The WHC came about from a passion for professional development for allied health, nursing & medical professionals involved in women's health.

Esme: As a new graduate I found it difficult to find professional development in women's health that I could attend as an EP, or that took a multi-disciplinary approach. So, being a lonely solo practitioner, I met up with some other allied health professionals (osteos, physios, podiatrists, nutritionists, midwives and GP's) in my local area who shared my love for learning, and we began to teach each other! After seeing what a fantastic response we had from networking with others - the learning and improved patient outcomes - I took the WHC online to expand our collective & help educate other passionate practitioners!

Elisha: My first role as an AEP was in a musculoskeletal clinic where the majority of my clientele were female. I found some of my long term clients disclosing symptoms that I hadn’t learnt how to manage before. Worse, some of these symptoms I had never even heard of before! Fast forward to taking a course on SUI, I discovered my passion in advocating for the health of all women and people assumed female at birth. Being a young, inexperienced practitioner, I decided to reach out to Esme to see what she was doing at her clinic. She introduced me to the Women’s Health Collective where I have found a new passion facilitating education to other practitioners so that they don’t feel as lost as I ever did.

We love to see sharing of knowledge, research and clinical insights for all practitioners involved in Women's Health - from physiotherapists, exercise physiologists and sport's physicians - to midwives, nurses & dieticians. We all have a role to play, and can work together in supporting our clients!
