At Wise, physiotherapy is more than treating symptoms, it’s about understanding you as a whole person. I take time to explore not just how your body moves or where it hurts, but how your sensations, emotions, thoughts, relationships, and life context all shape your experience of pain. Pain is complex and deeply human. Rather than isolating it to just the physical, I support you to tune into how your body responds in different environments and around different people. This broader, more relational view helps us uncover what your body might be holding, and what it might be ready to shift.

Not at all. I work with people experiencing all kinds of pain - acute, persistent, fluctuating, or hard-to-pin-down. I also support those navigating emotional pain that shows up physically, or who are simply curious about how their body holds and responds to stress, emotion, and life experience. You don’t need to fit a specific box, just a willingness to explore in a way that’s thoughtful, gentle, and maybe even a little surprising (cheese jokes optional, but always welcome).

After 15 years in private practice, I saw how rushed, weekly appointments often left little space for meaningful change. They can unintentionally position the physio as the ‘fixer’ - rather than supporting you to develop your own understanding and agency. At Wise, longer sessions give us time to slow down, listen closely, and explore the deeper patterns shaping your pain. This spaciousness invites new insights and supports integration between sessions, which may be spaced fortnightly or monthly depending on your needs.

Yes, I can. In my current space, I have access to weights and open space to move, offering privacy and flexibility during our sessions. More importantly, I take an individualised approach that grows out of our deeper exploration together. Rather than prescribing a generic routine, we pay close attention to how your body responds to movement, load, and emotion, so what emerges is a program that’s both purposeful and sustainable. It becomes more tailored, meaningful, and efficient, because it’s grounded in your actual needs, not just your symptoms.

Yes, I use touch as part of my approach, but not in the traditional sense of "fixing, releasing, or realigning". Touch can support nervous system regulation, bring awareness to different parts of the body, and gently clarify body boundaries. It’s always guided by clear consent and approached in a trauma-informed, collaborative way. Touch may be used to support breath, movement, or connection, but only if and when it feels right for you.

No, you do not need a referral to see me.

I’d love to find a way to make it work. There are many barriers to care in our current healthcare system, especially for marginalised communities. At Wise, I aim to offer a welcoming space for all - this includes neurodivergent, trans, non-binary and gender-diverse people, and those navigating financial hardship. I hold a number of reduced-fee spots in my caseload, depending on availability. If reaching out feels vulnerable, we can connect in a way that feels most comfortable for you - by phone, email, or another option that suits you. If you’re reaching out, you’re welcome to let me know what support you’re seeking and what you need to feel safe or seen. We can take it from there, together.

Yes, you can use an EPC (Enhanced Primary Care) plan from your GP. It currently covers $60.35 per session. Please note, you will need to pay the gap fee yourself, as this is not covered by private health insurance.

Golly, I have done 21 in the past and that was pretty painful 🙈 Never again. Right now, I would say 2 max ...
