Nicole has worked with sporting populations for many years as an official provider for the Melbourne University Sport Elite Athlete Program & representative teams. This has allowed her to gain experience working with athletes across many different levels and many different sports.

She has recently completed training as a Women’s Health physiotherapist and is looking forward to using her musculoskeletal knowledge to help women in their antenatal and postnatal journey. She is a firm advocate for injury prevention and loves taking the time to present to other health-minded groups about things they can do to keep in good health for the long-term.

Nicole has been practicing Ridgway Method for over ten years and became a Ridgway Method Certified Educator in 2017. This has allowed her to share her knowledge with other physios in the industry by presenting at professional development events and seminars.

Personal Interests
