Accredited Exercise Physiologist

Bio

Growing up in South-West Sydney in a second-generation Vietnamese-Australian family, I saw many loved ones live with heart disease, diabetes, persistent pain, and musculoskeletal conditions. Those experiences inspired me to understand how exercise could improve health and quality of life, leading me to study a Bachelor of Applied Science (Exercise Physiology) (Honours) at the University of Sydney. My Honours research explored how people with and without Type 2 Diabetes respond to cardiac rehabilitation, focusing on improving cardiorespiratory fitness and long-term health outcomes.


My passion for exercise physiology has also been shaped by my own experiences as an athlete. Through training and competing in combat and contact sports, I’ve experienced injuries, setbacks, rehabilitation, and the challenge of returning to the activities I enjoy. Those experiences taught me that recovery isn’t just about reducing pain, it’s about rebuilding confidence, restoring function, and helping people trust their bodies again.

Today, I combine evidence-based exercise with genuine understanding to help people recover from injury, manage chronic conditions, return to sport, and move with greater confidence. Every person has a different story, and my role is to meet them where they are and guide them towards outcomes that matter most to them.
