Nicole (she/her) has over 10 years of physiotherapy experience from post surgery rehabilitation in hospitals to prenatal fitness and chronic condition management.
Having a strong interest in the arts industry, Nicole graduated from her Bachelor of Health Science & Arts Degree with majors in Dance, Drama, Exercise Science and Psychology. She then completed a Doctor of Physiotherapy at the University of Melbourne. Here she had the privilege of gaining experience with circus performers and professional ballet dancers.
While working at a busy West End clinic and exclusively on touring theatre productions, Nicole first began specialising in treating and preventing performance-related injuries. She has a strong belief in educating and empowering performers to optimise their physical health and prevent injuries. Nicole’s passion for vocal physiotherapy has expanded from supporting professional singers to optimise their instrument, to working alongside voice specialists to help voice users overcome muscle tension related voice concerns.
Over the years, Nicole has supported a high number of touring and resident musical theatre and stage shows across Europe and Australasia. She enjoys working closely with the cast and crew to minimise injury risk and support individuals through the recovery process.
Nicole has personal experience with scoliosis, resulting in major surgery in her teens. She understands the complex nature of overcoming significant health and fitness hurdles and how it can impact all aspects of your life.
Nicole uses manual therapy, dry needling as well as specific and progressive exercise when managing injuries. She has a passion for not only the performer but also the recreational athlete and office warrior!
