Exercise Physiologist
Mary Collins
Belmont and Canning Vale
My current qualifications include Masters of Clinical Exercise Physiology from Curtin University, a Bachelor Degree of Exercise and Sport Science from the University of Notre Dame and Certificate IV in Fitness. My passion for exercise and rehabilitation has stemmed from my love for playing sport, working with professionals within WAFL and being actively involved in community groups.
I enjoy helping people and engaging them in regular physical activity that they can sustain and enjoy all throughout life! Valuing the importance of education and the benefits of exercise whilst having fun in sessions to promote living healthy lifestyles.
