Tarryn - Physiotherapist (BSc)
Tarryn is the heart of Brave Bodies. Her passion for supporting children and families with unique and challenging disabilities is the reason our services exist today. Alongside Ruan, her husband, she started Brave Bodies in 2023 with the aim to provide high-quality, evidence-based, family-centred physiotherapy services to Busselton, Bunbury, Margaret River and surrounds. Tarryn also provides her services to Geographe Education Support Centre, supporting the primary and high school in creating physiotherapy programs meeting each individual child's needs, or supporting external clinicians to implement their programs. Tarryn has a broad range of experience in paediatric physiotherapy in both very remote Australia and metropolitan areas. In her spare time, she loves living in Busselton, tending to her fruit trees, and enjoying a warm cappuccino with Ruan or a friend. Tarryn is currently available for home-visits under NDIS.
