Nadia
Nadia is a Clinical Exercise Physiologist at Longevity Health and Fitness. She specialises in cardiopulmonary and neurological rehabilitation, working with individuals of all ages who have chronic health conditions and layered diagnoses. Nadia’s approach is empathic, patient-centred, and evidence-based, ensuring that her patients receive compassionate and effective care tailored to their specific situations.
Nadia works with a broad and diverse client base, managing a range of conditions such as cardiovascular disease, COPD, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, arthritis, and mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression. With a special interest in neurological and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, she particularly enjoys working with older adults and those navigating multi-layered health challenges.
Her approach to exercise prescription is highly individualised and goal-oriented, with a focus on functional outcomes and long-term quality of life. Nadia incorporates a variety of evidence-based modalities, including strength and resistance training, balance and coordination exercises and cardiovascular conditioning. She places a strong emphasis on clinical safety, education, and motivating clients to take an active role in their health.
Her clinical experience spans community health, paediatrics, Indigenous healthcare, and inpatient mental health settings. She works collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams – alongside physiotherapists, psychologists, case managers, and other allied health professionals to ensure integrated, patient-centred care. Nadia also utilises motivational interviewing and health coaching as key tools to support lasting behaviour change and improved client outcomes.
Beyond individual therapy, Nadia was a lead facilitator of Australia’s first intergenerational health program uniting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals across age groups. In this role, she conceptualised and implemented a culturally responsive program within a clinical setting, developed outcome measures, and oversaw its delivery across multiple sites. The program demonstrated significant improvements in intergenerational connectedness, reduced loneliness in older adults, and enhanced cultural awareness in younger participants. Nadia also completed formal training in intergenerational practice to complement this work.
In addition, she has delivered group education sessions on cardiovascular and pulmonary health, facilitated hydrotherapy classes for chronic disease management, and contributed to concussion research at Queensland University of Technology, conducting assessments on athletes. Her clinical placements in adolescent mental health inpatient units and school-based athletic programs have equipped her with adaptable skills for working with diverse populations in both clinical and performance settings.
Nadia is passionate about the role of exercise in restoring health, building resilience, and enhancing mental well-being. She is committed to using exercise as medicine and is dedicated to helping clients live more independently, confidently, and actively through personalised, evidence-informed care.
