Zoe graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from LaTrobe University in 2010. She began her early career in the field of paediatric physiotherapy working both in the Early Intervention and School settings in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne in the areas of neurological and neurodevelopmental disability.
After the birth of her first child Zoe developed a special interest in working with young infants and children in the early stages of their development. She has experience in comprehensive assessment and treatment of a range of orthopaedic, developmental and neurodevelopmental conditions in children including:
Zoe is currently available at MIWM for both paediatric physiotherapy and babywearing consultations for infants and children 0-3 years old, on Wednesdays
Zoe is a qualified babywearing consultant offering 1:1 and group consultation services to families and has a special interest in teaching the use of safe and optimal babywearing to parents.
Through her own experience of wearing her own children from infancy and addiitonal studies undertaken in babywearing education and support, Zoe has gained extensive knowledge in the many benefits of babywearing both for parents and their children.
Zoe strongly advocates babywearing as an ancient and essential parenting tool which enhances parental and infant bonding and attachment. It is a powerful co-regulation tool that can improve parent and infant mental health outcomes. Babywearing supports infant physical and sensorimotor development, as well as giving parents both of their hands back! Babywearing isn’t just for babies in the first year of life. It is a powerful parenting tool for toddlers and children as well.
On her days off Zoe enjoys spending plenty of quality time at home with her husband and their two young children.
