About me
Training and support from someone who gets it.
JaxAssist is a small family business. I'm a qualified personal trainer with a Certificate IV in Fitness, and I've lived with autism and ADHD my whole life. That's a big part of why I do this work. I know first-hand what it's like when things need to be done a little differently, and I bring that same patience and understanding to every session. Whatever your goals, we'll work at your pace, on your terms, and completely without judgement.
Physical and mental health are both a real passion of mine, and when I'm not training you'll usually find me messing around with anything technology-related or mixing music. However, I love learning new stuff, so if you would like to info dump about any special interests, I'm your guy.
Recently, I've added mentoring to my role because I've noticed that a lot of neurodivergent young people don't always feel safe, accepted or understood in some environments. I want to offer a space where people can build trust, feel comfortable and be themselves without feeling judged. For me, it's about building genuine connections and making people feel accepted for who they are.

Frequently asked questions
How does payment work if I'm on the NDIS?
JaxAssist invoices your plan manager by email at the end of each month, so there's nothing for you to sort out.
Do you come to me, or do I come to you?
JaxAssist runs out of a purpose-built gym room, so you're welcome to come to me. If getting there is a barrier, I can offer transport, if arranged prior or necessary.
Do I need to be an NDIS participant to receive your services?
Not at all. Everyone's welcome, whether you're on the NDIS or not.
What happens in the free first session?
The first session is all about getting to know you. We'll talk through what you're into and where you're at with your fitness, so I can design an exercise experience tailored to you and your needs. No pressure, and no obligation to keep going.
Where are you located?
My studio is in Somerville, however transport can be arranged for some clients if necessary at an additional cost.
