Coaching and support to help you improve and maintain your health

About me

Hello - my name is Clea. I have had the privilege of being a GP since 2012, and I have a strong interest in both mental wellbeing and in the use of lifestyle interventions to prevent and help manage chronic disease. I am an accredited health coach and a Medicare-registered provider of Focussed Psychological Strategies (FPS).

Whilst I enjoy using these skills in my general practice work, I have founded Resonance Lifestyle to be able to offer both health coaching and counselling as stand-alone services separate from my general practitioner role, allowing me to conduct longer appointments with a focus on wellbeing.

Outside of work I am a mum to two primary school-aged children, and enjoy reading, walking, cooking and camping.
