With over 16 years of experience in the field of Women’s and Pelvic Health Physiotherapy, Jaime has been fortunate enough to work in the largest Maternity hospital in Australia at the Mater Mothers’ in Brisbane and Qld Health for 10 years, before going privately into her work with pelvic health. She has liaised alongside specialist Gynecologists, Urogynaecologists, Colorectal surgeons and Pain Doctors, and treated countless patients across the lifespan from teenage years to the elderly, both male and female.

Jaime has completed post-graduate study and many advanced courses in pelvic health; taught university students both on an undergraduate and postgraduate level; presented at international conferences; and headed the Allied Health teams for Persistent Pelvic Pain clinics in the areas of Endometriosis and Pelvic Mesh injuries.

Jaime loves working with all pelvic health clients in helping them to understand their conditions, to know their options, and champion them to take control of their rehabilitation to optimise their outcomes.

Jaime is qualified to fit pessaries for pelvic organ prolapse management, and is a qualified Level 4 DMA Clinical Pilates instructor as well, so individualised exercise prescription is a large part of her treatment approach.

Outside of work, you’ll find Jaime either spending bulk time with her dogs, practising Pilates, climbing a mountain, at any live music she can find (a sucker for RnB and the 90s!), or down at the beach.

Jaime is available for Pelvic Health appointments at our Baringa, Caloundra, Nambour, and Kawana clinics.
