Winnie is the founder of Papaya and is our principal physiotherapist and team leader. Her special interests are in treating dance and women’s health issues. Her role in the clinic is to lead with mission, vision, and purpose; thus she is evenly divided between treating, mentoring, and business development. She is currently completing her Masters in Pelvic Health and Incontinence at the University of Melbourne.

Following a successful dance career, Winnie moved into physiotherapy. As a physio, dancer and Pilates instructor herself, she has been passionate in working with dancers since early in her career.

Since becoming mum of 2, Winnie discovered her love in helping women with pregnancy care and recovery, incontinence, prolapse, pain, and a range of other conditions related to pelvic floor dysfunction. Her main interest lies in treating pelvic pain conditions.

Winnie brings the same level of care to all her patients. She is a firm believer that quick fixes do not last, and lasting fixes are not quick. She adapts her systematic, persistent and caring treatment approach to educate and guide you through your rehabilitation.

Outside of the clinic, Winnie is founder of The Clinic Project, and provide business consulting to other women health clinic owners to launch and scale their practices. She enjoys a quiet read, travelling, architecture, and is a mum to Darcey and Gaia.
