Hi, I'm Katelyn
I'm a paediatric physiotherapist based in Melbourne, and I'm passionate about helping children build confidence, develop movement skills and discover what they're capable of through play.
My path into physiotherapy has been a little unconventional. I'm originally from the United States and spent years working with children as a volleyball coach, nanny and mentor before becoming a physiotherapist. Sport has always been a huge part of my life. I completed my undergraduate studies in Business and Communications at Oregon State University, where I played collegiate volleyball, before pursuing professional volleyball overseas in the Philippines.
My journey eventually brought me to Australia, where I've called home for the past seven years. I completed my Doctor of Physiotherapy at the University of Melbourne and, after graduating, knew that working with children was where I wanted to focus my career, bringing together my clinical training, love of movement and lifelong passion for supporting children.

Outside of physio
A little about me
When I'm not working, you'll usually find me enjoying the outdoors, catching up with friends and family, planning my next adventure, crocheting something new, or hanging out with my two much-loved kittens and husband.
I love meeting new people and hearing their stories, and I bring that same curiosity and appreciation for each person's journey into my work. Getting to know the child and the people who matter most to them is one of my favourite parts of being a paediatric physiotherapist.
Ultimately, I aim to be a physiotherapist that children feel comfortable with, families can trust and everyone feels they can be themselves around. I'm here to listen, collaborate, celebrate progress and work alongside you through the challenges, the little wins and everything in between.
