— The Bondi Junction room
The room — discreet, warm, very quiet.
A small private pelvic-health practice — postnatal recovery, prolapse, urinary urgency, painful intercourse, perimenopausal pelvic change, men's pelvic-floor work. Internal examinations only with full consent and a chaperone available.
Many patients arrive after waiting years before asking for help. The first session is set up for that. Most of the hour is spent in conversation — history, symptoms, what has been tried, what is feared. There is no expectation of internal examination at the first session unless agreed.
You will leave with a written summary, a short two-week plan, and a clear sense of what the next three months might look like.
Forty minutes of careful history-taking. Goals named in your own words. Consent for the rest of the session, in writing if preferred.
External postural and breath-mechanics review, with internal examination only if appropriate and consented. Chaperone available on request.
Three to four concrete actions for the next fortnight. A follow-up review in two weeks. Most patients are seen four to six times over three months.
Six-week check, diastasis assessment, scar management for caesarean and tear repair, and a graded return to walking, training and intimacy. From six weeks post-partum onwards.
Symptomatic management, pessary fitting and trial, daily-life modification, and a structured strength plan. Coordinated with a urogynaecologist where surgical advice is being considered.
Detailed bladder diary, urge-suppression strategies, fluid-and-caffeine reviews, and pelvic-floor retraining where strength rather than overactivity is the issue. Often resolves in six to eight sessions.
A careful, slow approach. Education, dilator-graded programs (used only with consent and in your own time), pelvic-floor downtraining, and joint work with a women's-health GP when helpful.
Dryness, change in tone, urinary changes through the perimenopausal years. Often combined with conversations about local oestrogen with your GP. Movement and strength plan tailored to the perimenopausal body.
Pain education, pelvic-floor downtraining, central sensitisation work, and breath-and-load progression. Most patients are co-managed with a gynaecologist and pain specialist.
Post-prostatectomy recovery, chronic pelvic pain, urinary urgency. Initial assessment runs ninety minutes. Treatment plan agreed at the second visit.
For travelling weeks, new-baby weeks, post-flu weeks. Forty-five-minute review with the same care as in-person. Booked online via HotDoc.
The questions patients most often want answered before they book. Anything not listed — please ring. Sienna returns enquiry calls personally.
Not unless you have agreed to that in advance and have given written consent on the day. Most patients have the first session as conversation, history and external assessment only.
Yes. A chaperone is always available on request. Partners are welcome in the room with you. We will let you know politely if we ever need a moment alone.
No. We do this work all day, every day. There is nothing you can tell us that we have not heard before. We will hold the conversation gently and at your pace.
Yes — for follow-up reviews and for many initial conversations. We will discuss with you whether a first visit can be done by telehealth or whether the room is more appropriate.
Private health funds — all major. Medicare Chronic Disease Management plans. NDIS plan-managed and self-managed. WorkCover provider referrals welcomed.
Most new patients are seen within three weeks. Postnatal, post-prostatectomy and acute prolapse cases are prioritised and usually seen within one week.
New patients are welcome with or without referral. Initial sessions are 60 minutes ($190) or 90 minutes ($240) depending on the area being worked on. Sienna returns enquiry calls personally each day.
