Welcome!
Hi there!
I’m Danielle, an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and founder of Well Now Lifestyle Medicine. I specialise in using exercise and movement to support mental health, manage persistent pain, aid recovery from physical or psychological injury, and help people live well with chronic conditions. My mission is to make movement accessible, achievable, and empowering for everyone.
​
I believe movement is for every body—no matter your starting point or ability. Each person’s journey is unique, and I’m passionate about working alongside my clients to build confidence, resilience, and a better quality of life.
​
With a PhD, a Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology (Rehabilitation), and over seven years of clinical experience, I bring a blend of expertise and compassion to my practice. My approach is client-centred, evidence-based, and trauma-informed. Additionally, my background in rehabilitation counselling helps me support clients through the emotional and physical adjustments that often accompany illness or injury.
