I am an experienced physiotherapist with 12 years in practice, working with a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. My background includes extensive work in spinal care, as well as sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and exercise-based recovery programs. I aim to help clients not only overcome pain and injury, but also improve mobility, strength, and long-term resilience. After graduating from La Trobe University, I began my career at Back In Motion Blackburn, progressing from associate to Clinical Services Coordinator and Co-Director. These roles gave me the opportunity to mentor clinicians, collaborate with GPs, and design patient-centred programs while continuing to manage a diverse clinical caseload. I also have strong experience delivering care through telehealth, supporting clients remotely via one-on-one consultations and guided exercise plans. In addition, I have extensive experience in clinical Pilates, including designing programs and running group classes to support rehabilitation, injury prevention, and performance. My approach is practical, evidence-based, and tailored to each individual - whether your goal is returning to sport, recovering after surgery, or managing ongoing back or joint pain.

Hi, I'm Victoria and I am here to help you achieve health in all seasons, no matter where you are starting from. I am passionate about seeing people heal from chronic disease and improve their mental and physical health. I am an AARPN registered Certified Practicing Nutritionist (CPN) with a bachelors degree in Clinical Nutrition. I believe in nutrition and lifestyle first, because if the foundation is poor you can throw every supplement under the sun at your body and it will only produce short term results at best. I am able to offer functional pathology testing and as an AARPN recognised CPN I have TGA schedule 1 exemption, meaning under Australian Law I have independent prescribing capacity and can prescribe personalised compounded nutraceuticals and practitioner only products to patients. My life experience and academic interests have drawn me to many areas of focus, particularly mitochondrial and metabolic dysfunction and the impacts it has on brain health; particularly mental health (including mood disorders - Bipolar Disorders, Major Depressive Disorder, GAD, and Panic Disorders) neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD & ASD), neuro-inflammation and cognitive decline. I have undertaken continued education in: - Clinical Care for Autistic Adults (Harvard Medical School) - Common Causes and Treatments of Depression in Children and Adolescents (Stanford School of Medicine) - Women’s Health: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (Stanford School of Medicine) Please note: EPC/ Chronic care plans are for patients without Private Health Insurance.

Hi my name is Tayla, I am an accredited practicing dietitian who is invested in supporting individuals in working towards their goals in a sustainable and achievable way. It was through my own lived experience that I found a desire to become a dietitian. I value ensuring participants foster positive relationships with food, their body’s and exercise and will work with them every step of the way to achieve this, because I want to help individuals see that finding a positive relationship with food, exercise and their body is possible. I also have a key interest in working with athletic populations (or retired athletes) and working on their relationship with food to support their training. I acknowledge that disordered eating/eating disorders and body image concerns amongst athletic population is prevalent and I want to be there to help prevent as well as support those athletes in their unique journey within their sport. You are welcome to connect with me via email: [email protected] if you'd like to arrange an appointment
