Laura has completed extensive clinical pilates courses through Polestar Pilates Australia and Dance Medicine Australia and has been teaching clinical pilates classes alongside her osteopathy treatments for 12 years.
Laura is particularly passionate about pre and post natal health, in particular helping women recover and rebuild post natally. During her masters study she completed a thesis involving the measurement of transversus abdominjs (core muscle) using real time ultrasound. This passion has only strengthened since the birth or her three children.
Laura has completed a pelvic health course that further allows her to support women with pelvic floor dysfunction and pelvic pain. She is now offering assessment and treatment both internal and external of pelvic floor concerns.

– Bladder incontinence or urgency
– Chronic pelvic, coccyx, hip, low back or perineal pain
– Endometriosis, adenomyosis, interstitial cystitis
– Caesarean and perineal scar tissue pain or restriction
– Dyspareunia (painful intercourse)
– Painful periods
– Pudendal neuralgia
– Vulvodynia & vaginismus
– Postpartum check-up and prolapse management
Laura had completed further study into specific courses on Pregnancy, sports injury rehab and running biomechanics.
Laura was an elite school swimmer and then has since competed in triathlons and half marathons and she loved being involved in the management of athletes of all abilities- especially weekend warriors!
Laura looks forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your health goals.
