Natali graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from the University of Melbourne in 1994. After working for a year in the hospital system in Melbourne she relocated to the UK where she worked in both the National Health Service and private practice.

Natali returned to Australia in 2007 and has been working in private practice since. Special interests include management of low back and pelvic pain, womens health and Clinical Pilates. Natali has recently undertaken further study in Women’s Health physiotherapy and has attended several advanced pelvic floor courses and has increased her scope of practice in women’s health as a result.
