Supporting children to develop movement, strength and mobility, from early motor development through to complex physical needs.
Our Physiotherapists support children across movement, mobility and physical development, with therapy shaped around each child's abilities, goals and everyday life.

Building strength, function and possibility
At BOOM Kids Clinic, therapy is built around the individual child and what matters most to them and their family. Our Physiotherapists work closely with families to set meaningful goals and develop practical therapy programs that consider the child's abilities, everyday routines and environments. From developing early movement skills through to mobility, equipment, rehabilitation and greater independence, our focus is on helping each child get the most from their movement and participate more fully in everyday life.

Love walking especially now I have my dog Turbo who keeps me company! I can do a handstand and walk on my hands!
Completing my 4th year clinical placement at the Children’s hospital really solidified that I wanted to be a Physiotherapist who worked with children. Knowing that I could make a difference to not only the child’s life but the family unit as a whole was extremely rewarding.
Starting off with a smaller, less complex caseload, five years later I am currently seeing 90% complex cases, while also working with new graduate physios as the team leader. I've experienced lots of new learning opportunities including being trained in DMI, e-stim, pediasuit and spider cage therapy as well as serial casting.
Working with complex children and helping them work towards achieving their goals whether it would be learning to crawl, stand, walk, jump or catch a ball. Seeing the child and their family work hard to work towards achieving their goals and then to be able to implement that in the community or home setting to allow for inclusive participation with their friends or siblings is extremely rewarding.
On my days off, I love hiking as being outdoors in nature allows me to recharge for the upcoming week. I also enjoy planning overseas trips annually, immersing myself in diverse cultures and experiences. I dedicate my spare time to volunteer work, cherishing the chance to contribute positively to my community while fostering connections beyond the boundaries of my daily routine.
From a young age, I became involved in volunteer work, and my interest in the disability sector blossomed as I met and worked alongside inspiring clients and families facing various challenges. Seeking opportunities to create positive change in my community became a priority, and I found immense fulfilment in my degree, which equipped me with the skills to make a positive change in my community.
The clinic has provided invaluable support in nurturing my personal and professional endeavours, including participation in professional development courses aimed at launching our Physiotherapy and multidisciplinary intensive programs. It brings me great joy to witness the remarkable progress our clients achieve during these intensives, as it empowers them with newfound independence and engagement opportunities.
My work excites me everyday as I can be the driving force for positive change in the lives of the children and families I work with. This is in line with my personal mission statement. Each day presents a unique experience, as I engage with a diverse caseload and have the privilege of interacting with clients in various settings. Embracing this dynamic environment, where no two days are alike, is a source of immense joy and fulfilment for me.
I love all things creative! I am obsessed with musical theatre, so you’ll always catch me having a little sing or a dance. I also enjoy all kinds of crafts; sewing, knitting and most recently, crocheting!
I’ve actually wanted to be a Physiotherapist since the first time I went to see my own one at age 8! I truly felt drawn to the career from such a young age and from that moment on, I was determined to achieve it. I have always been passionate about working with children and I love being creative and empowering children throughout their therapy journey. Thus, being a Paediatric Physiotherapist is an absolute dream!
I have been lucky enough to work exclusively in the Paediatric space, where I have built skills in treating musculoskeletal, neurological and respiratory conditions. I am very passionate about giving children the tools that they need to live a more functional and independent life.
My favourite moments of each day are being able to see the pride children and their support systems feel when progress is made. Being able to build close relationships with our clients and their caregivers truly sparks so much joy in my day! A smile, a giggle, a happy tear- they all combine to fill up my cup.
A referral isn't required to book an initial appointment, though your funding type (such as NDIS, Medicare or private health) may have its own requirements. Let us know your situation when you get in touch and we'll guide you through it.
There's no set age. We work with babies through to teenagers, and many families start as soon as a delay or difficulty is noticed, since earlier support often means better outcomes.
This depends entirely on your child's goals and needs. Some children benefit from weekly sessions, others from fortnightly visits or block/intensive programs. We'll recommend a plan after your first assessment.
We ask parents and carers to be very involved. That means helping set the goals for your child, being active in sessions rather than just observing, and practising with your child between appointments. The more involved you are, the better and faster the results tend to be.
Your therapist will give you practical, tailored strategies and a home program designed to fit into your family's everyday routine.
Whether you're a family or professional, we're here to help.
