Hey, I’m Katia and I am one of the Accredited Exercise Physiologists here at FNQ Health and Fitness. I grew up on a fruit farm near Davies Creek, and from a young age, have always loved the outdoors and physical activity! I have always been very involved in athletics and sport and played soccer from the age of 10.

I was interested in this area of work upon completion of high school, and then went on and graduated a Bachelor in Sport and Exercise Science at James Cook University in Cairns in 2018. I continued my studies in 2019, graduating a Masters of Clinical Exercise Physiology thorough Charles Sturt University in February 2020.

Not long after finishing my studies, I started my journey as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist at FNQ Health and Fitness. I have many special interest areas, but I really enjoy working with neurological conditions. The benefits of exercise are so broad, and I love to promote these!

Outside of work, I like to spend my free time with my favourite fur friend Toby, participating in sport/gym & enjoying my Italian heritage and all the food that it includes!
