MEET THE TEAM
Hi, I'm Caitlin
Caitlin is a Women’s Health & Musculoskeletal Physio, Birth Doula as well as a Pre & Postnatal Pilates & Yoga instructor.
Caitlin graduated from the University of Canberra in 2017. She started her career in private practice working with sports injuries with a special interest in hip and pelvic pain. After doing further study in Women’s Health, Caitlin worked closely with a gynaecologist in Hervey Bay, seeing Postmenopausal women with incontinence and prolapse. After seeing hundreds of postmenopausal clients, Caitlin was determined to support women during the pre and postnatal period in order to try and prevent the issues she had been seeing!
When she moved to the Sunshine Coast, Caitlin trained to be a yoga instructor and birth doula and started working closely with local midwives to support pregnant women to move safely and stay strong and active throughout their pregnancy, prepare their body for birth and optimise their recovery.
Caitlin loves working to support women throughout their Pregnancy and Postpartum as well as Post-menopausal women. She is trained in advanced prolapse and incontinence management, including pessary fittings. She is also skilled in managing overactive pelvic floor conditions such as vaginismus.
Outside of work, Caitlin is a mum to an adorable little one year old. She loves surfing, yoga and travel.

Hi, I’m Kelci
Kelci graduated from the Australian Catholic University in Brisbane, 2018, with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy before making the move to Newcastle to begin her career in the musculoskeletal physiotherapy world. She spent her early years treating everything from sports injuries, neck or back pain, to post-operative rehab and pregnancy/postnatal clients, while also teaching clinical Pilates.
During university, Kelci was fortunate to complete a placement in women’s health at the Mater Hospital, an experience that instantly sparked her passion for the field. In her new graduate year, she went on to complete her level 1 and 2 in women’s health training with the hope to focus her career in this area.
Since then, Kelci has travelled and worked in physio clinics across Australia, expanding her skills and deepening her love for supporting women through all stages of life. Her passion grew even further after experiencing her own pregnancy and the home birth of her son two years ago. This personal journey gave her a new level of understanding, empathy, and appreciation for the physical and emotional changes of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery.
Kelci has a particular passion for caring for pregnant and postnatal women, from helping manage back and pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy, to birth preparation, and guiding women safely back to exercise postpartum. She has also completed further training in prolapse and incontinence management, including pessary fittings.
When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll most likely find Kelci outdoors with her family and friends. She’s happiest hiking, mountain biking, camping, or attending a Pilates or yoga class. Her calm, active approach carries into her clinical work, empowering women to rebuild strength, feel supported, and trust their bodies.

Hi, I’m Bec
Bec graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from The University of Queensland, in Brisbane, in 2013, with First Class Honours, completing research in knee osteoarthritis. Since then, she has worked exclusively in private practice, treating the full spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions. Over the years, she has developed a particular passion for helping people with pelvic, thoracic, and low-back pain.
With a background in teaching gymnastics and Pilates, Bec brings a strong love of human movement and exercise to her practice. She’s a big advocate for strength training and is especially passionate about supporting women to feel confident moving their bodies.
In 2016, Bec completed further training in women’s health and has since spent over a decade supporting women across their lifespan – helping them return to activity and live comfortably, free from pain, prolapse symptoms, or incontinence (bladder and bowel).
She is currently completing her Master’s in Pelvic Health at Curtin University, with her research focused on endometriosis management, and is working toward becoming a titled Pelvic Health Physiotherapist. Bec also enjoys teaching as a casual academic in the School of Health at the University of the Sunshine Coast.
Patients often thank Bec for her warm, clear explanations and her ability to make complex conditions easy to understand. Her optimism and enthusiasm help people feel confident that they can get back to the activities they love.
Outside the clinic, Bec is a mum to two kids and one very scruffy Jack Russell. When she’s not chasing them around, you’ll find her with a cup of tea and a good book – or out moving her body in any way she can.

Hi, Im Mackenzie
Mackenzie has 4 years of experience as a Physiotherapist, working in a musculoskeletal setting, treating neck and back pain, upper and lower limb injuries, post-operative rehabilitation, and sports-related concerns.
When Mackenzie was growing up, her dad used to ask her to name every major bone in the body before she went to sleep. That’s what kick-started her curiosity and admiration for the human body!
Shifting the focus onto Women’s Pelvic Health has been a game-changer for Mackenzie. Helping women of all ages feel more confident and better educated about how their bodies function and how we can best support them has been incredibly empowering.
Mackenzie’s strong belief in educating and empowering women to understand the what, how, and why of their issues, and ditch the blame and self-consciousness that a lot of women feel surrounding pelvic pain and concerns. Exercise and intentional movement are a huge part of Mackenzie’s life, and one she believes is key to helping so many people experience a better quality of life.
