I strongly believe that exercise is an incredibly powerful medicine. When it’s prescribed by an Exercise Physiologist who has comprehensive clinical knowledge and more importantly, understands the client, it not only has the capacity to improve a person’s physical health, but it has power the to create significant change in all aspects of their life.
Nicole began her journey in health and exercise with a Bachelor of Physical Education (Hons) from the University of Otago in 2015. Inspired by the rewarding experience of supporting individuals with cancer and cardiac conditions through tailored exercise programs, she was motivated to pursue further study. This passion led her across the Tasman to complete a Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology at the University of Queensland in 2017. Since then, Nicole has worked with a wide range of clients—from athletes and healthy individuals to those managing chronic conditions, including cardiopulmonary, metabolic, musculoskeletal, and neurological issues. She has a particular interest in exercise oncology, delivering personalised and holistic exercise therapy to improve the quality of life for people living with cancer.
