Hi, I’m Helen.
I’m a mother of two, Internal Pelvic Release Work practitioner, Bodyworker, Registered Nurse, Pelvic Health and Childbirth Educator, and Yoga and Meditation Teacher. I’m passionate about and experienced in supporting women to understand their bodies and be empowered in accessing the care they need and deserve.
I serve rural women, bringing care to their communities throughout central, western and southern NSW. After 16 years as a Registered Nurse and Clinical Nurse Educator in Australia and overseas, and experiencing care throughout my own pregnancy and postpartum, I became frustrated with the treatment of women in mainstream health.
I observed the expert-to-patient relationship that dominates our care of women negatively impacting women’s health and wellbeing through dismissal of symptoms, distrust of the female body and provision of inadequate care.
I know that with education, empowerment and holistic care, women can heal and thrive. You are the expert of your own pelvic wellbeing and am I honoured to guide you to reconnect with this wisdom and help you find the answers that mainstream medicine dismisses, diminishes and ignores.
I offer care in the form of Internal Pelvic Release Work, Scar Release Work, Pregnancy and Postpartum Bodywork and Childbirth Education.
I serve the women of Wagga Wagga and surrounds from Body Compass Health.
