Hi, I’m Alannah and welcome to Kaylana Wellness Collective!
I’m the founder and Principal Physiotherapist behind Kaylana Wellness Collective. The name Kaylana is a combination of my first and last name, a reflection of the personal connection and care at the heart of this space. It also means “light”, which inspired my vision to create a place where women feel supported, empowered and cared for through every season of life.
I have a special interest in supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause and beyond, as well as helping women over 50 build strength, support their bone health, manage osteoarthritis and stay active and independent.
Becoming a mum to Olly has given me a deeper understanding of the physical and emotional changes that come with pregnancy, postpartum and matrescence. With over 10 years of Pilates experience and a background in physiotherapy, I combine movement, education and personalised care to help women feel confident in their bodies.
Through our Heal to Empower Model of Care, my goal is simple: to help you feel stronger, more confident and capable in your body.
Outside the clinic, you’ll find me spending time with my family, out walking with my dog Beau, or enjoying Pilates and strength training.
I can’t wait to welcome you to Kaylana Wellness Collective.
