For Patients
Living in a plus-size or larger body is a unique experience that comes with its own set of challenges. Whether it’s dealing with pain, managing mobility issues, finding the right mobility aids, or overcoming past negative healthcare experiences, the path to health and independence can feel overwhelming.
You may have found yourself in a cycle of trying to improve but feeling misunderstood by those around you. Emotional, physical, and financial barriers can seem insurmountable, making it difficult to move forward.
I truly understand these challenges and am here to offer judgement-free, size-inclusive, and weight-neutral care. My compassionate, expert support is focused on helping you navigate these barriers and work towards a healthier, more confident, and empowered version of yourself. Together, we’ll find sustainable solutions tailored to your needs and goals.

Looking for accountability and expert guidance to support you? Building consistent movement habits can take time, and it’s not always easy to do it alone. Our small group sessions provide expert guidance and accountability, while giving you the support you need to follow your own movement goals.
With just five participants per class, you’ll receive individual attention in a judgment-free space where everybody (and capability) is welcomed and celebrated.
We offer 6-week packs, which we recommend to help you build consistency, stay motivated, and connect with your group members. Casual passes are also available where space allows.
These 45-minute sessions are held each week online. You’ll get a tailored exercise program structured around your personal goals, with a focus on strength and mobility. We welcome people of all abilities including those who choose to exercise from a chair or bed.
Before joining a small group class you MUST complete an initial assessment to ensure your experience is tailored to your needs (Current clients may be exempt – please contact us if you’re unsure). During this assessment we’ll discuss your goals and create an individualised program.
Private Health Insurance Rebate If eligible, you can claim a rebate on private health insurance under private health fund code 560.
