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.

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.

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!

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!
