I'm Mairi, a menopause exercise specialist, educator and speaker with 23 years of experience across Sport and Exercise Science, Pilates, Clinical Movement, and Soft Tissue Therapy.
With 23 years across Sport & Exercise Science, Clinical Pilates, and soft tissue therapy, I've spent my career working hands-on with the human body from supporting elite athletes, as part of the Australian Olympic Medical Team, to helping everyday clients manage pain, recover from injury and build the strength and physical capacity to move and live well.
I've taught Pilates for over 20 years and have spent the past few years developing and delivering menopause programmes for women, before expanding my work to educate the fitness and Pilates professionals who support them. Today, I bring that depth of clinical, teaching and practical experience to menopause fitness education, helping hundreds of fitness professionals across Australia confidently train and support women 40+.
Here's the gap I keep seeing: everyone knows menopause is a "hot topic" right now. Far fewer people know what to actually do about it as a business, as a trainer, or as an individual working with women 40+.
That's what I speak on. No fluff, no fear-mongering, just evidence-informed, practical strategies your audience can use straight after they leave the room.
