Presenter Details Fiona graduated from University College Dublin with a BSc in Physiotherapy in 2005 and has specialised in women's health physiotherapy since 2008. She has over 17 years of experience supporting women through pregnancy, postnatal recovery, pelvic health and menopause.
After working as a Senior Physiotherapist in a large maternity hospital for seven years, Fiona returned to her native County Kerry, where she has set up her own private practice, Anú Women’s Health Physiotherapy in Kenmare. She has extensive experience assessing and treating a wide range of women's health conditions and is passionate about helping women understand their bodies, regain confidence and return to the activities they love.
Her areas of expertise include:

Pregnancy-related musculoskeletal pain
Postnatal recovery
Diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation)
Pelvic floor dysfunction
Urinary and faecal incontinence
Pelvic organ prolapse
Pelvic pain
Vaginismus
Menopause and pelvic health

Fiona's commitment to evidence-based practice has been a constant throughout her career. She completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Continence for Physiotherapists through the University of Bradford before completing a Master's degree in Evidence-Based Practice at University College Cork. Her research focused on physiotherapy following obstetric anal sphincter injuries and was published in the ACPWH Journal. She also presented her research at the ACPWH Conference in Bristol.
Alongside her clinical work, Fiona is passionate about education. She leads the online postnatal rehabilitation programme with The Bump Room, delivers educational webinars for women and healthcare professionals, and has lectured on the DCU Nursing Master's Module Managing Continence in Clinical Practice. She also developed a six-month mentoring programme for physiotherapists beginning their careers in pelvic health and is a committee member of the CPPHC.
Fiona is a certified APPI Pilates instructor with specialist antenatal and postnatal training and believes in combining hands-on treatment, education and exercise to help women recover with confidence.
As a busy mum of three young daughters, Fiona understands first-hand how physically and emotionally demanding motherhood can be. Her goal is to create a warm, supportive environment where every woman feels listened to, understood and empowered.

Unlike other mentor programs that offer one-off sessions, we provide 6 months of ongoing support to our members with online mentoring sessions and a library of resources.

 We offer private 1:1 sessions, and a community of members to help answer questions on all aspects of treating women’s health patients.

 

3 x Private 1:1 Sessions.

1:1 Mentoring Initial Zoom Call with Fiona to establish your goals and objectives (30 Mins)

1:1 Midway call with Fiona to review challenges, brainstorm pivots, plan out the remainder of the programme and discuss anything you wish in this private space (30 Mins).

1:1 Closing call with Fiona to review mentorship and plan the next stages of your work/career (30mins).

Monthly “Case Workshop” via zoom

This is where you can ask questions and we can all troubleshoot together!  It will also be recorded and will then live on the website. You will get the chance to ask questions about them as a group.   Fiona will be present to answer the questions/moderate the discussion.   Of course, you can bring any burning question you have along as well, even if it is not related to a particular clinical case.

Each session runs from 12:30pm – 1:15pm on the 4TH THURSDAY of the month.

February 25th, March 25th , April 22nd, May 27th, June 24Th and July 22nd
