Like many others, my first experience with physiotherapy was receiving treatment for various sports injuries. After becoming a physiotherapist I became a manual therapist and started working in Women’s Health with pregnant and postpartum women. I developed a particular passion for working with women with pelvic girdle pain. I now work exclusively with women with persistent pelvic pain. I am continually inspired by these women; their struggle to manage simple day to day tasks can be heartbreaking but their courage and determination to make difficult changes is inspiring in itself. I am so thankful for the opportunity to make a difference in their lives and cannot think of a more rewarding experience. Physiotherapy is such a fantastic career; we can develop our skills into areas of practice that interest and inspire us and educational development is ongoing- we never stop learning! I appreciate learning from our vibrant physiotherapy mentors, other healthcare team members, and colleagues, as well as from the “ah ha!” moments I experience with my patients.
