Hi, I’m Clare, I’ve been a Physiotherapist for over 10 years, with much of my clinical experience in respiratory care. I am passionate about helping people understand their breathing and supporting them to manage respiratory conditions or breathing concerns in a way that fits their life. 

I’m based on the Sunshine Coast and provide physiotherapy sessions both face-to-face and via Telehealth, so I can work with people locally and further afield.

After qualifying in the UK, I worked within the NHS across a range of settings, including intensive care, acute respiratory care related to major illness or surgery and with people living with chronic respiratory conditions. Over this time I have gained experience working with conditions such as asthma, COPD, bronchiectasis, pneumonia and neuromuscular disorders. As well as gaining skills in a range of different treatment methods, these experiences taught me the importance of tailoring care to each individual and understanding the broader context of their daily life and goals.

I have a particular clinical interest in breathing pattern disorders having completed further training to becoming a Certified BradCliff® Breathing Practitioner. I am fascinated by the role that breathing plays in nervous system regulation, pain, fatigue, physical performance and overall wellbeing.

My approach to physiotherapy is person-centred and individualised. I provide assessment and treatment that is evidence-based, tailored to the individual, and relevant to their daily life.

Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors at the beach and in the ocean.
