Helping you move well, feel strong & build your armoury for lifelong wellbeing 🤍 While she enjoys treating all manner of conditions, her passion lies firmly with women’s health and sports injury management. After leaving high school, Kathy joined the Royal Australian Air Force before following her heart to pursue a career in health. While Kathy now practices as a physiotherapist, she also holds qualifications as a Sport Scientist and Gut Health Practitioner, and she is currently studying Aromatherapy Consulting. Family and personal health challenges led Kathy to embrace a low-tox lifestyle and be creative in managing the mechanisms to achieve this while being a busy working mum. This personal journey inspired her to integrate holistic healthcare principles and practices into the management of her clients. Kathy has a deep interest in the unique challenges relating to Women’s Health and has undertaken further training in this area, allowing her to assist with pelvic floor and continence issues. She has worked in tertiary and rural hospitals, rural private practice and as a contractor for the ADF. She is passionate about combining her manual therapy skills with exercise-based rehabilitation in order to help her clients overcome injuries or surgery, return to work and sport, and improve their quality of life. Kathy aims to empower her clients to be active participants in managing their health, working with you to optimise your wellness journey.

Yesterday was one of those days where I spent a lot of time right back at the foundations.

So many of my clients didn’t need anything fancy or complex. They needed time, attention, and a return to the basics. The small things. The essentials.

How you sit. How you breathe. How you move through your day without even thinking about it.

These are the things we do hundreds of times every day… and when something’s not quite right, it adds up.

But the flip side? Small, simple changes, done consistently, can create the biggest shifts.

It’s not always about doing more. Sometimes it’s about doing the everyday things, just a little differently.

A good reminder (for my clients and for me) that the essentials really do matter 🤍

I’ve been having a few conversations lately with local clubs about what it actually means to have someone on the sidelines who knows how to respond when an injury happens.

Not a physio. Not a medic. Just someone with the right foundational skills and confidence to step in, support players, and make those first important decisions.

A Sports Trainer course teaches practical, hands-on skills for managing injuries, applying strapping, and providing confident on-field support.

It’s also how I first started out. Before I was a physio, I was on the sidelines learning how to tape ankles, assess injuries, and be part of a team in a different way. Those early experiences shaped so much of how I practice now.

I really enjoy delivering this kind of training and helping the people who are already there to support their teams every week feel confident and prepared.

If you’re part of a club looking to organise a course, or just curious about what’s involved, I’m always happy to have a chat 🤍

I'm looking forward to joining Fi and Tracey from Sista of Soul at their Holistic Childbirth Education classes later today.

I'll be sharing the pelvic floor education component, helping couples better understand how their bodies work, what's normal and how this knowledge can support birth, recovery and long term wellbeing.

It's a privilege to collaborate with these two passionate midwives as they support families in our region.

🌟 The Christmas season is my favourite time of the year. It’s also a time where many people find themselves buzzing, stressed and often in pain thanks to the whirlwind this time of year can generate.

Now, more than ever, it’s important to take some moments of self care.

✨Schedule a five minute mindfulness meeting with yourself
✨Practice Yoga or Pilates
✨Exercise
✨Walk outdoors
✨Joiurnal
✨Soak in a hot bath with magnesium salts flakes and relaxing essential oils
✨Use breathwork practices, even something super simple like five silent breaths in and then focusing on a long gentle exhale
✨Traditions that bring you peace and joy during the festive season
✨Be aware of who and what you surround yourself with, so as not to drain your emotional battery
✨Use your essential oil diffuser with a blend of calming and uplifting aromas

Why does it matter? Because stress and tension can drive pain and inflammation. But we can consciously choose calm, serenity and joy, keeping our nervous system regulated and pain at bay. I’m also here to help if you’re struggling with pain, tension or overwhelm. Bookings are available for either physiotherapy or Pellowah sessions throghout the Chrsitmas and New Year period.

So this Christmas season, love your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies by taking some mindful moments to recharge

…and maybe enjoy a homemade gingerbread if it soothes your soul too 🫚 Here’s my favourite tried and tested “healthier” gingerbread recipe. It’s been a tradition in my family for about 15 years now. Rest assured it’s in some lunchboxes today!! A double batch will yield you an incredible gingerbread house too 🎄
