PMPP – Where are they now?

We are so lucky to have an amazing group of therapists and admin staff at PMPP. It is always sad to say goodbye when one of our team moves on. We often have clients ask after our previous staff members so I’ve tracked down a few to find out what they have been up to since working at PMPP.

Let’s hear from 6 previous PMPP Physio’s:

Emily Centra

Since leaving PMPP, Emily had a couple of years working with Virgin Australia as their onsite physio, before taking a year off for an epic year abroad – backpacking South and Central America. After returning back to Aus, she had a seachange and relocated to Torquay. Emily then worked full time in private practice with a similar focus to PMPP on small group pilates classes.  She had another year off to do something different and worked at the Rip Curl head office, as the Health, Safety and Wellbeing specialist. Currently Emily works for the Spirit of Tasmania as the onsite physio at their new Geelong terminal – providing physio to their staff and doing some training on the ship. She still keeps a toe in the pilates water too, teaching some classes at the practice in Torquay. 
 
Outside of work, Emily loves the coastal lifestyle. She lives across the road from the beach and enjoys surfing. A proud aunty to 5 gorgeous kids and still loves long, overseas adventures. The most recent being a surf trip to the Mentawais islands in Indonesia, and the next being either Brazil or Italy! 
Em says she misses SO much about PMPP!! The fabulous physios she got to work with, and the genuinely wonderful clients. 
 

Tara Boylan

When Tara left PMPP she moved overseas for a few years, living in Canada and Japan before returning home and settling in Ocean Grove. She got engaged, bought a house and now has a beautiful 2 year old daughter Sadie.

Currently Tara is completing her Masters of Pelvic Health, so loves treating all things pelvic health as well as an ongoing passion for Clinical Pilates. Her spark for women’s health started working at PMPP, with all the lovely pre- and post-natal women she got to treat, especially the mums and bubs classes!

Tara says she misses the atmosphere of a full pilates gym and the epic sunrise and sunset views from some of our reformers! If anyone is on holiday around Ocean Grove and needs a treatment, drop her a line!

Anne Keng

Anne left PMPP to move to London with the sole purpose of gallivanting around Europe. She was only supposed to be there temporarily for two years.

Now, five years later, she’s still there! She is still working as a physio but has moved into more of a clinical manager and business development role. Anne has retained some clinical hours for patients, but has now specialised in acute knee injuries & ACL rehab.

According to Anne, PMPP will always be the pivotal starting point of her career in physio and serves as a constant reminder of the type of culture that she strives to be a part of. She misses the amazing team, clients, and community here! The people at PMPP will always have a special place in her heart.

Leah Christoforou

When Leah left PMPP in early 2023, she spent a few months doing free-lance DJing/production work for the remainder of her time in Australia. A month after leaving PMPP she got married to her partner Dave and then 6 weeks later moved to Berlin. 
 

Leah is not currently working as a physiotherapist in Germany. She worked as a cocktail bartender for a period. This year she’s been working as a freelance Pilates teacher across a few different studios in Berlin and is loving it! She teaches a mixture of matwork and reformer and tries to implement her clinical knowledge where possible. She’s also about to start teaching specific prenatal reformer classes, as she loves working with this demographic. 

Since moving to Berlin Leah also continued her journey as a DJ and producer. She’s played at her favourite night clubs in Berlin and has travelled to festivals/events in the UK, Amsterdam and Lisbon. 
 
Leah says she misses the team and her regular clients at PMPP. She also misses working across from the bay, the dogs that used to come in and Sarah’s baked goods! 
 

Carrie Quinn

Since leaving PMPP Carrie and her partner Eoghan moved to Perth, then eventually relocated back home to the UK to be closer to their families. They have now been living in sunny Edinburgh, Scotland for the last 5 years. Carrie is still working in musculoskeletal Physio and now also works in Women’s Pelvic Health. She opened a Physio & Pilates Clinic in Edinburgh 1 year ago!

Carrie and Eoghan have a gorgeous little boy called Harris who has just turned 4. Carrie says she misses everything about PMPP, the supportive staff environment, the wonderful clients, the community feel and most wonderful team of girls to work with. She thinks of PMPP as the inspiration for her clinic in Edinburgh :).

Not to mention, the view from the window, the PMPP team runs at Albert park, coffees in the sun, the puppies and babies that visit the clinic and the special family feel the clinic has. Ok she’s off to book some flights back now!

Sinead O’Connell

After Sinead left PMPP she spent a month travelling around Australia before spending a month in Ireland. She then made the move to London. Sinead worked as a pelvic health physio, taught reformer pilates and completed her masters in pelvic health over four years. She then returned to Ireland in 2017. 

Since then Sinead has run her first marathon, bought a house, got married and now has two lovely babies! A busy time! Liadh (pronounced Leah) is 3 years old and Tom is 1 year old.

Sinead still works as a physio. She specialises in pelvic health and treats a variety of men, women and children with bowel and/or bladder dysfunction, pain etc. She works in a mix of public and private settings and loves it! Sinead also does some teaching to physiotherapists looking to specialise in this area of practice. She particularly enjoys this part of her work.

Sinead looks back fondly on her time at PMPP saying it was such a lovely place to work,with a great community spirit amongst both the staff and the clients. She enjoyed her time here immensely. The location was also a bonus…. She’s no longer working right alongside a beach and that’s certainly something she misses!

Thank you to  all these amazing women who have shared their journeys with us. We miss them but love hearing the different paths that life has taken them down. To different parts of Victoria and all corners of the globe!
