I’m a mum of 3 grown-up kids (1 boy and 2 girls) who entered into the world both via 1 x “normal” delivery although with a few “hurdles”, and 2 Caesareans 31, 28 and 27 years ago.

​

I lived and worked in Singleton for many years and apart from being a physiotherapist in both private practice and the hospital, I also taught antenatal classes for many years with the hospital and community health nurses there.

I love being a physiotherapist (just as well as I’ve been doing it for 34 years!!) and have found my niche at various times with sports, women’s health, pain management, and occupational physiotherapy. I’ve also become very involved in the more holistic side of health- by that I mean I like to look at the whole person, body, mind and spirit and use lots of aromatherapy, hypnotherapy, holistic counselling, exercise prescription, as well as the normal manual therapy and massage components of physio.

 

At present I have my own private holistic physiotherapy practice in Merewether, I perform early intervention physiotherapy at Eraring Power Station, and I teach Hypnobirthing.

​

I love how strong and amazing the pregnant woman is and the entire miracle of conception, pregnancy, birth and beyond, and I absolutely love being a Hypnobirthing Australia ™ Childbirth Educator!

 

I feel that it is a wonderfully informative, empowering programme that imparts so many skills and strategies to the expecting couple. These skills and strategies include all the things I am most interested in: education, hypnosis, visualisation, affirmations, massage, relaxation, pain management, acupressure, aromatherapy, breathing just to mention a few!!!

​

As a physio I feel I am in a great position to address many aspects of pregnancy, birth and beyond using education, massage, electrotherapy, exercise and Pilates prescription, women’s health knowledge and skills, and my post graduate qualifications in Pain Management,  Mental Health Practice and Holistic Counselling.
