Lea is an amazing therapist. When I first went to see her, I felt completely lost and struggled to find a reason to get up each day. Through her support, guidance, and understanding, I have been able to find myself again and get back on track.After just three sessions, I have already seen a huge improvement in my mindset, motivation, and overall wellbeing. I feel more in control of my life, focused on my goals, and confident in my ability to achieve them.I am incredibly grateful for Lea’s help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and effective therapist.

Lia is truly amazing at what she does. From the moment I walked in, she created a calm, safe, and welcoming space. Her kinesiology sessions were not only relaxing but also deeply insightful and effective. She has a genuine, caring approach and really takes the time to understand what you need. I left each session feeling lighter, more balanced, and supported. I’ve noticed such a positive shift since working with her and can’t recommend her highly enough. More...

I started training with Lia with minimal gym experience, no background in strength training, and feeling pretty unhappy with myself — and she completely changed that. Lia taught me how to care for my body, enjoy being healthy and active, and lift weights with proper technique and confidence. Her guidance was always supportive, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable.Even though I no longer train with Lia, I still receive compliments on my form and technique when training — a true testament to the quality of her coaching. I’m genuinely grateful for everything she taught me, and I would highly recommend Lia to anyone. She truly cares and knows her stuff. More...

"Coming out of a long period of working from home during COVID-19, Lia designed a great program for me that I was able to do in the park or the lounge room at home to get me back to the level of fitness that I needed for completing the Larapinta trail in the McDonnell ranges in SA. She then adapted that to suit me while I was travelling for work for two months, ensuring that I could keep training wherever I was without equipment. I highly recommend her as a trainer!” More...

I came to Lia because I needed help clearing old energy and making space for the new. I’d been feeling stuck as I transitioned out of an old job, and I knew I needed support to really let go and move forward. After my session with her, I felt lighter, clearer, and more grounded in what I needed to do next. The biggest thing that stood out to me was how deeply she listened — her thoughtful questions and the safe, welcoming space she created made it easy to open up and release what I’d been holding onto.If you’re looking for the next step or some genuine guidance in your life, Lia is absolutely the person who can help you get there.

I trained with Lia for 2 years, before this I had no experience with strength training at all. As a complete beginner, she was incredible at breaking things down and teaching me proper technique, which has given me so much confidence to walk into the gym and actually know what I’m doing. With her support, I smashed my goals of getting fitter, losing fat, and building a consistent routine.Lia kept me accountable in a way that felt motivating, and designed a tailored program with lots of variation so I never got bored and always felt challenged in the right way.I genuinely feel stronger, more knowledgeable, and more confident because of her coaching. I’d highly recommend training with Lia to anyone, no matter your fitness level. She makes the whole process feel achievable and even enjoyable. More...

I don't really have a secret. I believe that eating a healthy balanced diet, exercising regularly and moving your body, increases happiness and makes you feel good from the inside/out
What do you love most about your job?
Helping my clients become the best version of themselves.
To be able to educate and work with client's to accomplish their health and fitness goals.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always enjoyed exercise and it has been something I have done several times a week since my early twenties.
When I decided to work with my own personal trainer I couldn't believe how quickly i got results.
I felt so much stronger, flexible and my overall fitness increased significantly.
My self esteem also grew, enabling me to feel more confident in my own skin.
This is when I decided that I wanted to inspire and help others.
I completed my certificate III and IV in fitness in 2015 and have had my own business ever since.
Why should our clients choose you?

Yes i provide a majority of my services online. I use google meet to connect with my clients for training and coaching calls.
Strength & Conditioning
I specialise in strength and conditioning for women, designing programs that are tailored to each stage of life and individual goals. My approach to functional strength training incorporates a variety of weights and movement styles to help women build lean muscle, improve bone density, support hormonal health and boost everyday energy.
Kinesiology
Kinesiology is both a science and an art, combining an understanding of energy, consciousness and the body’s innate intelligence. It is a holistic, non-invasive therapy that uses the body’s natural biofeedback system to communicate directly with the subconscious mind and energy systems.
Through the gentle practice of muscle reflex testing, Kinesiology helps access information stored beyond conscious awareness, such as memories, beliefs, emotions, fears and survival responses, allowing for deeper insight and healing.
Weightloss & Nutrition
I specialise in supporting women with sustainable fat loss through a balanced combination of strength training, functional movement, and personalised nutrition coaching. My approach is designed to go beyond quick fixes, focusing instead on building lean muscle, improving metabolism, and creating healthy lifestyle habits that last.
With tailored nutrition guidance, I help women understand how to fuel their bodies for energy, fat loss, and overall vitality, without restrictive dieting. Together, we create a plan that supports your goals while fitting seamlessly into your everyday life.
Pilates & Functional Core Training
I integrate Pilates and core-focused training to help women build a strong foundation for movement, stability and strength. This approach goes beyond traditional workouts, targeting the deep core and glutes to enhance posture, prevent injuries, and support overall performance.
By combining Pilates principles with functional core training, women develop greater stability, flexibility and body awareness, all of which complement strength training and contribute to long-term health, confidence, and energy.
