me

"A sprained ankle can be a bother, but incontinence really impacts people on many levels. So to be able to make a difference is a great feeling"

I completed my undergrad Physio degree from AUT in Auckland and my Masters in Health Services Management in Australia.
I have been a Physio for 17 years – pelvic health for 15 years practicing in rural SA, NSW, QLD
Over the last 15 years I have completed 30+ courses in Women's Pelvic Health from around the world; from over active bladder conditions, bladder pain, endo/PCOS, menopause, prolapse, stress incontinence, bowel incontinence, bowel pain, Bowel voiding issues, coccyx injuries, pelvic girdle pain, pregnancy, diastasis, 3rd and 4th degree tear rehab, pudendal nerve injuries, chronic UTI issues, breast issues - including breast cancer and lymphoedema.... to name a few.
I owned my own practice in rural Australia for 10 years, treating all the normal issues a Physio sees, but I truly enjoy working with my Women's Health patients and seeing them get their confidence back in regards to bladder or bowel issues.
During my time in Australia I worked as part of the care team at a private maternity hospital for 8 years. I worked with a fantastic group of Gynaecologists and Midwives. During this time I was fortunate enough to be able to sit in during vaginal and c-section deliveries and observe gynae surgeries such as hysterectomies, cyst removal, grade 3-4 tear repairs. These experiences from both a Gynaecology and midwifery perspective have enabled me to better understand the full picture and thus provide better rehabilitation.
During my time with the private hospital I also spent time supporting our general surgeon with his colorectal patients - providing rehab for faecal urgency, incontinence and bowel support.
I completed my Men's Prostatectomy and bladder training in 2017 with Dr Jo Milios and began providing pre-hab and rehab - often seeing patients from The Brisbane Urology Clinic.
Our family has recently returned to NZ after 15 years in Australia

I love traveling and gardening. We are currently enjoying showing the kids rural kiwi living and unique kiwi experiences.

What does a Pelvic Health Physio do?

A Pelvic Health Physio is someone who has completed post grad training in issues relating to the bladder, bowel, uterus and pelvic floor. We look after both Women and Men. From pregnancy, post-partum, menopause to cancer related issues in the pelvic area. We are trained to perform internal assessments of the muscles, fascia and organs in this area and provide advice and treatment for conditions such as incontinence, prolapse, or pelvic pain.
