Hi, I’m Fiona.

I am a Physiotherapist and Pelvic Health Expert who is passionate about helping women of all life stages reach their health goals. I practise a holistic approach to patient care and focus on working collaboratively with my patients to optimise their path to wellness.

Early in my physiotherapy career, I developed a love for women’s and pelvic health, which led me to complete my Postgraduate Certificate in Pelvic Health Physiotherapy from the University of Melbourne in 2017. I have a special interest in Chronic Pelvic Pain, Pre & Postnatal presentations and returning to movement following gynaecological surgery.

I have worked in a number of setting including hospitals, private clinics and pelvic pain settings (as part of a multi-disciplinary team alongside sexologists). Furthermore, I am fortunate to be part of the wonderful Women’s Health Physiotherapy team at Cabrini Hospital since 2016. Here, I provide acute care to new mothers on the maternity ward and have previously led pregnancy exercise classes for mums-to-be.

My personal experience of pregnancy and birth has given me greater perspective on the challenges placed upon the body through the perinatal period, and I aim to approach my patient’s journey with care, guidance and compassion.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my growing family and focus on keeping fit and healthy through weight training and pilates practice. I’m a big lover of tea (you should see my collection) and dark chocolate (min 70% of course) and am always looking for the next destination to add to my travel list.

Hi, I’m Qianer.

I am a physiotherapist and a mum of 3 energetic and beautiful children. My interest in physiotherapy lies in helping women of all stages of life - to be empowered by knowledge and be the best versions of themselves. 

I graduated from The University of Melbourne (Honours) and began working in a private clinic with a sports and musculoskeletal caseload. I made the move over to Women's Health 8 years ago. 

I know the importance of women's health physiotherapy and advocacy and believes that all women who seek help should be treated with attention, expertise and care - Whether you are a new mum juggling the challenges that motherhood brings, suffering new symptoms during your perimenopausal years, or debilitating pelvic pain wanting an advocate for gaining control.

Over recent years, I has undergone further training and studies and continually strives to keep up to date with current research in the areas of incontinence, antenatal/postpartum care, prolapse, sexual/pelvic pain and defecation dysfunctions.

In my spare time, I love cooking to nourish my family and travelling to new and wonderful places nearby or afar.
