Graduating with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy in 2014, Ndapile Kumwembe began her career in Malawi, where she quickly developed a strong passion for women’s health. In 2016, after completing her APPI Pilates training in South Africa, she opened her own women’s health practice and Pilates studio, guided by the UK-based Bodies Under Construction team.
In 2019, Ndapile moved to Australia to further her clinical knowledge and went on to complete a Master of Clinical Physiotherapy (Continence and Pelvic Health) at Curtin University in 2023. Since then, she has worked in both rural and metropolitan settings across South Australia and Western Australia, supporting women with complex pelvic health concerns and building a reputation for her compassionate, individualised care.
Now based in Perth, Ndapile lives with her husband and their three young children. Outside of work, she enjoys strength training, long walks, and quiet moments with a warm cup of tea in the sunshine.
Completing her physiotherapy degree at the Australian Catholic University in 2019, Gurlean Hayer has since developed a strong passion for women’s health and paediatrics.

She is dedicated to creating inclusive and culturally sensitive spaces where all women—particularly those from underrepresented communities—feel safe, empowered, and supported.
Outside of work, Gurlean enjoys weight training and cherishes time spent with her one-year-old son, which further inspires her commitment to supporting women and children in their health journeys.
