MAKING A DIFFERENCE TO THE SUNSHINE COAST
Mindfulness in Movement is a small business with a big heart. Our passion is health in both body and mind, and we genuinely care about our clients.
Our dedicated team of mobile Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEP) have extensive experience supporting clients with disabilities, injuries and health conditions to improve their lives through movement.
We’re all about fostering meaningful relationships whether that’s with your AEP, your community, or yourself. As a flexible, community-based service, we provide treatment in the comfort of your home or local community facilities across the Sunshine Coast, which is especially valuable for anyone facing barriers to leaving the house. For those who prefer a dedicated space, we also have a small, welcoming studio in Coolum Beach.
At the same time, we are well-connected across the coast, and can help you to engage with your local community facilities and programs. This applies to you whether you have a physical condition or mental illness; we are great at reducing the barriers that might stop you exercising.
If you’d like to find out if Mindfulness in Movement can work with you, connect with Susanne.

SUSANNE GOLDIN
FOUNDER | ACCREDITED EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST | YOGA + MINDFULNESS TEACHER
As an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and yoga teacher, I recognise the importance of a unified mind–body–breath connection in supporting health, recovery, and overall wellbeing.
With a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology and Rehabilitation, and over twenty years of experience in preventive health and rehabilitation, I have developed a deep appreciation for the complexity of the human body and the way its systems interact to influence function and wellbeing.
My study, teaching, and personal practice of yoga and mindfulness have further strengthened my understanding of the powerful role that mind–body integration plays in supporting sustainable health outcomes.
I am experienced in working with individuals living with disability and a wide range of injuries, illnesses, and health conditions. I have a particular interest in mental health, chronic pain, and complex physical disabilities, and I also incorporate a psychosocial recovery–informed approach to support individuals in building capacity, resilience, and meaningful engagement in daily life.
Above all, my focus is you. To learn more, I invite you to read the story behind Mindfulness In Movement.

LACH
ACCREDITED EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST
Hi, I’m Lach, clinical exercise physiologist with Mindfulness in Movement. Over the years I’ve spent time delivering cardiac, neuromuscular and pulmonary rehabilitation while working in the fields of public health, disability services and Aboriginal and Torres Strait lslander community health.
I have a passion in supporting individuals with autism and neurodevelopment challenges to flourish, with a keen interest in children and young people within these communities.
I believe in person centred care and the need to look at the unique differences that define each of us as individuals, to optimise overall health. I’m an advocate for patient education and believe exercise is medicine, with significant health benefits, minus the side effects.
When not at work you may find me on the touch field, surfing or bouldering.
SARAH
ACCREDITED EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST | DISABILITY SUPPORT WORKER
Hi, I’m Sarah, and I’m passionate about helping people feel their best through movement and exercise. As an accredited Clinical Exercise Physiologist, I take a holistic approach to health, focusing not just on physical movement but also on mental well-being.
I believe that movement is a powerful tool for building confidence and independence, improving mobility, and enhancing quality of life.
I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from all walks of life to help them achieve their personal goals. My aim is always to create a welcoming and supportive environment. I love helping people discover what they’re capable of, and I’m here to encourage them every step of the way.
In my spare time, you’ll find me soaking up the sun at the beach with my Kelpie, going on walks with friends (with a coffee in hand, of course), or enjoying some aerial yoga/Pilates. I also love discovering new hidden gems around the Sunshine Coast to unwind and recharge.
