About Smilestones
I am a Paediatric Physio who has worked purely with children with disabilities my entire career. It's a specialty area that I am extremely passionate about. I have experience with very complex, and very rare conditions (see exact conditions I've treated under the services tab). My approach is unique, challenging and rewarding. Together we push the boundaries, try new things, and celebrate the good. I encourage therapy breaks and community inclusion. I can't stress enough the importance of having time to just be a parent, just be a kid, build your community supports, and enjoy your family time together outside of therapy.
I am also passionate about giving back to the world, and community. I have now done two trips overseas where I worked with children in Orphanages as a volunteer - in Vietnam and South Africa. I hope to do many more in the future. I believe that everyone deserves access to therapy, regardless of your financial situation. So please don't hesitate to reach out if you can't afford my rates. I can work with you and your budget.
When I am not at work I am often enjoying the outdoors. If the sun is out, I am out. I love hiking, beach days, camping, and travelling (ask me about my 3 month backpacking adventure).
