Grace is passionate about implementing the latest research findings into her clinical practice, to provide the most up-to-date education and exercise prescription to help improve the lives of those she works with.

In her spare time, Grace enjoys living by the beach with her husband and two little pug fur babies. Of course, she keeps active and enjoys the daily ritual of movement. She is an avid exerciser, part-time yogi, full-time pug-mum and lover of simple moments in the sunshine and by the sea.
