Catherine brings deep clinical expertise across both pelvic health and musculoskeletal physiotherapy, with a particular interest in complex presentations where systems overlap. She has spent almost 20 years working across pelvic health and musculoskeletal domains. Cat loves to see a variety of people in her work, and has often been drawn to complex cases that may require some additional curiosity and problem solving. Cat enjoys helping people navigate the co-existence of other symptoms such as dysautonomia, hypermobility, and persistent pain.
Cat’s style is steady and collaborative, grounded in trauma-informed, neuro-affirming, and gender-affirming care. Cat combines movement, strength, and nervous system awareness to help people better understand their body and rebuild capacity in a way that feels manageable and sustainable.
Cat encourages curiosity of how the body and mind work together to both protect and adapt, yet this may become limited uses her curiosity, passion and energy
Pelvic symptoms are shaped by more than the pelvic floor alone—they reflect how different systems work together and can be impacted by stress, load, breath and our lifestyle. Cat will take a thorough history and look at modifiable factors that may contribute to symptoms. Cat also recognises the delicacy of these symptoms and will explain the issues with sensitivity and empathy. She will work collaboratively to develop a management plan and adapt it according to an individual’s needs.
People with hypermobile and connective tissue presentations may experience increased physical demands due to tissue laxity, resulting in fatigue and persistent pain. Cat enjoys using movement as a form of medicine, a tool for regulation and a vessel to help us channel our energy in a way to build strength and resilience.
Cat works collaboratively with each individual to explore movements and ways to adjust and seek symptom reduction or reversibility. By working with the body and the nervous system, gradual shifts can occur to restore a sense of agency and gradually rebuild capacity. Cat helps people become aware of what factors may adjust their symptoms and this can be helpful in empowering someone to progress and adapt, as well as to help with navigating symptom recurrence.
Cat aims to provide inclusive, respectful and trauma-informed care for all people around her. Cat explores how movement and lifestyle factors may be adjusted to allow people to build autonomy, self-compassion and understanding of their body’s sensations.
