Tori Everard
Tori is a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist who graduated from Monash University in 2009. After spending majority of her career working in the public system, Tori’s passion for all things female came about after the birth of her first child, and since then she has completed post graduate training in the field of Women's Health and Pelvic Floor/Continence Physiotherapy and has made it her mission to ensure all women are empowered to feel the best they can. She believes that Physiotherapy can really change your life.
Tori has special interests in helping and supporting women during their childbearing years to recover and return to activities they enjoy (especially after birth trauma, instrumental deliveries and obstetric tears), breastfeeding support, and management of abdominal separation. It is her goal to help all women achieve their goals and return to happy and active lives.
Thriving mums = thriving world!
