Natalie has been nursing for ten years. She completed a Bachelor of Science (Nursing) at Curtin University, whilst training as an elite athlete in the sport of rowing.
Natalie initially worked at Sir Charles Gardner Hospital in orthopaedics and neurology, before moving into private practice and eventually working at Baby Steps, which she describes as her ‘perfect job.’

Natalie also medalled at the Senior World Rowing Championships and Rowing World Cup Regattas, and held scholarships at both the Australian and Western Australian Institutes of Sport.
She is passionate about children’s health and development, helping babies and young parents in the critical early years.
