In this weeks episode we meet Freya Simmonds, an Exercise Physiologist based in Noosa, Sunshine Coast QLD.

Freya's lived experience coming from a military family is a big asset when it comes to being able to communicate in the language of veterans, first responders and their immediate support. Her no BS approach quickly builds rapport, ascertains the needs, how best to engage in a meaningful way that benefits her clients in a energetic, fun and social way.

For some veterans it can be difficult to take the first steps getting off the couch, it can also be daunting going to a gym for many people let alone veterans and first responders who may have been socially isolated for some time. Her approach and services is also open to the immediate support / carer of of the veteran...building a meaningful relationship and easing them into a program that is customised and achievable for her clients.

Freya shares some strategies to make the whole process of how to access Exercise Physiology services as part of your self-care plan. Going above and beyond she also gives some tips on how to best setup a communication / reporting and referral plan with your GP and DVA so it makes it easier for you to get started and continue your training.
