She is passionate about women’s health education and enjoys teaching and learning nationally, internationally and online. Welcome to my new website CelebrateMuliebrity.com, where ‘Muliebrity’ (the art & state of being a woman) is always supported and celebrated.

What is the Muliebrity Manifesto?

That women deserve better healthcare. That feeling comfort, safety and joy in our bodies is not only attainable, but our birthright.

That having fears, concerns or problems dismissed by healthcare providers as 'part of being a woman/ having babies/getting older' is unacceptable. That a knowledgeable woman is an empowered woman.

That the healthcare providers who serve women need better education; information that is up to date, evidence based, compassionate and tailored to the individual woman and all the women we serve.

I Think You Can't Move Forward With Health Unless You...

Get the foundational aspects of self care in place- good nutrition, functional movement and restorative habits- but I'm also committed to Evidence Based Medicine, which is why you won't see me recommending any particular approach without the research to back it up.

I Don't Know Who Said It, But...

I think a good clinician is a combination of physiology, physics and psychology- my job is to show the evidence and empower through education.

My aim is to help women's health professionals help women to live well

My goal is to fill your treatment toolbox with up to date evidence based strategies - that work! I want you to feel competent and confident so no matter what issue your female clients come to you with - pain, bladder or bowel issues, menstrual, maternal or menopausal problems - you have the resources here to help
