Hi there. I’m Liz and I’m the resident Osteopath-yogi at Pivot Osteopathy.
I have over 17 years of experience in treating a wide variety of people and conditions, including women’s pelvic issues, newborns, pregnant women, elite athletes and the elderly and I am still passionate about osteopathy! In recent years I have devoted my studies toward women’s health and pelvic floor issues. I have an in-depth knowledge of yoga, breathing and meditation that I can share with you.
I relocated to Brisbane in early 2020 with my husband and 4 year old daughter and have loved the lifestyle change this move has brought.
I have particular interests in:
Women’s health, particularly in pelvic pain and supporting women through their journey of pregnancy and beyond,
Chronic pelvic pain
The treatment of babies and children
Assisting people in trauma recovery
What you can expect from a consultation with me:
As an Osteopath I will endeavor to identify the cause of your pain and formulate a treatment plan specific to your needs, to not only help with your presenting complaint but also help restore overall health and wellbeing. Through body awareness, mindfulness and breath work I will aim to empower you to achieve your health goals.
Qualifications and additional learning:
I pursue excellence in my work and I love to learn.
I have completed a post graduate certificate in neonatal and paediatric manual therapy, which provided me with the skills to diagnose infant musculoskeletal disorders, assess spinal and primitive reflexes, and monitor developmental milestones.
I have also completed extensive studies in the areas of; women’s health, including both internal and external pelvic floor diagnosis and treatment to help with all aspects of pelvic floor dysfunction, osteopathy in the cranial field and visceral osteopathy.
I am a qualified yoga and prenatal yoga teacher and mindfulness teacher. I love sharing yoga, breath awareness and mindfulness with my patients to assist in the healing process.
