Fun fact: I love coffee ☕️ and could not do life without it (notice the extra large mug this morning thanks to toddler keeping me awake last night)

But also, I LOVE learning all things women’s health….which is why in my spare time, I am CONSTANTLY reading, watching, listening to continue to provide up to date evidence based practice for my clients.

On my drive to today I listened to a podcast (one of my favs) on Pelvic Venous Disease (formerly known as Pelvic Congestion Syndrome).

Now sitting in my clinic room having a refresh of e-stim for one of my clients to ensure her TENs machine settings are accurate using the wonderful education resources from

Next is my wonderful Mums & Bubs classes at 10.30am then on to some more continued education through my wonderful mentors

How incredible to have access to such amazing women’s health Physio’s 🩷🙌

Ah Menopause!

It’s certainly gained some hype recently (about time I say!) and finally women are not afraid to speak out.

For some women, this is a really crappy time in their life. Shockingly, 25% of women become disabled by their symptoms as they transition from peri to menopause.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Knowledge is power, and there’s no easier way to access information now a days. But if your want to be guided by an evidence based health professional, then a women’s health Physio is your go to wing-woman!

Want to learn how to support your body better through this transition? Book an appointment with me now and let’s make this period of your life empowering and enabling.

It’s no secret, the advantages are endless….read on to find the answer to ageing well as a woman.

Women especially are vulnerable to age related muscle and bone loss (cheers hormones!). And it starts from earlier than what you may think 😱😱😱

There’s one answer, which literally has no adverse effects on our body.

I will be the first to admit, it’s not always the thing that I want to be doing but hey, sometimes in life there is no choice if we want to look after ourselves.

Need help with dosage to manage energy levels? Need help prioritising because life is busy? Need to navigate pelvic floor concerns? I will facilitate in achieving your goals because, yes, you can!

The Neurogenic Bladder can have a devastating impact on both individuals and care givers.

It is important to establish a pre-morbid history of how your bladder behaved prior to the onset of your condition, as anything post-condition is likely to be caused by the underlying neurological disorder. However, as a clinician, I also never put all my eggs into one basket. Meaning, my job is to always look beyond the condition to see what else might be contributing to your symptoms.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy forms a key part of helping manage associated symptoms of the neurogenic bladder. Like many other conditions, a multimodal approach means better outcomes for the individual and in turn a better quality of life.

Did you know I service NDIS participants too?

I am pretty damn passionate about what I do, and am a firm believer in inclusivity, equality and accessibility.

Pelvic health can be an important part of the holistic puzzle, particularly in the neurological population. Neurogenic bowel, neurogenic bladder, sexual health, fatigue management, pelvic floor dysfunction can all be treated with a pelvic floor Physio and can be funded under the NDIS.

Is your bladder, bowel or pelvic floor impacting your quality of life and participation in the things you love? Reach out today and see how I might be able to help.

Watch out for social media accounts that promise to CURE your urinary incontinence if you buy their online program.

The research says that only 1/3 to 1/2 of women will experience 100% cure rate/no leakage with pelvic floor muscle training alone.

My advice, if something seems too good to be true it usually is. Check their credentials….what is their qualification? If they are not evidence based health practitioners then save your money.
