Physiotherapist | Researcher | Lecturer | Podcast Producer/Co-host | Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Australia Committee (WA). The journey from pain back to living can be a tough one, especially if you’re trying to navigate the complexities of the health system, new research, and the multitude of available treatments alone. I aim to simplify that for you, acting as a coach to empower you to back to living. Using a mind-body approach (sometimes called psychologically-informed physiotherapy), I help to: • Make sense of why you hurt (as there are many factors that contribute to pain, with tissue damage usually getting unfairly blamed) • Provide strategies to help you regain control of your symptoms during provocative or frightening tasks that you value • Help facilitate a lifestyle that promotes health, wellbeing, and healing in a holistic way. Grounded in research, this approach can be delivered in person or online via telehealth. My background in teaching and research at Curtin University, combined with my passion for providing digestible content means I am well positioned to support you on your growth and learning journey. Why not start by checking out our ’10 scientific facts about back pain’ infographic and videos published in the prestigious British Journal of Sports Medicine, or by checking out the podcast I co-founded and co-hosted called 'Empowered Beyond Pain'.
