Our 5-Star Reviews

Gym Comeback Succes

Angie returned to the gym stronger and pain-free with a personalised training and massage program designed just for her.

Pain-Free Grandparenting

Susan can now walk 1.5 km pain-free and play joyfully with her grandkids after just one month of knee-focused care.

Scoliosis Relief

Laurie reached out to me due to tremendous pain from scoliosis. We improved her scoliosis, and she no longer needs to take pain medication.

Frozen Shoulder Recovery

Ketna’s case was particularly special. After a surfing accident, Ketna’s shoulder was dislocated and later became frozen. Even her brother, a physiotherapist in the UK, said that this type of frozen shoulder would typically require surgery, both in England and in Australia. I’m still grateful to Dina for recommending me, which led Ketna to come see me. Her shoulder healed beautifully, and she was able to return to the gym pain-free.

Walking Independence Restored

Due to a congenital condition, Inga lost her stability and her leg was constantly in spasm — she could only walk with assistance. The AFGC METHOD helped her regain the ability to walk independently.

Post-Accident Pain Relief

After a serious accident, Viola struggled with constant pain, and her body was covered in stitches, leaving her feeling stiff and restricted. After just the first session, she felt relief and received exercises to do at home — which significantly reduced her symptoms.

Regained Mobility

At our first meeting, Judith couldn’t come upstairs, so I had to treat her on the ground floor. After the treatment she was able to walk up the stairs on her own.

Plantar Fasciitis

Andi works as a cleaner, so it was very important for her to avoid injury. She had severe foot pain, which we completely resolved with just 2–3 minutes of massage — and it hasn’t returned since.

Katrina contacted me about intense left hip pain affecting their mobility for two years. Thanks to the Afgc Method, we were able to avoid surgery and achieve significant improvement in their movement.

Regained Mobility

Peter works as a restaurant manager. He came to me with back pain, but since we resolved it quickly, we continued with training and began preparing him for competition.

Anxiety & Weight Management Success

“I have had crippling anxiety since I was a child and was recently put on anxiety medications, which have made me gain a significant amount of weight. The idea of going to a full gym with a whole lot of other people was completely impossible for me, so when I found Andi, I knew she would be perfect for me! She not only has been a personal trainer but an accountability coach, where I can check in and send her photos when I’m on my daily walks, etc., to prove I’m doing my homework! She’s given me the motivation to change up my diet and finally start drinking water, which has already made a significant difference in just a matter of a few weeks!” Georgia

Frozen Shoulder Recovery

Bill had been suffering from frozen shoulder for 6 months. After treatment, he regained mobility in his arm and his shoulder is no longer in pain.

My lovely Let’s Walk Gold Coast group has been walking every Saturday for the past three years — and many wonderful friendships have formed since then.

Christy's Comeback: Stronger Without Pain

“Andi is very knowledgeable and attentive to her clients. Her focus is identifying weakness and imbalance (which in a scoliosis client like me are many) and then working on strengthening. I would highly recommend touching base with Andy for an assessment.” Christy

Frozen Shoulder

“I had a excellent treatment from Andi for my frozen shoulder injury.
I had previously undergone several physio treatments from other physiotherapist and I could see that Andi’s methods were different and seems to be more effective. My shoulder feels much better today!
Highly recommended!” David from Canada

"Instant Relief for My Hand Injury – Unbelievable!"

“I had a strained hand from a Dog pulling at me while Dog Grooming, and Andi did pressure point on my hand and it was feeling better within minutes and fully better with in a day, it was amazing, l’ve never seen anything like it before. Thank you Andi” Andrea

Personalised Care Helped Annie Heal Her Back – Fast

When Annie first reached out to me, she was struggling with severe back pain that was affecting her daily life. Simple movements felt difficult, and the discomfort was constant. We started working together with focused massage sessions to release the tension and reduce her pain. From there, I designed a personalised exercise routine tailored to her specific needs, helping her rebuild strength and stability in her back.

The combination of hands-on treatment and targeted exercises worked quickly — within a short time, Annie experienced significant relief. She was amazed at how much easier everyday activities became, and it was wonderful to see her regain her confidence and freedom of movement without pain holding her back.

Significant Relief After Just Two Sessions

“I decided to try AFGC Wellness Studio after five years of chronic back pain from a bulging disc and spinal stress fractures. Andi, an exceptional therapist, has shown great care in addressing my pain, and after just two sessions, I’m already feeling significant improvement and trust her expertise in my recovery.”

"Instant Relief for My Hand Injury – Unbelievable!"

If a cortisone injection didn’t fix your shoulder, that’s not the end!

“If a cortisone injection didn’t fix your shoulder, that’s not the end. Injections reduce pain, but they don’t correct the cause. There is another way.”

From 20 Years of Pain to Pain Free – Avoid Steroid

“20 years of shoulder pain. Doctor suggested injections — or next step, he was ready for a steroid injection, but decided to give himself one more chance. After just one session, his shoulder started moving again. Within two weeks — the pain was gone.”

Nose unblocked with Shoulder Massage – in Moments

“He came in with a blocked nose. His shoulders and neck were extremely tight as well. Once that released, the pressure eased ✨ and he could breathe freely again. The body is always connected.”

Frozen Shoulder | Online session

“She reached out to me from California. Frozen shoulder. Months of pain. No single injury. No real progress — despite trying everything. We worked online, step by step. Calm, precise steps. Nothing that “triggers pain.” She did exactly what I guided her to do. One hour later — her arm was moving and pain free. Real change. Even from across the world.”

Treatment after Leg Surgery

“He had his surgery while away and was told his rehabilitation was slow. And when he reached back to training, lifting, contact and pain-free, I’m so proud of him. His dedication and hard work pay off.”

Treatment after Finger Surgery

“After finger surgery, he was left with pain and stiffness. With targeted rehabilitation of the fingers and the whole arm, mobility returned ✔️ strength improved ✔️ pain resolved”

Real stories from real people

"Lucky to meet Andi after an unsuccessful shoulder operation! As an ex medical doctor I gave my trust to a superficial but confident specialist surgeon after an accident. Undergoing Radiology and MRI, met the surgeon. Waited 3 months from accident and went under surgery. In this 3 months was not able to lift my left arm, no recovery at all. On the evening of the surgery hard to understand he couldn't do it and has no any further options to help... Built up frustration and didn’t waited even 6 weeks from surgery. After two weeks meeting Andi at an event decided to give a go after she shared her story and experiences gathered. After the first hour of treatment lifted my arm - I couldn’t believe it. Followed by multiple sessions I got back mobility of my arm and using it today without precautions for my work, hobbies even still requires strength to be built in my muscles surrounding my shoulder. Thanks Andi for your deep engagement on helping me and really happy that I met you. Yes recommending your limited time to anyone in real need for support. Consulted with surgeon after 6 weeks from operation we agreed that was not even a surgical case...."

"I can highly recommend Andi for injury rehabilitation and any biomechanics issues. I have experience from playing professional rugby around the world and dealing with health professionals and I can say Andi is world class. My most recent visit to Andi she managed to heal an ankle injury that had been hurting me for weeks. Andi is a welcoming woman and a natural healer who takes time and pays attention to detail."

Joshua Toole Client

"I was hesitant to join with just another "Personal Trainer" however Andi has proven to be so much more than that. Every session I learn something new in regards to eating or exercises that are the most beneficial to my body and circumstances. I wasn't overwhelmed or overloaded with new changes all at once but have been able to move onto the next steps as my body allows. Thanks Andi for teaching me things that I can now use every day in my life."

Bec Wharton Client

"I met Andi during a trip to Gold Coast when I stayed at Blue Heron Motel in Mermaid Beach (her studio is in the same building). I booked a massage with her and she was extremely helpful and kind in finding availability for me without much notice! We also had a chat before starting the massage where she was both very kind and professional, sharing her knowledge to give me precious advices to improve my health and overall well-being. The massage was amazing, so relaxing and just perfect to re-balance my body-mind♡ I highly recommend her since I had a beautiful experience and she is very passionate and competent in what she does :)"

My client had breast implants removed, leading to a frozen shoulder and three months of pain before seeking help. Upon examination, I found her fascia and muscles were tight. After an hour of targeted massage, she could lift her hand overhead, regaining hope to swim again soon.

Jack Client

My client has fibromyalgia, and our goal was to reduce pain and increase mobility. Intense workouts are challenging for her, so we focused on gentle strengthening and stretching exercises. Now, she no longer needs painkillers, has improved mobility, and is definitely stronger.

Rebecca Client

"I've had a few PT sessions in the past but Andi definitely offers a unique experience. I wanted my sessions to be tough and challenging but I also didn't want to injure myself which I'm prone to doing. Andi is really knowledgeable and friendly which makes my sessions that much more enjoyable. She really considers the whole body, it's not just a quick PT session. She is qualified in so many other things which she incorporates throughout the workout. If muscles are tight she will massage or stretch them or do whatever needs to be done first to ensure no injuries will occur during the workout. I'm always looking forward to my sessions, I honestly wish I could go everyday!"
