Emerge Age

At Emerge Health and Wellness Hub, we believe true health isn’t just about years lived — it’s about how well you can move, live, and enjoy life at every age. That’s why we’ve created the Emerge Functional Age Program: a personalised assessment designed to measure how you move, load and how well your body is ageing, far beyond the number on your birth certificate.

​

Through a series of in-depth, comprehensive tests — covering balance, strength, balance, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, mobility, biomechanics, and daily activity — we give you a clear picture of your current “functional age.”

 

More importantly, we show you exactly where you can improve and how small changes today can protect your independence, prevent injury, and support your longevity.

​

Whether your goal is to stay active with your kids, travel with ease, or simply future-proof your body, the Emerge Functional Age Program gives you the roadmap. Think of it as an investment in your future self — stronger, more capable, and ready for life.

Emerge Age is a comprehensive series of tests grounded in real-world data. The concept is simple: if your results match the average for someone of your age and demographic — for example, a 46-year-old female — then your functional age will reflect your actual age. If your results fall below average, your functional age will appear older. If you score above average, it will show a younger functional age.

​

These tests cover key areas of health and performance, giving you a clear picture of where you’re thriving and where you may need to improve. By identifying strengths and weaknesses now, you’ll know exactly what to focus on to maintain — and even improve — your functionality, independence, and longevity as you get older.

My journey into health care started long before I became a chiropractor — it began with my own story of pain. At 18, I developed severe knee pain that left me barely able to walk. For over a year and a half I limped through life with no answers as to why my knee was in such pain, undergoing scans, seeing physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, and even some of the most highly regarded practitioners in the country. The best I was offered was strong painkillers — which left me with a stomach ulcer, but no real solution.

​

It wasn’t until by serendipity  I met an up-and-coming chiropractor, who I now regard as one of the best in Australia, that things changed. He looked at the bigger picture, not just my knee, and discovered the real issue. I had a growth in my hip causing impingement and dysfunction.

 

Under his guidance, I had surgery, completed intensive rehab, and have been pain-free ever since. That experience didn’t just give me my life back; it gave me a mission.

​

I knew then that I wanted to help others the way I had been helped — by looking deeper, by treating the whole person, and by focusing on restoring function and quality of life.

 

I went on to study chiropractic, completing a double degree with distinction in both. Throughout my 5 years of study I worked as a personal trainer and was proud to be named Personal Trainer of the Year across Australia in my gym franchise.

 

Since graduating, I’ve invested thousands of hours and dollars into advanced rehab courses and continue to study the human body passionately in my own time.

​

When people meet me, they quickly see that this isn’t just a career — it’s my calling. The Emerge Functional Age Program is built on that same philosophy: understanding the whole picture, identifying what truly matters for long-term health, and giving people the tools to live stronger, healthier, and more independent lives.
