ABOUT ME
Hi! I’m Angie. I’m a New Zealand trained Physiotherapist with a special interest in both neurological rehabilitation and pelvic health. I graduated from AUT University in 2009 and subsequently worked in a variety of neuro rehabilitation settings including acute, rehabilitation and community, in NZ, Melbourne and London. For the past 3 years I’ve managed the physiotherapy service on an acute stroke unit in a busy central London hospital.
After having a baby in 2020 in the UK I became interested in the world of pelvic health. Mum’s I met through antenatal groups were lacking education and advice regarding their post natal recovery, and had very limited knowledge around how to safely return to physical exercise. Since then I have been on a mission to learn all I can about pelvic health conditions including how to support mums on their journey both pre and postnatally.
I have completed Mummy MOT courses in the UK followed by several courses in NZ run by SAND’s and Melissa Davidson (internals and intermediate course).
I have a special interest in spasticity management and return to running rehabilitation for both my neuro and pelvic health clients.
In my spare time you’ll find me running, swimming or relaxing at the beach with my toddler now we are lucky enough to call Whangamata home.
MY APPROACH
I take an open, caring and dynamic approach to your rehabilitation, keeping your goals and aspirations at the heart of how your therapy is tailored. I believe no one size fits all and each program needs to be centered around what is most important to you.
A firm believer of any movement is good movement, I incorporate principles from a variety of activities – yoga, pilates, strength and conditioning training, horseback riding, you name it! I love getting creative and thinking outside the square, looking at how best to facilitate you in your journey to being a stronger, healthier and happier version of yourself. I take a holistic approach to rehabilitation and incorporate all aspects of your health (physical, mental, emotional, psychological) into my practice.
I always try to keep sessions fun and enjoyable while ensuring my treatments are grounded in the latest research and evidence based practise. I thrive on being part of a journey, seeing my clients progress from injury or conditions restricting their day to day lives, to feeling empowered through knowledge, and being able to manage their conditions independently.
