Accredited Exercise Physiologist

Bio

Originally from Perth, Sophie grew up immersed in a variety of competitive sports, including netball, basketball, volleyball, athletics, and surf life-saving. Her passion for sports and fitness led her to pursue a Bachelor of Applied Science (Exercise Physiology) at the University of Sydney.

At age 15, Sophie was hit with a shock diagnosis of Type One Diabetes, where her hospital recovery briefly interrupted her sporting career. However, through exercise management and help from her allied health team, Sophie was able to return to sport and compete at a high level.

Sophie’s exercise physiology journey has been enriched by her university placements across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs and Northern Beaches, where she honed her skills in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, pre and post-natal health, and metabolic disease management. Her hands-on experience has equipped her with the expertise needed to address a wide range of health concerns, highlighting her dedication to improve individuals’ wellbeing through tailored exercise prescriptions and holistic approaches to health management.
