Looking forward to a future of fun & fulfilment
Our Team
Phillipa Batts RN, BSR, PG Dip Health Science
Growing up in New Zealand fostered a love for the outdoors and playing hard. I loved being physically strong, active and healthy. A nursing qualification gave an appreciation for the challenges many people face to live well. Later, as a “mature student” further study in physical activity, nutrition and older adult health cemented a passion for finding creative solutions for supporting older adults to be stronger and more active, to enjoy the people and pass-times that bring joy and meaning to living.
