Born and raised in South Africa, Liz moved to Hong Kong in 2021 to pursue a fulfilling career specialising in Women's Health and Female Athletes.
As a passionate MSK and sports physio she enjoys treating all varieties of injuries as well as working with Hong Kong's National Women's Hockey teams (Snr and Jnr) when she is not on the pitch playing herself.
She specialised into Women's Health by attending training courses presented by Mandy Roscher and Grainne Donneley, so that she can become an expert in treating all women at every phase of their lives.
Her most requested services include:
- Prenatal care: Managing all aches and pains that come with pregnancy, preparing for labour and keeping fit and healthy along the way
- Postnatal care: Postnatal check ups, managing any complications that may have occurred and paving the way to return to a pre-pregnancy body
- Return-to-Play: Whether post injury or post pregnancy, Liz will walk the path with you until you are participating in your favourite activities at the same level you were before (if not better!)
- Sports injuries and other Pain: From unidentified lower back pain to torn ligaments during physical activity, Liz will help get you back on track
- Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: Assisting to resolve any uncomfortable pelvic floor conditions by means of both external and internal approaches when necessary
- Menopause Management: Managing physical symptoms arising from perimenopausal conditions as well as strengthening the body to embrace menopause with ease and grace.
In addition, Liz helps women strengthening their core through 1-1 Pilates mat classes.

"When my mother went through menopause she told me that her body does not feel like her own anymore. I had heard that same sentence from multiple of my postnatal clients before as well. That's when I knew that I had to do something about that. That is why I am here."

"I couldn’t recommend Liz more! Liz has been with me through varying stages of my life, helping to heal my slipped disc, strengthening my core through Pilates which therefore meant I could be pregnant pain free! Getting me in shape for my wedding, fixing my shoulder and giving amazing massages too! I am fitter stronger and pain free because of Liz’s incredible guidance and knowledge" - Laila

“I was struggling with terrible pain in my foot that caused difficulty walking. Liz was able to not only pinpoint the source of the pain but also restore mobility immediately I have been her patience ever since and I keep coming back with any sports conditions I get as so far she is the only one who always get it right” - Veronika
