Hi! I'm Zoe.
Accredited Exercise Physiologist and Level 2 Run Coach
My passion is to help you move with confidence to benefit your perinatal journey - through pregnancy, birth, recovery and return to exercise.
In my past life (before kids!) I prescribed exercise as medicine for over 10 years for many population groups. I worked with pre and postnatal women during this time, but not until my own pregnancy did I fully appreciate how little information (and how much misinformation) is readily available. This is when my passion for improving perinatal exercise education and empowering soon to be and new mothers was born!
My mission is for all birthing parents to have access to safe, evidence based exercise information to help them move through their pregnancy, birth and beyond.
A proud mum of two children (plus a few furry ones), I love to run and keep moving for my mental and physical wellbeing.
I am a strong believer in moving for mental health as well as physical, and moving for what we can gain, rather than what we want to lose.
You deserve more than a list of what you “can’t” do!
Our Why:
MAIA Exercise Physiology was born out of a desire to empower and educate women and birthing parents, and fight misinformation about exercise during pregnancy and postpartum. Physical activity can provide so many benefits for both mother and child, and I would love to show you how!
What is Exercise Physiology?
An Accredited Exercise Physiologist is a University qualified allied health professional who prescribes exercise for those with health conditions, injuries, disabilities and population groups.
At MAIA we can assist with exercise prescription for conditions such as gestational diabetes mellitus, pelvic pain, abdominal separation, pelvic floor dysfunction and pelvic organ prolapse, as well as working with you through postpartum recovery, rehabilitation and return to exercise and sport.
We believe that all birthing parents have the right to access information and services, and we are a LGBTQI+ safe practice.
