Chronic Pelvic Pain
You’ve been heard before, you should be heard here.

Chronic pelvic pain affects a large number of women, and too often the women I see have already spent years being dismissed or told it’s all in their head. It isn’t.
I have a particular interest in caring for women with chronic pelvic pain, including those who’ve struggled to access care or felt dismissed elsewhere.
There’s rarely one cause, and rarely one fix. Non-surgical care improves pain and function for many women without surgery:
Complex and individualised, and always talked through fully before any decision:
Many women develop a degree of central or peripheral sensitisation, the nervous system itself becomes part of the pain pattern, similar to phantom limb syndrome, so pain can persist even after the original cause has resolved. I’ve completed international training with the Society for Pelvic Neurology and work with women specifically to break this cycle.
Call the rooms on (08) 9567 0454, we’re here 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
“Central or peripheral sensitisation is complex, but it is genuinely treatable.”
