Nicole Cullen

Musculoskeletal and Pelvic Health Physiotherapist working at Embrace Women’s Health Physiotherapy Bowral.

Prior to becoming a Physiotherapist, Nicole completed her Bachelor Degree in Sports and Exercise Science and worked as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist, where she fostered her passion for using ‘exercise as medicine’ to recover from injury, illness and improve quality of life.  She then went on to complete her Masters in Physiotherapy at University of Canberra and later returned to Bowral, Southern Highlands to work in private practice. In 2024 she completed the ISM series with Diane in Sydney, Australia.

Her own personal journey into parenthood influenced her extension into Pelvic and Women’s Health Physiotherapy, where she has completed extensive professional development and now leads the Embrace Women’s Health service. Nicole is particularly passionate about working with mums (and their partners) to prepare both mentally and physically for labour/ birth, developing the Embrace Birth and Beyond antenatal program, in an effort to help educate women on their birth choices, how to both mentally and physically prepare, and reduce post-partum injuries. Nicole understands the female body changes during the pregnancy and postnatal phases, the demands of motherhood and importance of self-care. She loves being able to help women get back to the activities they love including exercise and sport after having children!
