Hi, I am Dr Melissa Pearson (Dr Mel). I am an accredited exercise physiologist (AEP), accredited Exercise Scientist (AES), health coach, and experienced educator and researcher. I am also the owner of Exerceo Exercise Physiology, an online (virtual) exercise physiology, personal training, health coaching and education business.
After a long career in accounting, I was drawn to my true passion which was exercise. I have over 20 years of experience in working with clients in the health and fitness industry. Starting with qualifications in personal training and group fitness instructing, I moved on to becoming an accredited exercise physiologist in 2014 and gained my PhD in Exercise Physiology.
When I work with my clients (with you), my goal is to empower you by equipping you with the knowledge and skills needed to achieve your goals while enjoying the process.
I have a passion for exercise.
I believe exercise has a major impact on a person's mental and physical wellbeing.
As a stage 3 breast cancer survivor, I can personally attest to the benefits of exercise on health and recovery.
I continue to experience the benefits of exercise in my own life.
