Meet Libby

​

I'm thrilled to be part of the Evolving Pain team and bringing my passion and years of experience to help clients understand the many connections between pelvic health conditions and pain.

​​

Clients are often distressed, embarrassed and ashamed to admit they experience bladder and bowel problems that are sadly common to a large percentage of the population. These are topics that are not freely discussed and a major frustration of mine in helping people know and seek appropriate help.

​

My other frustration is in other health professionals not understanding the impact of these conditions on other aspects of their care or exercise requirements. I  have a holistic view of the person in front of me. We explore what it is that they feel they can’t do and set about making a plan to achieve that with them. 

​

I love to educate and reassure my clients that these conditions can be treated, empowering them with knowledge about the capacity of their bodies and celebrating the possibility for change. 

​​​

Examples of problems I like to help solve are:

​

• All things bladder and bowel (frequency, urgency, pain, incontinence).

• Pelvic floor problems (weak muscles, difficulty relaxing muscles, painful sex, endometriosis, painful periods).

• Recovery after surgery  (eg. endo, gynae, prostate).

​

​Outside of supporting people at Evolving Pain, I am a keen tennis player, patch worker, reader and most importantly love spending time with my family,  including the magic world of grandchildren.
