Who are we?
Expert Paediatric Physiotherapy and Child Development Support in the Hills.
Meet Hannah
Hannah has been honing her skillset in physiotherapy over the last decade and has definitely found her passion in paediatrics. She brings a fun, positive and family focused mentality to her practice and is always looking for creative ways to promote motor development in our little ones.
Hannah is an expert in her field - she is highly regarded by her peers and collaborates with the best team of paediatricians, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, podiatrists & orthotists in the Hills area. She has a highly specialised skillset in infant development and neurological assessment and has a wide breadth of knowledge across all areas of paediatric healthcare.
Hannah strives not just to achieve milestones, but to support and uplift the child to believe in themselves and build their own confidence. Those that have seen Hannah for a while know the mantra she tells her kids, “You are strong. You are brave. You can do hard things”.
Specialty Skillsets
Hannah studied a Bachelor of Physiotherapy at the Australian Catholic University. Since graduating, she has completed hundreds of hours of further study and training in the area of paediatrics and is always learning.

Meet Ashna
Ashna is a passionate paediatric physiotherapist who brings a warm, fun attitude to her work with children and their families. She enjoys creating engaging and supportive therapy environments where children can build confidence while developing their physical skills.
Specialty Skillsets
She graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from Australian Catholic University. During her studies, she gained valuable hands-on experience working as a paediatric physiotherapy aide for many years, supporting children of all ages and abilities—from toddlers through to teenagers.
Ashna has completed further training at Sydney Children’s Hospital Randwick, where she still works part time as well. In an acute hospital setting, she developed broad clinical experience across several specialty areas including ICU and respiratory care, orthopaedics, and outpatient clinics.
Ashna has a particular interest in working with toddlers and school-aged children, and loves helping kids achieve their gross motor goals. Whether it’s jumping, developing ball skills, or learning to ride a bike, she enjoys supporting children to build the strength, coordination, and confidence they need to participate in school, sport, and community activities.
Outside the Therapy Room
Outside of the physio world, Ashna loves to stay active and is a keen netball player. She is also passionate about music and often spends her time singing or playing the guitar and piano.
