One of the most influential figures in Australian pelvic health physiotherapy joins us this week. Taryn has spent decades shaping how clinicians learn and practice women’s health - and this conversation gets into the heart of how that happened. Personal, honest, and worth every minute.

What We Cover

  • The early years. The experiences and influences that formed Taryn, and what the field looked like when she was coming up.
  • Going straight into women’s health - Why she took a less conventional path as a new grad, and what was driving those early decisions.
  • Finding her niche and founding WHTA - The turning point where women’s health became her thing, and how that led to building Women’s Health Training Associates.
  • Growth beyond expectation - When she realised WHTA had become something far bigger than she’d planned, and what made that possible.
  • Visibility and pressure - What it’s actually like to operate at that level of influence, and what’s been hardest.
  • What people get wrong about success - The factors that have genuinely mattered across her career, and what gets oversimplified from the outside.
  • The question no one asks - As a woman, mother, and leader, something Taryn is well placed to say but rarely gets asked.
