Nicolas Bestari
My mission is for you to live with the least amount of pain and to enjoy a healthy life! As an integrated health coach we cover the multi-faceted spectrum of how to be healthy.
My background is in Kinesiology, the study of human body movement. This multi-dimensional discipline covers the body as a whole, through exercise, nutrition, breathing and sleep.

My aim is to help you move with confidence and awareness, better understand your body and its needs, and create a program that challenges and supports you as you work towards your goals.
Whether that means becoming fitter, stronger, more mobile, or moving with less pain.
Our philosophy
We believe in a hands on approach to lifestyle changes and pain relief. My philosophy is to address your specific needs through the assessment of movement patterns, mobility, sleep, nutrition and breathing. Building a plan suited to you that builds your capacity, increases your functional movements and soothes pain.
