Louise graduated in 2016 and has worked in both private practice and hospital settings. Since 2019, she has focused on women’s health and currently works on the maternity ward at Cabrini Hospital, where she also runs birth skills classes.

She enjoys supporting women through all life stages, with a special interest in the childbearing years, including pelvic girdle pain and abdominal separation. Her interest in this area led her to complete further study in pelvic floor physiotherapy, which has become a true passion. She is driven by a desire to empower women with knowledge about their bodies and help them restore function, confidence, and comfort, as well as long term wellbeing.

Outside of work, she enjoys walking along the beach with a coffee in hand, attending Pilates classes, and trying new recipes or restaurants.
