healthcare with humanity
wise
Hi, my name is Kit.
I’m a physiotherapist trained in Hakomi, a mindful somatic psychotherapy, with a master's in wellbeing science.
At Wise, I support you by integrating your physical health with your emotional and mental wellbeing, recognising how they influence each other.
In many healthcare systems, our physical, emotional, and mental health are treated separately. I believe real wellbeing comes from seeing the whole picture and better understanding our complexity.
My approach is grounded in presence, connection, and honesty. Together, we tune into your body’s wisdom, exploring how your mind and body shape your experiences, cultivating greater understanding and clarity.
I offer services in physiotherapy and pain management, emotional health, practitioner support, and workplace health.
I work with neurodivergent, trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse people, using a HAES, size-inclusive approach, committed to prioritising safety and connection for the people and communities I work alongside.
wise care
Exploring the innate wisdom of our bodies reveals valuable insights into our relationship with pain and movement. While this journey can be challenging, it is also deeply nourishing, allowing us to honour our body’s intelligence.
Has your perspective and your body’s wisdom been fully valued in healthcare?
Too often, healthcare systems overlook the client’s experience, focusing more on fixing problems than truly listening. This approach can disempower, minimise, and even harm those seeking support.
And traditional models of knowledge often prioritise cognition over the intelligence of the whole body, leading to a disconnect.
By reconnecting with our bodymind through grace, curiosity, and compassion, we cultivate a deeper understanding and a new perspective on our experiences.
I am here to guide and support people in reconnecting with their wholeness by offering care that deeply listens and responds to their needs.
exploring how body sensations, emotions, thoughts, and beliefs shape your pain experience, and how unconscious patterns and relationships influence its complexity, inviting mindful awareness to create space for change
exploring how you can show up as your whole self—grounded in your wisdom, resources, and humanity—while navigating a healthcare system that often feels disconnected and fragmented
exploring how your body reflects emotions, thoughts, and beliefs shaped by past and present contexts and relationships, inviting mindful awareness to create space for change
exploring how to cultivate an environment that supports both individual and collective wellbeing in a sustainable way
exploring, as practitioners,
how to relate to ourselves and others in an
embodied and relational way
“To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.”

"I have a very checkered history with allied health interventions, including physiotherapy.
So, when I approached Kit, it was with a sense of cautious optimism that maybe I could get used to the idea of even having a relationship to my body, yet alone healing that relationship. Her website is very good, propounding clinical values and therapeutic frameworks that I myself align with. I was hopeful when I had my first appointment, but still very 'masked' and presenting a 'front' regarding my journey with pain and physical trauma and its impact on me, how much I really needed help.
Kit met me where I was then both physically and metaphysically and continues to do so, offering space and nourishment to all parts of me, even the parts of me and my pain journey I don't really want to say hello to just yet, and parts of myself I have now sat with and am getting to know.
She's a great clinician to see if you know you need help with bodily injury and pain, the trauma of having that bodily pain, whatever its origins and are ready to step into the clinic room, but want safety and clarity before even beginning to contemplate what it means to bear witness to and heal pain, even if that just means seeing it and letting it breathe. With Kit, I've learnt that sometimes, that's enough. Sometimes, that's what is most important.
I stand in admiration for the part she plays in my survival, and in gratitude for the light and sense of elation she brings into my life. Thank you Kit!"

Alex Murray and I are having some real conversations about the trickiness of healthcare.
Each month we delve into the realities of clinical challenges when faced with the complexity of managing pain and injury.
Our hope is to cultivate a place for curiosity, conversation, compassion, creativity, collaboration, and classically bad gags.
We would love to foster a community that walks alongside us as we explore the messiness.
