Miss Angela Pizzatti

Exercise Physiologist

As an AEP and AES, I endeavour to help those who are looking to improve their daily lives through exercise. It is my goal to provide those in my care with a safe and fun environment where they can enjoy exercise. It is with this approach, in conjunction with evidence based practice and individualised care that I strive to enable clients to empower themselves and assist them in their own journey. I love working with anyone and everyone but have a soft spot for those with cancer, neurological conditions, musculoskeletal conditions and mental health. The great thing about being both an AEP and an AES means that I get to work with a diverse range of clientele and help a much broader spectrum.
