About Us
Our Story.
We’re Pheobe and Sarah, founders of Barwon Kids. Our journey began with a shared vision: to create a close-knit, vibrant environment where families feel welcomed and accepted from the moment they step into our clinic.
We are both passionate Physiotherapists, business owners and mothers, who recognise firsthand how busy life can be with children. This understanding drives our commitment to provide a supportive and personalised experience for every family.
We set out to foster a warm, inviting atmosphere that prioritises each child's unique needs. Our approach to family-centered care ensures that every child and their family are treated with respect, compassion, and understanding.
As we’ve grown, we’ve remained dedicated to this vision, ensuring that our practice is not just a place for therapy, but a supportive community where families can thrive together. We look forward to continuing this journey and helping more children reach their fullest potential in a comfortable setting.
