Accredited Exercise Physiologist
Lucy Ashby
Lucy graduated with her Bachelor of Exercise Science in 2013. She pursued her studies in Physiotherapy; however, found her true passion was in lifestyle modification, education and prevention of chronic diseases by using exercise as ‘medicine.’ Lucy was awarded her Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology (Distinction) in 2016. Lucy carries a diverse range of knowledge and understanding of the importance of a holistic approach to individual healthcare.
Lucy has had experience in private practices and multidisciplinary clinics such as the Branyan clinic. She relocated to Bundaberg in September 2017 to begin her journey at the Branyan clinic in both cardiac rehabilitation and chronic disease management. Her approach is very much individualised and she aims to create an environment that is supportive and promotes physical and emotional growth for her clients. Lucy understands that individuals are at different stages in their chronic disease journey and adjusts her approach to suit.
Lucy is the program coordinator of our newest program, Lift for Life. One of her many passions lies within diabetes management. Lucy values the importance of education (self-management) and lifelong exercise management for chronic diseases. She believes strongly in evidence-based practice.
Lucy certainly practices what she preaches. If she is not in the clinic, she is outside enjoying an active lifestyle and exploring Bundaberg. Some of her hobbies include: dragon boat paddling, walking her dog or attending the gym.
Lucy is currently an Exercise Science and Sports Science Australia member.
