More about me

---

Michelle has extensive experience in Paediatric Physiotherapy, working exclusively in paediatric and disability physiotherapy since graduating from Curtin University in 2017, with a Bachelor of Science (Physiotherapy). Michelle has worked extensively with babies, toddlers and children in musculoskeletal and neurological fields, including disability. She has worked on both sides of the NDIS, so has a comprehensive understanding of the funding and reporting requirements. 

Michelle approaches her sessions with patience and warmth, to assist children to engage in the session at their own pace. She enjoys working with babies from birth with post-birth complications, gross motor delays and diagnosed conditions. Michelle believes that the best way to see positive outcomes is through strong family engagement and collaboration, so therapy is also occurring at home between sessions.

Michelle is a mum of 2; a 3-year-old boy and 1 year old girl and therefore understands the triumphs and challenges of engaging a child and the importance of building a program that works with the already busy life of a family.
