So much work in the back end . . . quality education, mentorship, teaching, care, expertise & purposeful proven passion & results.
Not to create an athlete or winner of a sport - but to create a happy healthy freely moving strong mobile human! Especially as you age proudly confidently and well 💪🏼👣💃🏽☯️🧘🏽‍♀️🙏🏼♥️

TERM 3 bookings OPEN – Earlybird bonus term break recording trio of T2 Programs FREE – book by Mon 22 June.

After recent Healthy Ageing Summit , I felt very encouraged and positive that APT Programs are absolutely on point addressing the whole person as they age. A privilege - not a predicament.

BODYART Training, APT curated Programs – Mindful Monday & EXPRESS 30, BREATH Sessions and the S.M.I.L.E – Mobility Matters Course are in many ways way ahead of their time.

Small business CAN be cutting edge and leading the way. We just don’t have a big marketing machine yelling it to the world under a glossy eye catching expensive marketing campaign.

All bookings are available via the website & online booking system & in comments ⬇️

SMILE recordings x 5 from a live course with legends is available to access till 12 Dec 2026.

See you soon at a casual session in T2 finishing 26 June or T3 for 10 week programs to change your life with the power of moving and breathing.

Just home after an excellent Healthy Ageing Summit 2026

Going to the Gold Coast was a nice step away from Melbourne.

What an incredible connected group we became over the 2 very full days! World class presenters, some I have followed & watched evolve over decades! The knowledge & education was cutting edge & deeply researched & relevant. We need this and the Aussie ageing population need us!

Congratulations to Ken & Karen Baldwin & team - you are creating something so unique but essential for us all to age well and live quality fulfilling lives.

Had 3.5 hrs sleep on Sunday night . . . happily.

I had 2 tickets booked for Sat night to see Guy Sebastian 100 Times Around The Sun Tour at Margaret Court Arena. I booked them the day bookings opened.

Having followed Guy since he won Australian Idol in 2003 - 23 years ago (watched with my 2 young sons) I believe Guy is one of Australia’s finest singer/songwriters. I love his voice and the music he has written

Great night had on Sat with my friend Leah - our seats were excellent & we loved it all! Sam Fischer was the best support act I have ever seen. Guy was a perfect mix of a consummate performer/story teller & generous humble humorous human. His band & singers are incredible & of course his 12 year old son Archer is astounding (beautiful to observe the proud Dad in Guy)

I came home feeling a new energy I’ve not felt for quite some time. The magic of live music - excellent production & people gathered to feel joy & simply be themselves. I had to bop around - it’s a happiness reset for me - always has been. I feel music in my body not just my ears.

Sun arvo rolled around - I knew it was Guys final show of the tour that night. I was listening to all his music - dancing around my kitchen, prepping for the new working week ahead - hanging onto the magic of Sat night.

Then the final Sunday Concert popped up in my Spotify - I giggled to myself - it was 4pm. 💡 I wonder if there is a random single ticket on sale ? I looked - there was . . . then told myself - don’t be silly & cancelled it. But something said to me - take another 👀 & see if it’s real - a different single ticket came up & bingo I had bought it!

Turned out - my solo ticket was seated right next to Guy’s brother & family & seated in front of me was & some Fox FM peeps. Duets & antics ensued.

Danced & bopped my heart out 💃🏽🎶🤩🕺🏽🥰

Spontaneity has not been in my single Mum uber responsible small biz scheduled life.

This weekend I felt free & grateful - at 65 I am super mobile & love moving/dancing/bopping/feeling the LIVE music and as corny as it may sound that helped me feel like ‘me’.

Thanks Guy & your fab gang 🙏🏼💃🏽😁🎶🤩♥️

Hello

Today I am grateful for: Reflection, spontaneous sunshine pauses, sleeping in, deep sensitive soft feelings led with love for self & those I love & respect - who also respect & value me ♥️

Last week I saw a post from a Pilates Teacher I respect - sure he was aiming to stir things up & felt I needed to respond. I sent him a personal video directly and I made this response in my story.

Perhaps this message will resonate & remind you too.

Quality is never found in quantity of likes and views . . . in fact the true quality is inside you - look with vulnerability there - if you dare

Andrea 🤗🙋🏻‍♀️♥️

This is my reality each morning - no exaggeration!
I get a little tired of seeing people on socials only showing themselves in peak form looking happy. No-one is in great form all the time 😬🫩

At 65 - my reality is I am stiff & my body is cranky when I get up. After my shower and getting dressed - walking downstairs I feel all of my 65 years - the ankle injury that never healed I’ve had 50 years, arthritis in my big toe metatarsal, tight hips (too much ballet training forcing them) I literally waddle.

BUT I will not settle for THAT . . . and I don’t have to! It’s why I created EXPRESS 30 - about 6 years ago during lockdowns. People wanted a short snappy workout they could do easily at home - to get all joints oiled, mobilise their bodies, align & shine, improve strength, agility & give them some huffy puffy happy endorphins - to be energised and in a good productive mood! 😁

This really was me this morning . . . we can have a giggle - but if I don’t move for 30 mins in all ways, I would remain waddling in pain for the rest of my day.

One of my long standing clients who just came back from 5 weeks overseas in her 60’s - said at the end of the session. ‘Feel much better for moving. Works a miracle!’

Even better a full week recording access is provided - those who did the live session have personalised encouragement & corrections they can review and improve on. I always say repetition is your friend.

EXPRESS 30 is my consistent friend . . . maybe it’s the friend you need to kick off your day consistently with too 😉💃🏽💫
