Nat values her ability to assist people in their rehabilitation management and recovery. She has an engaged and friendly approach and guides her patients with empathy. Natalie believes that if people understand the nature of their injury, that knowledge can be powerful in both the initial recovery and ongoing management of their condition.
Nat’s favourite days as a physiotherapist are when she feels she has really cleared something up for a patient who has been struggling to understand the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of their injury or concern. She also enjoys collaborating with her Active teammates and sharing her clinical knowledge in musculoskeletal physiotherapy with others.
After having children of her own, and experiencing the impact continence issues can have on a child and their support network, Nat has developed a passion for work with the Mars Clinic. She loves interacting with young people and working towards long-term solutions.
A developing special interest for Nat is the management of Breast Care; she appreciates the special position we hold in someone’s breast care journey and wishes to provide well-informed, supportive care in this space.
Nat enjoys leading an active lifestyle. She loves spending time with her children, camping and travelling, particularly back to her homeland, New Zealand.
