About Us

Our Number one focus is on you

Achieving Long-term Health And Wellness

How are we different to all of the other practitioners that have failed you? While they’re getting caught up on hardware, we’re looking at software, They’re stuck on structure, we’re focused on function. We help you rebuild your function with the hardest thing you do well as the foundation instead of getting distracted by things you can’t do. 

It is a different approach. It works.

Why Us

We Are Different

 We interpret the latest scientific research for you and weave it into your program. Our brand of ‘high value’ health care teaches you what you need to know and filters out everything that is unhelpful. We guide by the side, imparting the understanding you require to move you past your injury, or illness, or the recurring niggle curtailing your training program . . . . . . or life.

She is relentless in helping people pursue their desired rehabilitation outcomes and continually searches for the latest evidence-based practices to add another dimension to the recovery process.In recent times, Marcelle has become a subject matter expert in Women’s Physiology in relation to the effects of Menstrual cycles, perimenopause and menopause on training and performance.She regularly hosts live and on-line seminars and workshops on this topic attended by general public and health and fitness professionals from all over the world.
