Paediatric physiotherapy in the Adelaide Hills
helping every little body find its way
Gentle, play-based physiotherapy for babies, children and families, where evidence-based care meets a whole-child, mind–body approach.
Mobile visits across Adelaide and the Hills, plus online sessions.
No referral needed for private and NDIS · Medicare with a GP care plan
Why Windrose?
A windrose sits at the centre of a compass, the point where every direction meets. I chose the name because it reflects how I practise: bringing together evidence-based physiotherapy with mind–body and Eastern-inspired approaches I've studied, such as kinesiology.
​
No single way of thinking has all the answers. By drawing on different perspectives, I aim to see the whole child and family, not just the physical presentation, and to find the direction that feels right for you.

​
NORTH · MOVEMENT
Physiotherapy
Evidence-based, play-based physiotherapy for movement, strength, pain and development.
WEST · LEARNING
Teaching & research
My work in clinical education and research, teaching university students in paediatrics and neurological rehabilitation, keeps your child’s care grounded in current evidence.
EAST · MIND
Psychology
Honours training in psychology: behaviour, emotions, communication and the parent–child connection.
SOUTH · WHOLE CHILD
Kinesiology & gentle bodywork
I’ve studied Children’s Kinesiology and Emotions & Metaphysical Kinesiology, and I’m training in gentle fascial bodywork for babies. I draw on these where they fit, alongside evidence-based physio (I’m not a qualified kinesiologist).
Does this sound familiar?
✓ Tummy time is a daily battle
✓ Your baby prefers turning their head one way
✓ A flat spot on the back or side of their head
✓ Your baby feels floppy or stiff when you hold them
✓ Your toddler walks on tiptoes, or trips and falls a lot
✓ Rolling, sitting, crawling or walking later than you expected
✓ Pain that has lasted for months
✓ Very flexible, with sore joints
✓ A complex medical history or diagnosis
✓ A feeling that something isn’t quite right
You don’t need to know whether something is “wrong” before getting in touch. A first assessment offers reassurance, practical ideas and clear guidance on whether any further support may help.
Who I help
and some examples on what I support
Babies tummy time, head turning, head shape, rolling and crawling
Toddlers first steps, tiptoe walking, balance and frequent falls
Children and teens persisting pain, hypermobility and everyday activities
Families practical ideas that fit your everyday routines
Gentle, play-based sessions at home, kindy, the park or online, shaped around your child and your family.
​
What to expect
1. Book online choose a home visit or an online session
2. We talk it through what you’ve noticed and what matters to your family
3. A relaxed, play-based session at your child’s pace
4. Next steps together practical ideas, and a clear plan if more support would help
Every session is 60 minutes. Private and NDIS clients don’t need a referral; Medicare-supported sessions need a GP care plan.
