Meet the Familia Team

Jordan is the founder of Familia Fitness and the driving force behind the Familia Method. With more than 18 years of experience, she combines exercise science, strength and conditioning and movement coaching to help people find the right place to begin.

Jordan holds a Bachelor of Exercise & Sports Science and a Master of Strength & Conditioning. She specialises in helping beginners, people returning after injury or time away, seniors and clients who want to move better, build strength and feel confident in their bodies again.

Jordan leads initial consultations and guides the coaching team to ensure every member receives personalised support. Her approach is built around explaining the why and creating progress that fits real life.

Tessa helps people feel more comfortable and confident with movement. Her calm, supportive style is particularly valuable for beginners, seniors and anyone nervous about returning to exercise.

Tessa works across personal training, seniors sessions, yoga and gentle movement. She has a strong interest in mobility, stretching, breathing and flexibility.

Rather than making exercise feel complicated, Tessa focuses on practical movements people can perform confidently. She meets each client at their current ability and helps them build a positive relationship with movement.

Jodie combines practical fitness coaching with a simple, supportive approach to nutrition. She helps everyday people understand what their bodies need so they can feel more confident and in control.

As Head Trainer, Jodie supports clients through coaching, check-ins, body-composition information and ongoing client care. She also delivers Nutrition Spotlight Sessions, helping clients identify realistic nutrition actions that match their Familia Method level.

Jodie believes nutrition should reduce confusion, not create more of it. Her approach focuses on progress rather than perfection and connects food with movement, recovery and lifestyle. She also operates Wholesome Fitness & Fuel for clients seeking more comprehensive nutrition support.

Maryanne helps make the Familia Seniors Program a welcoming and supportive place to move. She works across Advanced, Active and Chair-Based Seniors sessions, supporting people with different abilities and exercise experience.

Her coaching focuses on helping seniors build strength, balance, mobility and everyday capability at a pace that feels appropriate. Maryanne is experienced in adjusting exercises around individual comfort and uses practical options such as chairs and resistance bands.

Maryanne also helps create the strong sense of connection that makes the Seniors Program special. Her warm approach encourages members to stay active, feel included and enjoy being part of the Familia community.
