Ms Ella Smith
Physiotherapist
Ella graduated from Auckland University of Technology (AUT) with a Bachelor of Health Science (Physiotherapy) in 2024. During her studies, she gained valuable experience through student placements in both public and community healthcare settings, where she saw a wide variety of patients. Her interest in physiotherapy stems from her personal experiences of overcoming sports-related injuries. These experiences, in addition to time spent in a hospital environment, highlighted the diverse areas physiotherapists can work in. In addition to physiotherapy, Ella is a figure skating coach. Over the years she has worked with students of all ages and skill levels, helping them build confidence, develop technical skills, and achieve their personal goals. Outside of her profession, Ella stays active through figure skating and rock-climbing. She also enjoys spending quality time with friends and family and unwinding with a good book. Ella is enthusiastic about helping others regain their function, improve their quality of life, and achieve their personal goals. She looks forward to working with you! View details »
