Melissa Parks (Mel), Restorative Exercise Specialist

Working in movement health for 20 years I've studied extensively at home and abroad. In the simplest of terms I am a Movement Health Educator, but underpinning that is 20 years of experience, having attained Senior Yoga Teacher status with Yoga Australia, qualified as a Personal Trainer and Somatic Exercise Coach and studied intensively with Paul and Suzee Grilley (Yin Yoga) in America. These trainings were all wonderful and inform what I do every day, but my main focus is an evolving optimal movement health program that is guided by my ongoing study with the remarkable Katy Bowman MS. I am one of the few qualified Restorative Exercise Specialists in Australia and am so grateful to be able to share this work my community.
