Meet Our Team of Qualified Therapists

Meet Laura Bindi

I’ve worked in the wellness for industry for over 10 years. After working with special needs children with Diamond Fitness in the gym and sports setting at Christchurch Grammar School Perth I had a yearning to learn more about Autism Spectrum Disorders. I was fortunate to be able travel to the US to do work experience with pediatric OT’s and physiotherapists at a large autism centre. I completed a Diploma in remedial massage as well as pediatric massage qualifications gaining experience in various clinics around Perth.

Following on I completed studies in exercise for pediatric populations and special needs through University of WA. Most recently I was able to take part in the Chad Timmermans Power Plate for Special Needs course relating to Cerebral Palsy and brain injuries. My scope of exercise prescription for people with special needs is founded on John Polley’s education courses who treats every client as a whole, focusing by treating the Myofascial lines that run throughout the body and creating emotional and physical change through play and mobility, decreasing pain and resulting in a happier person.

Soon after becoming pregnant with our first child we were told she would have a serious ongoing heart condition and a very high chance of developmental and physical disabilities associated with a rare chromosome disorder. We experienced the sadness, grief and anxiety that come to many parents with similar diagnoses. Unfortunately our girl Angel choose a different journey and came into the world stillborn but she’s always signaling to me that I am needed to make a bigger impact to children and families like ours, as parents we need to be role models but its not always easy to get ourselves back on track when faced with mental health challenges and lack of support.

My future goals are helping with more special needs employment and health educational programs helping shape positive and naturally healthy families.
