Natasha is a warm, passionate physiotherapist and co-founder of Secret Women’s Business with more than 20 years of experience. Following a number of years delivering physiotherapy in the public sector, Natasha moved into private practice where she gained experience treating a range of musculoskeletal injuries and then began specialising in women’s health, continence, lower back and pelvic pain.

Specialising in the area of women’s health since 2011, Natasha is thorough in her patient care approaching every consultation with empathy and understanding. Natasha is an experienced physiotherapist in all areas of women’s health physiotherapy including supporting women with incontinence, bladder and bowel dysfunction, prolapse, pelvic pain, pain with intercourse, pregnancy and the post-partum period, pessary fitting and management.
