Exercise Physiologist | Pilates Teacher | Remedial Massage Therapist | Educator
Background
I have always been a mover, as a child sports such as baseball, soccer and surfing were a big part of life. A gap year (which became multiple years…) working in ski resorts saw me living and snowboarding in the Colorado Rockies where I first undertook a Pilates class. Instantly I was hooked and the seed for Movement Health was planted.
I began my Movement Health education with the study of Remedial Massage, followed by Exercise Science and Pilates, the common thread being a desire to learn more about helping people improve their health. The culmination of my formal education was being awarded a University scholarship to undertake a research project; the final thesis was awarded First Class Honours.
For five years I managed a studio practice in Forster on the New South Wales Mid-Coast and today I manage Movement Health as an online presence. Through Movement Health I’m here to promote whole-body health, develop quality online learning and support people so they can thrive.

Obscure Interests
The Physical Culture Movement of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s is where all of my Movement Health interests come together, the origins of Exercise Science and modern Massage can be found in the Physical Culture Movement. During this time Physical Culturists such as Joseph Pilates shared their exercise philosophies whilst encouraging individuals to engage with their own health. I write about Physical Culture in the Movement Blog and in 2019 I presented at the Pilates Alliance Australasia national conference on the topic of Physical Culture.
