Meet
My name is Carrie, and have served the chronic health rehabilitation industry since 2017. I completed my postgraduate study with distinction, majoring in clinical exercise physiology and found a natural place within the neurological community for most of that time. Almost 5 years ago, I branched into the meaningful space of oncology from diagnosis through to post-treatment and beyond, and once again, found a natural fit.
I firmly believe that we are capable of more than what the trend of your disease predicts, and I LOVE to prove it to all of my clients. I believe that 2 hands are better than one and am here to support you to achieve your goals.
I am a mother of an amazing empathetic boy that is very funny. We laugh…..a lot! I was a performance gymnast in my youth, a crossfitter in my early 30s, and now lift weights for health and support my partner to teach kickboxing.
I know life is an emotional journey and is rarely linear. I use movement to challenge my own discipline and manage my mental health. I look forward to meeting you in your place of struggle.
CLINICAL EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY
A Clinical Exercise Physiologist is an allied health professional trained to design, deliver, and monitor exercise-based treatment for people managing chronic disease, injury, disability, or complex medical conditions. Unlike a general fitness trainer, a Clinical Exercise Physiologist works from a clinical, evidence-based framework — assessing how a person’s specific condition affects their physical capacity, then building a program that is both safe and genuinely therapeutic.
This process typically starts with clinical exercise testing — a structured assessment of your current cardiovascular fitness, strength, mobility, and any condition-specific risk factors. Testing might include things like graded exercise or lactate threshold testing, resting and exercise blood pressure monitoring, strength and functional movement screening, postural screening and quantifiable muscle testing, depending on your individual health picture. This gives an objective baseline to work from, rather than guesswork.
From there, a specific personalised exercise prescription is developed — taking into account your diagnosis, treatment history, medications, and goals. Programs are continually adjusted as your capacity changes, using regular reassessment to track progress and ensure the plan stays both effective and safe.
Clinical Exercise Physiologists commonly work with people managing cancer treatment and recovery, neurological conditions, cardiovascular and autonomic dysfunction, post-surgical rehabilitation, and other complex or high-risk presentations — often working alongside a person’s oncologist, surgeon, GP, or other specialists as part of a coordinated care team.
