Philosophy and Mission
Rachelle espouses a holistic perspective on the intricate nature of the human body, recognising its interconnectedness as a unified system. Along life’s journey, the ability to attune ourselves to the body’s intrinsic needs may become obscured by factors such as lifestyle choices and mindset patterns.
With a comprehensive educational background centered around the female body, Rachelle possesses profound insights into the hormonal system’s impact on holistic well-being. She holds a special affinity for the midlife phase and beyond, viewing these years as an opportunity for optimal equilibrium.
As a Core-Pelvic Floor Safe and Rehabilitation movement coach, Rachelle empowers women to re-engage with exercise and movement on terms that harmonise with their unique physiology. Her expertise extends to certifications in Movement and Exercise, mentoring, training, and assessment, alongside recognition as a certified trainer for older adults.
Rachelle’s coaching ethos also embraces mental health awareness, underscored by her certifications in Mental Health First Aid and as an Accidental Counsellor. This comprehensive approach aligns seamlessly with her studies in Anatomy & Physiology, chemistry, biochemistry, pathophysiological processes, nutrition, and the integration of food as medicine. Her profound understanding of the human body’s intricacies allows her to adeptly assemble the puzzle pieces that define individual well-being.
Within the local community, Rachelle’s venture, MEE Active, collaborates closely with the Gold Coast City Council Active & Healthy Program, fostering engagement through exercise classes tailored for the community’s benefit.
Rachelle’s overarching mission is to empower individuals to unravel the marvels of their distinct bodies and navigate life with balance and vitality, especially as they transition into their later years.
Meet Your Coaches
Hello, I am Rachelle, the Director of MEE ACTIVE.
I am delighted to have you here.
My philosophy centres around achieving equilibrium through harmonious living, embracing joy, and embracing movement. Through a comprehensive understanding of your body, you gain the freedom to explore, nurturing self-belief and cultivating confidence.
An adventurer at heart, I relish in exploring diverse modes of movement. From embracing the challenge of lifting weights and resistance training to the exhilaration of biking with the wind in my hair, I firmly believe that life and movement should be savoured and cherished.
A cornerstone of my identity is my unwavering commitment to learning. My pursuit of knowledge is ceaseless, and I am currently delving into the intricate relationship between pain and the brain. Additionally, I am immersing myself in the realm of biotensegrity, unraveling its implications for body rehabilitation.
Guiding individuals over 50 on their journey to understanding their bodies, moving effectively, and fostering cognitive longevity is a profound passion of mine. I hold a particular fascination for the Core (abdominal) system, proudly overseeing a unique program that specialises in core and pelvic floor engagement. This distinctive program, developed by MEE ACTIVE, equips women with the tools to integrate these vital components seamlessly into their daily lives.
Reflecting on the past decade, I take immense pride in the vibrant business and community I have cultivated. My journey has been enriched by invaluable experiences and the privilege of assisting countless remarkable individuals in stepping out of the sidelines and embracing life’s offerings. If you are prepared, I stand ready to extend my guidance to you as well.
We look forward to welcoming you to our community.
Warm regards,
Rachelle x
