Sinead graduated with a Doctor of Physiotherapy at Melbourne University in 2017 and has since developed her skills and experience in paediatric Physiotherapy at Joan Kirner Women’s and Children’s Hospital where she worked with infants and children with a range of neurodevelopmental conditions including Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome and other genetic conditions, Global Developmental Delay, Torticollis, Plagiocephaly and fractures.

Sinead has a vibrant and bubbly personality. She enjoys working with families from culturally diverse backgrounds. As the mother of an infant, Sinead understands the importance of integrating therapy into daily routines that work for the whole family. In her free time, Sinead enjoys camping and hiking with her family. One of her favourite places to hike in Victoria is Wilson’s Prom and she can’t wait to take baby Maeve on more hiking and camping trips.
