Meet Steph

Stephanie Bladon-Smith

M.Phty, Bachelor of Kinesiology

Originally from Canada, Stephanie graduated from the University of Queensland’s Master of Physiotherapy program in 2020, where she developed a strong passion for women’s and pelvic health.

Drawing on her experience in musculoskeletal (MSK) clinics, she has a strong understanding of injury management and rehabilitation. Stephanie integrates this knowledge with pelvic health to help women prepare for pregnancy, recover after birth, and optimise continence and pelvic floor function — whether for everyday activities or returning to sport.

​

As an athlete herself, Stephanie understands how important physical activity is for both mental and physical wellbeing. She is passionate about supporting women through all life stages — including pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and menopause — and guiding them back to movement in a way that feels safe, supported, and personalised.
 

Stephanie’s approach is warm, collaborative, and evidence-based.  She combines practical, hands-on treatment with clear education to ensure women feel confident and supported every step of the way. She aims to create a comfortable environment where women feel heard, informed, and empowered in their care.

In her spare time, Stephanie enjoys staying active — training for triathlons, playing tennis with her partner, beach camping, hiking, and exploring the incredible Australian landscape.
