Join Noella and I as we dive into working with female athletes as an exercise physiologist.

Noella has been an AEP and AES since 2008. After leaving university in Far North Queensland, Noella's long-term aspiration is to have her own business where she can provide clinical support to regional communities. With a background in elite level rugby she faced many challenges that all women in sport face, including the impact this level of training has on the menstrual cycle and the lack of support when transitioning into pregnancy. Noella's clinical focus shifted to female health and wellbeing in physical activity and sports. She contributes to the AIS Female Performance and Health Initiative Industry Reference Group and conducts female athlete workshops across various sporting groups and their pathway programs throughout NSW.
