Excerpt from 'A NEW AWAKENING': An article published in the Australian Physiotherapy Association Magazine 'InMotion'
'Carlee was with me from the start. She taught me to go from lying to sitting, transferring to and from my bed and wheelchair and to a standing position....She was so gentle so as not to submit my body to too much pain and discomfort, yet persistent enough to advance my progress. Carlee always knew just what to do and what to say to make me feel good about myself and make me want to do better.’ Bree Kirwin
'I believe that together we accomplished what I was told would never happen, but with us both giving 110 per cent I got there' Bree Kirwan
