BSc Physiotherapy – University of Queensland & University of the Sunshine Coast
Founder of Encompass Health Services (est. 2017)
Wendy is the founder and director of Encompass Health Services, bringing over 15 years of physiotherapy experience, and a lifetime of varied professional insight, to her leadership. Her background spans healthcare, farming, human resources, and executive management, giving her a uniquely broad perspective on what people need to thrive – physically, mentally, and socially.
As a physiotherapist, Wendy holds a special interest in neurological rehabilitation, musculoskeletal health, sensory processing, and whole person wellness, especially for clients aged 45 and over who want to stay active, independent, and connected. She is known for her pragmatic, person first approach that recognises each client’s unique environment, beliefs, and goals.
Wendy founded Encompass Health Services in 2017 to meet a growing need on the Sunshine Coast: a multidisciplinary employer offering flexible, meaningful work, and a service model focused on in home, community based allied health. Under her leadership, the business has grown to support both My Aged Care and NDIS clients through a collaborative, values-driven team of professionals.
Wendy believes in meeting people where they’re at, both clients and staff. Her approach to care is built on respect, insight, and honest communication. She’s passionate about helping others achieve their goals and is always happy to share knowledge or guide people to the right resources.
When not supporting her team or clients, Wendy can be found tending her garden, hiking mountains, or travelling to spend time with her family.
