Meet Your Exercise Physiologist

Hi, I'm Siobhan (but most people call me Sibi), an Accredited Exercise Physiologist passionate about helping people move better, feel stronger and maintain their independence.

I have experience supporting older adults, people living with chronic health conditions, and individuals looking to improve their strength, mobility and confidence through safe, evidence-based exercise.

I understand that everyone's goals are different, which is why I take the time to develop personalised exercise programs that are practical, achievable and tailored to your individual needs.

Whether you're recovering from injury, managing a chronic condition, looking to prevent falls, or simply wanting to stay active, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

I provide mobile Exercise Physiology services throughout Port Macquarie and surrounding areas, as well as online exercise coaching for clients across Australia.
