OUR HISTORY

We first started offering Exercise Physiology and Clinical Pilates in Healesville in 2013.

We worked alongside a great team of practitioners at The Healesville Chiropractic Clinic, opposite the Hospital.

When we outgrew the space we moved into our current home at The Healesville Wellness Factory in 2016 and added The Yarra Valley Wellness Clinic (Seville) in 2020.

We work alongside Osteopaths, Pilates and Yoga instructors, Remedial Massage Therapists, Beauty Therapists and Meditation teachers in a multidisciplinary wellness centre.
