Why I Became an EP

After 10 years of working as a private practitioner Exercise Physiologist I have found the following three things to be true:

The ability to listen; deeply, non-judgmentally, and compassionately.

Everyone has a story. Everyone holds a perception of that story and how their health journey has shaped their experience. There is strength within that story, and I enjoy being present in it. Finding meaning and purpose most often requires de-escalation of language and fear-based belief systems while finding movement that supports and challenges.

I need to create a safe space.

The safer someone feels in the gym space, the better. This is by the team understanding trauma-informed principles within our culture and workspace. Those in the community who use our gyms are welcoming. My focus on the therapeutic relationship is everything.

Continue quality professional development and education.

After completing my Master of Mental Health (SCU), developed by Prof. Richard Lakeman, I found that there was a contemporary way to understand mental and physical health. After three years of just reading what I could, concerning topics that fascinated me, I believe the possibility of research being conducted in psychoneuroimmunology will contribute to a shift within healthcare.

Why I Became an EP

I grew up in the sleepy town of Adelaide, South Australia before I moved to the sunny Gold Coast with my Family. As a teen, I was drawn to weight training as an outlet that allowed me to find strength and empowerment. This sparked the beginning of my nerdy infatuation with human biology and psychology. These interests mixed with the fulfillment I get from helping people meant that when someone suggested exercise physiology as a career, it felt perfect.

I get a lot of joy from working on constant self-growth and surrounding myself with positive people with similar values. I also love spending time in nature, reading and enjoying a cold beer or three with friends. While I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life, I have particular interests and additional education in the areas of mental health and supporting the Deaf/Hard of Hearing community. 

I want to help all of my clients not only learn how to reach their clinical health goals but also progress their performance to another level to get the absolute most out of life, whatever that looks like to them! I value being as present as I can be with every person I work with and discovering how I can help empower them through education, movement guidance and genuine, compassionate support.
