Cathy Purcell
With over 30 years experience in the Health and Fitness Industries, Owner/Operator Cathy Purcell brings together a wealth of experience to provide comprehensive and tailored programs for improving and maintaining gut health, focusing on weight loss, fitness and physical and emotional detoxification methods.
With qualifications in Fitness, Colonic Hydrotherapy, First Aid, Aged Care and her extensive years of experience owning and operating Health and Fitness Centre’s, Cathy has personally trained hundreds of people from all walks and stages of life.
Through Cathy’s own experiences she has always known proper nutrition and physical activity can keep the body in check, however over the years she turned her attention to what she recognised as the missing link to achieving overall health - GUT Health. With these three elements combined, well-being begins to take on a whole new meaning.
With a commitment to good nutrition and physical activity Cathy’s focus naturally moved onto educating clients on the benefits of paying attention to the health of their gastrointestinal tract.
“I believe that by bringing awareness to how the lifestyle choices we make negatively impact the delicate balance of our digestive system, I am providing the opportunity for my clients to address what could be the missing link to ensuring their ongoing health and longevity.”
Beyond the physical benefits, Neuropsychological studies have started to illuminate links between Gastrointestinal and Mental Health through the “gut-brain axis”. By taking care of our microbiome — the diverse bacteria in our gastrointestinal tract — we can address all aspects of our well being: digestive, physical and mental.
Cathy’s innovative methods have benefited a wide range of the community, from celebrities such as John “Sam” Newman, Lilian Frank, Bob Jane, Steve Price, to AFL football players to executives, housewives, teenagers and children. But just like Cathy says, “Everyone is a star in their own right!”
