Project Description
Hi, I’m Chelsea I primarily do one-on-one sessions with clients presenting with a chronic condition, that could be pain, musculoskeletal injury, cardiovascular disease or neurological impairment. I use education, exercise prescription and intervention to improve the physical health and mental wellness of my clients, help set some goals and watch them thrive when we meet those goals
Favourite Quote: “Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from making bad decisions”
Favourite Book/Podcast: Anything short and sweet. I find my free time can get limited pretty quickly, so I read more often if they are shorter rather than a long-drawn-out story. If I’m not listening to an audiobook – Dark History is a pretty good podcast. It explores the dark side of history that wasn’t taught in schools.
MORE ABOUT ME
When pain, or an impairment stop a client’s ability to complete the thing in their life that they enjoy, it can be really upsetting. I want to fix that feeling. I really love seeing clients work on themselves and watch them get back to their enjoyment, whether that’s a sport, a hobby or just spending more time with the people that they love. It’s incredibly rewarding.
I graduated from JCU 2020, In my first year – post graduation – I found an interest with NDIS clientele. I came to Achieve soon after to grow that knowledge and experience to upskill my level of prescription to specialise with clients with physical, and/or neurological impairments.
The supportive staff environment, if I ever feel like I’m stuck with a problem, every single one of my colleagues are willing to sit down with me and help come up with a solution or alternative approach to assist with the client in mind.
Although born in Melbourne, I have lived in Townsville my entire life. Pre-covid, traveling was a major interest and love in my life, I love visiting new places, meeting new people, and living for a sense of adventure. In the past, I have delved into Tae Kwon Do, netball, volleyball, and swimming, and more recently resistance training at the gym as my primary mode of exercise. Including the in-laws, I have 8 sisters – so nothing in my life is quiet these days.
Inclusiveness, sense of humor, and respect.
I enjoy spending time with the people I love – if an adventure is involved it’s always a bonus. I’m usually outdoors, being a great plant-mum, or camping.
