Measure the body. Understand the pattern.
Treat what needs treatment. Train what needs rebuilding.
Assessment-led therapy and rehabilitation guided by objective measurement, specialised assessment tools, individual biomechanics, and the person in front of me.
I look beyond isolated symptoms to understand the wider pattern — how posture, movement, range of motion, muscular balance, breathing, sleep, stress, digestion, energy, nutrition and recovery may be influencing pain, function and resilience.
From there, I establish a clear baseline and build a tailored plan around what your assessment reveals. That may combine remedial therapy, corrective movement, strength training, physiology-based breathwork and practical holistic health strategies to improve the way you move, recover, perform and function over time.
The aim is not simply to chase symptoms. It is to understand the system they sit within, address what is actually contributing, and build a body that is more capable, resilient and sustainable in the long term.
“If I’m not assessing, I’m guessing. First I find the pattern behind the posture. Then we begin.” Working principle, Wellness & Lore
Assessment-Led Rehabilitation & Remedial Therapy
Every body presents differently. Rather than beginning with a generic exercise programme or massage routine, the process starts by measuring how your body moves. Detailed postural assessment, joint range-of-motion testing, goniometry, plumb-line analysis and movement screening are used to build an objective profile of your posture, restrictions, asymmetries and compensation patterns.
Those findings are documented in a personal assessment database, creating a measurable baseline that can be revisited and reassessed over time. From there, remedial therapy and corrective rehabilitation are developed from the same assessment findings, allowing hands-on treatment and movement work to support one another rather than function as separate services.
The Process
Four stages shape every client relationship. What changes is the direction the assessment points us in.
Every assessment begins with objective measurement using specialised tools such as goniometry, spinal and CHEK inclinometers, forward head callipers, plumb-line analysis and movement screening. Together, they help us understand how your body is positioned, how it moves, and where restriction or compensation may be occurring before treatment begins.
40+ individual measurements and movement assessments recorded in a single client evaluation.
Range-of-motion values, postural observations, pain patterns and movement findings are logged into a personal assessment database, creating a clear record of where you started and what changes over time.
Selected measurements from a real client assessment. Values are recorded to establish a baseline and guide reassessment over time.
The assessment determines what comes next.
Findings guide whether the work is hands-on, movement-based, or a combination of both. Treatment, programming and nutritional guidance are shaped around what the assessment reveals, with lifestyle support running alongside the process rather than being treated as a separate piece.
Remedial massage and soft-tissue work are directed by the assessment findings. Rather than treating only where discomfort is felt, the aim is to address relevant restrictions, tissue tension and compensatory patterns that may be influencing movement or pain.
Corrective exercise and mobility restore the capacities that testing shows need attention. From there, a structured strength training programme builds on that foundation, progressing load, control and resilience as the body changes.
Progress isn’t judged by how you feel alone. Key measurements are repeated and compared against your original baseline that I recorded, allowing treatment and programming to adapt as your body changes.
I don’t guess whether it’s working. I measure again.
Map of the assessment
Seven areas. Around seventy individual tests and measures.Open each area to see what I assess, what I measure, and why it matters. Your assessment is tailored to your history, goals and initial findings, so not every test will apply to every client.Switch on the clinical names if you want the technical detail.
Not every client needs every test. Your assessment is tailored to your history, goals and what the initial findings reveal. Relevant measures are then repeated at reassessment so progress is tracked against your own baseline.

1:1 Holistic Assessment
Posture and movement tell only part of the story. Alongside the physical assessment, I take every client through a series of meticulous questionnaires, reviewing health history, nutrition, digestion, sleep, stress, recovery, daily habits and current goals in detail.
Together, these findings create a more complete picture of what may be influencing the way you feel, move and recover, so the plan is built around the person as a whole, not just the area that hurts.
Your health history, current concerns, digestion, nutrition, sleep, stress, recovery, previous approaches and goals are documented in detail.
Over several days, you record what you eat and drink, how you move, how you sleep and when you rest. This gives us a picture of your actual routine, not just what you remember in the moment.
We review everything together, online or in person. This is where the context comes through: what has changed, what keeps repeating, what has already been tried and what matters most to you.
Your lifestyle and health information is considered alongside the physical findings. From there, treatment, movement programming, nutrition and lifestyle guidance are shaped around the same overall picture and reassessed as things change.

For Hotels, Resorts & Retreat Spaces
Wellness & Lore partners with luxury properties to bring assessment-led bodywork, corrective movement, strength training and holistic wellness into the guest experience, whether as a premium spa offering, retreat feature, private in-room service, or staff wellness programme.
Each partnership begins with a short consultation around your guest profile, property setting, available facilities and season, so the offering is shaped to fit the property rather than the other way around.
Assessment-led remedial massage and bodywork offered as a premium addition to the spa menu, bookable per guest stay.
Private strength training and corrective movement sessions in the hotel or retreat gym, built from the guest’s assessment, goals and physical capacity, so every session is purposeful, safe and progressive.
A questionnaire-led 1:1 health assessment covering sleep, digestion, energy, stress, breathing, nutrition and recovery, followed by practical, personalised guidance a guest can carry home. Offered as a stand-alone consultation or alongside bodywork and movement during the stay.
Multi-day movement, yoga, breathwork and recovery programming built around the rhythm and aims of the retreat.
Postural screening, corrective movement, strength work and bodywork for hospitality teams exposed to repetitive physical demands.

Founder, Wellness & Lore
Wellness & Lore is built around one simple principle: if I’m not assessing, I’m guessing.
My work began with yoga in Cusco, Peru, in 2016, and over the years developed into a more precise, assessment-led practice shaped by CHEK Practitioner Level III training, a Diploma of Remedial Massage, corrective movement, strength training, holistic health coaching and physiology-based breathwork.
As that work evolved, I began incorporating a detailed 1:1 holistic health assessment into the practice. It looks beyond pain or posture alone and examines how the wider system is functioning — sleep, digestion, energy, stress, breathing, nutrition, movement, recovery, lifestyle and the patterns that connect them. The aim is to understand the person in front of me as a whole, rather than treating one isolated complaint in a vacuum.
Every client begins with measurement. I look at how you move, where you compensate, what your history suggests, what your current lifestyle may be contributing, and what your goals demand. From there, I choose the tools that fit the person in front of me rather than forcing everyone through the same routine.
That may mean remedial therapy, corrective movement, strength training, breathing work, lifestyle coaching, or a combination of several approaches. The assessment guides the process, and relevant measures can be revisited over time so progress is compared against your own baseline rather than a generic standard.
I practice independently on Australia’s Sunshine Coast and also work with private clients internationally, with recent work across Peru, France, Spain, the UK, Brazil and Mexico.
