Kathryn graduated from the University of Sydney with first class Honours and has worked in a range of areas including Sydney's North Shore and Northern beaches. Prior to physiotherapy, Kathryn gained a love of human movement and healthy living through her exposure to dance and netball.

She has a particular interest in Pilates and Women's Health - specific to assisting women with problems such as continence, pelvic organ prolapse and pre/post natal recovery.
