To help you be the healthiest version of yourself

A RETREAT RUN BY A QUALIFIED PHYSIOTHERAPIST & PERSONAL TRAINER
Hi! I’m Mary, your retreat host.
I have a background in Physiotherapy and am currently a Personal Trainer with over 15 years combined experience.
I love nothing more than to help women understand how to move their bodies well, building strength and stability as well as learning how to nourish themselves well with good nutrition.
I hit Menopause at the age of 41 and know all too well the impact this can have on motivation, self-confidence, energy levels, sleep quality, mental health, physical changes and how we perceive ourselves.
This has motivated me more than ever to reach as many women as I can and help you to realise the potential you have and give you the tools you need to maintain a balanced, healthy, energised life.
Our very first retreat will be held in port elliot (1hr 15mins outside of Adelaide cbd) on Friday 28th february - Sunday 2nd march with the option of staying overnight (arrive from 3pm friday, depart around 7:30pm/8pm sunday after dinner)
or
attending for the daytime only (8:30am - 5:30pm saturday & sunday).

A 24 page comprehensive Guide that takes you through a step-by-step video assessment so you can UNDERSTAND WHY your squat is uncomfortable or not as deep as you'd like it to be. From the assessment results you are directed to the appropriate mobility routines to help improve the areas of your body that are affecting your squat.
There is no guess work with this, the mobility routines recommended are as a result of what came up for you during the assessments. So it is very individualised. The mobility routines are follow along videos.
These are the same movements and techniques I've used with thousands of clients in the past to improve their squat with great results.
You have access to me if you would like to send me a video of your squat to give you feedback or if you need help with anything in the Guide.
There are always modifications for movements that may be too challenging and lots of educational explanations so you can understand why you're doing each move & learn to understand your body better.
Your Downloadable PDF will be sent to you in an email.
