Zeenia
Founder, Physio, Pilates Instructor
Hi, I’m Zee! Founder of Extend Studio and physio. I have over five years of clinical experience with a keen interest in pregnancy conditions, oncology rehabilitation, spinal pain, sporting injuries and post natal care. I have a particular interest in using Pilates-based rehabilitation to support recovery, enhance strength, and improve overall function.
I’m also trained in dry needling, cupping, and clinical Pilates, and hold additional certifications in cancer rehabilitation and osteoarthritis management. I take pride in helping clients manage headaches and neck pain, and I’m passionate about delivering treatment that provides long-term relief and improves quality of life.
My approach is evidence-based, client-centred, and tailored to each individual's goals. Whether you're returning to activity post-injury, managing a chronic condition, or seeking support through a major life stage, I'm here to guide you with expertise and care.
Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new restaurants, catching up with friends, walking my two golden retrievers, and travelling with my husband and our baby boy.

Abbey
Studio Manager, Pilates Instructor & Physio
Hey I’m Abbey- With a background in sports training and a passion for physiotherapy, I love helping people move well, recover confidently, and build long-term strength. I have a particular interest in lower limb rehabilitation, especially knee and ankle injuries, and enjoy combining hands-on treatment with functional exercise and Pilates-based rehab.
Outside of work, I stay active through running, netball, Pilates, and strength training, all of which shape how I approach movement and rehab with clients. Fun fact, I also work as a Paediatric Physio!
Originally from a farming background, I still love visiting home — and yes, I can operate heavy farm machinery! When I’m not in the studio, you’ll find me catching up with friends over an iced almond latte or spending time outdoors.
My goal is to support every client through personalised, evidence-based care that gets them back to doing what they love — stronger than before.

Phebe
Physio & Pilates Instructor
Hi I’m Phebs, I am a physiotherapist and Pilates instructor at Extend Studio, with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) and additional certifications in Women’s Pelvic Health, Advanced Dry Needling, and APPI Clinical Pilates. I’m passionate about helping clients achieve their health and fitness goals through movement and recovery. Outside of work, you’ll often find me at the beach for a run or swim, spending quality time with friends and family, or heading out on a camping trip. My drink of choice is a matcha or long black, I love true crime documentaries, getting creative with painting and balancing my running with pilates and strength training. Fun fact: I’m a big country music fan!

Caitlyn
Physiotherapist and Pilates Instructor
Hi I’m Caitlyn!
With a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) and training through APPI in both clinical mat and equipment Pilates, I combine evidence-based movement with a love for helping people feel strong, confident, and capable in their bodies. I’m also certified in neuromuscular trigger point dry needling, which gives me an extra edge when it comes to tailoring sessions to support recovery, mobility, and overall wellbeing. I’m passionate about decreasing pain and making movement empowering, functional, and fun.
In my reformer classes expect planks (and all their spicy variations!) to make a regular appearance. Outside the studio, you’ll usually find me running, listening to live music, hiking with friends, or hopping between cafés (I’m a long black kind of girl, but a mocha sneaks in about once a month).
Fun fact: I’m the fourth of five siblings, and I used to play trombone in my high school band. We were made to run laps to improve our performance—and somewhere along the way, I fell in love with running and movement. That’s where it all started!

Pilates Instructor
Hi, I’m Jas! I’m a Pilates instructor with a background in Medical Science, currently studying Nursing and aiming to pursue a career in Medicine. I’m passionate about movement, health, and helping others feel their best.
On weekends, you’ll usually find me enjoying an iced long black on a walk with friends, playing netball, strength training at the gym, or heading home to the river to visit my family. My favourite Pilates moves? Anything glute-focused—think lunges and side-lying leg work!
And here’s a fun fact: I once worked as a weed and pest controller in Victoria’s national parks

Brianna
Pilates Instructor
Hey I’m Bri! I’ve been a pilates instructor for over 3 years now and I love the benefits and results of Reformer Pilates. I’m currently studying Speech Pathology at Uni and loving it!
I’m all about strong, empowering movement, and you can bet I’ll sneak in a heavy side-lying leg series or some offerings (the heavier, the better!). I love helping people feel the burn in the best way, while still keeping things fun and supportive.
Outside the studio, you’ll probably find me cooking up something delicious with my boyfriend, watching the footy (go Port!), or spending time with my doggies. My go-to coffee order is a cappuccino, and a little fun fact about me? I can juggle!
I can’t wait to see you in class—get ready to move, laugh, and leave feeling stronger than when you came in!

Hey I’m Liah, you’ll find me in the Studio on Wednesday’s and Thursday’s.
When I’m not at Extend I’m either spending time with my little one Ollie and taking him on fun little adventures. My coffee order of choice is in an iced vanilla latte and my favourite sport would have to be field hockey.
I also love attending the classic reformer classes at Extend and my favourite exercise is a reverse plank!

I love being part of the crew that keeps you caffeinated and smiling. Whether it’s your go-to coffee or something a little different, I’m all about good vibes and great drinks. My personal fave? An iced matcha!When I’m not behind the machine, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family, playing competitive footy, or hanging out with my partner and our dog.

Come say hi next time you’re in

Barista
Hi, I’m Izzy! I’m a barista at Extend, currently studying Physiotherapy at UniSA and holding a Cert III in Fitness. I’ve always been passionate about movement and health—plus, I love making a good coffee (mine’s an almond latte).
On weekends, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going for morning walks with my mum, or going to the gym. I’ve been doing sport aerobics for over 11 years, and it’s still one of my favourite ways to stay active! My hidden talent is that I can do a single armed push-up.
