Born and raised in Orange, Eloise moved to Newcastle in 2013 to pursue her Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours). After successful completion, Eloise worked as a rotating Physiotherapist at Belmont, Maitland, Gosford, and John Hunter Hospitals.

In 2018, Eloise was offered a wonderful opportunity to complete both Male and Female Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Workshops in Newcastle. This provided her a mentored transition into this unique area of physiotherapy.

In 2021, Eloise moved ‘back home’ and joined the Pinnacle Physiotherapy team. Eloise is passionate about the management of female pelvic floor conditions surrounding pelvic paincontinence and pregnancy or post-natal concerns. She is also experienced in the management of mastitis and inflammatory breast conditions and enjoys supporting women during their breastfeeding journey.

Eloise is also a strong advocate for promoting men’s health, and provides continence and pelvic floor management, alongside preparation and rehabilitation for men undergoing treatment for prostate cancer. Remaining up to date with the latest in this field, Eloise has completed a practical management course for men undergoing prostatectomy in 2021.

Eloise has also completed Workshops in Real-Time Ultrasound use for the Pelvic Floor. As a result, Eloise utilises both trans-abdominal and trans-perineal ultrasound for guidance in pelvic floor activation, relaxation, function and dynamic control in both men and women.

With a goal to promote access, awareness and education within pelvic health, Eloise has just obtained a Graduate Certificate in Public Health through Deakin University. Pelvic health is often a difficult topic to discuss, with issues often being neglected for some time. Eloise’s goal is to help her client’s take this first step, in breaching this ‘stigma’, and working together to establish a realistic management plan.

In her down-time you can find  gardening, having a hit of golf, embroidering, or spending time with her family.
