About:

Merissa is a certified personal trainer and registered psychologist who supports clients in achieving sustainable, long-term fitness outcomes through the integration of exercise science and psychological principles. She specializes in bodyweight and functional training, tailoring programs that enhance strength, coordination, and mobility, while also addressing the mental barriers and unhelpful patterns that often impede progress.

Her evidence-based methodology draws from exercise science, nutrition, and neuroscience, promoting lasting lifestyle changes rather than short-term fixes. Through a holistic and compassionate coaching style, Merissa helps individuals build habits that support both physical and psychological well-being, laying the foundation for lifelong strength, resilience, and confidence.

As a calisthenics coach, Merissa advocates for a practical and inclusive approach to movement. She aims to demystify calisthenics, highlighting its accessibility and effectiveness for individuals at any fitness level. Her goal is to empower clients to move better, build strength, and challenge themselves in meaningful, enjoyable ways—without the pressure of performing advanced or flashy skills.

Beyond calisthenics, she’s a catmum to a tuxedo cat with a serious treat addiction, making her retirement fund nothing more than a distant fantasy.
