Hi there, I’m Mikaela, and I love supporting women through all stages of life, as well as caring for their babies and children.

After completing my osteopathy studies on the Gold Coast and living and working in the beautiful Northern NSW region for many years, I recently moved to Brisbane to be closer to family and embrace my new role as an aunty.

I enjoy working with a wide range of musculoskeletal issues but have a particular interest in women’s health conditions including PCOS and endometriosis, pregnancy and postpartum care, paediatric osteopathy, and movement-based rehabilitation. I also enjoy exploring the role of the nervous system and how biomechanics interact with broader lifestyle and psychosocial factors in the experience of pain.

Particular interests in:

• Women's health conditions (particularly PCOS and endometriosis)

• Movement-based rehabilitation with a focus on nervous system regulation

• Pregnancy and postpartum care

• Babies & children

What can you expect from a consultation with me:

I like to take a comprehensive and holistic approach to treating and managing pain with an emphasis on actively involving you in your management and recovery. I aim to support my patients in understanding their diagnosis and its potential impact on the whole person, exploring how biomechanics may interconnect with other psychosocial factors. My treatment approach is tailored to suit each person’s unique needs, drawing on a combination of direct and gentle osteopathic techniques, which may include soft tissue massage, myofascial release, manipulation, visceral osteopathy, and craniosacral therapy.

I am also trained in Clinical Pilates and can offer support in pre and post partum care, injury recovery, strength building, or overall movement optimisation.

Qualifications and additional learning:

200hr Yoga Teacher Training
