I have the firm belief that if you can empower people to understand the cause of their symptoms, this knowledge often allows them to move better, and with more confidence, which in turn facilitates a better recovery. Supporting you to get back to doing what makes you you, whether that be through exercise, manual therapy, acupuncture, pilates… is always my aim.

Having had my first little girl 6 years ago, I was shocked at how different my body felt postnatally and at the pelvic symptoms I was experiencing. I felt somewhat lost as to where to begin when returning to exercise and when looking to prevent long term problems occurring. This is where my passion for pelvic health began, empowering, informing and treating women of all ages. I combine my broad background in musculoskeletal physiotherapy with my pelvic health expertise to understand what’s important and required for your body to provide the best recovery.

Excellent physiotherapist, I felt so confident that Mel knew the resolution to my neck pain and she fixed it. I now also take her pilates classes. I’ve been practising pilates for almost 10 years and I have never experienced a better teacher who ensures it’s safe while also allowing you to achieve the level you feel comfortable at. Thank you.

I’ve been working with Mel for chronic lower back pain. The initial assessment was really insightful, she was able to identify the causes and provided me with exercises that provided relief and helped to build strength straight away. I’ve done a lot of yoga and Pilates in the past but working 1 on 1 has helped bring a new level of awareness of my body and starting to undo the habits causing my pain. Mel’s great to work with, really approachable and a great motivator. I would highly recommend her!

Mel’s Pilates class is the highlight of my week. It has really helped to reduce my lower back problems and my core strength has definitely improved. The classes are friendly and fun, as well as progressive, so you can always push yourself harder if you want to. They’re suitable for all abilities, and everyone is made to feel welcome. Would highly recommend.

Mel has been treating me since the birth of my second child. I started seeing her 6 weeks post partum for pelvic floor issues. Mel has been fantastic at listening to me and tailoring my treatment to my goals. I would definitely recommend seeing Mel during pregnancy and post partum. I feel so much more confident and stronger thanks to Mel.

Saw Mel for lower back pain. Diagnosed the problem and was very thorough, had follow up appointment and felt so much better straight away. Mel was amazing at treating it. Wanted some exercise’s to strengthen my back as well and Mel took the time to work through them with me, she was so thorough and patient also very knowledgeable. Mel was recommended to me and I can see why

I have been seeing Mel for both physio and pilates. She has helped me to get back to running postnatally, and with a much stronger body than before. She has a realistic view of motherhood and the challenges that come with it, so will meet you where you are with understanding and a positive attitude. I highly recommend.
