We’re excited to welcome Geish Nori to the The Wellness Place team!

Geish came to Australia from Japan in 2004 to study sports science. He completed his PhD in Exercise, Biomedical, and Health Sciences from Edith Cowan University in 2007. His research interests are the assessment and development of performance during strength and conditioning (S&C) exercises. Before joining The Wellness Place, Geish was an S&C coach at Western Australian Institute of Sport from 2005 to 2021, where he planned and implemented S&C programs for international, national, and developmental athletes in various Olympic, Paralympic, and Commonwealth Games sports.

While he coached athletes on the gym floor, Geish realised that many technical limitations in S&C exercises and sports tasks could be significantly improved through soft-tissue treatment. That was the reason why he expanded his career from S&C coach to massage therapist. Still, the basis of his S&C coaching and massage therapy has been his deep understanding of functional anatomy and biomechanics, developed through his doctoral studies.

He is passionate about supporting athletes in a multifaceted way across sports science and sports medicine. Thus, outside the clinic, he serves in dual roles as an S&C coach and sports trainer at Swan Districts Football Club, just across the road.

Welcome to the team, Geish!

Hi, my name is Ellee McEvoy, born and raised in beautiful Ireland. I made the big move across the world, to WA in October 2024. I am a Nutritionist at The Wellness Place and Peak Performance Institute. Exercise, health and wellbeing have always been a huge part of my life and as a result led me to pursuing a career that nurtures both.

I graduated from the University of Limerick attaining a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education and Irish. Having been involved in team sport all my life to a high level, I continued my studies and completed a Masters in Sports and Exercise Nutrition to gain a deeper understanding on the role nutrition plays in our lives from a general population perspective right through to the elite athlete.

My journey as a Nutritionist to date has allowed me to work across a range of settings and I find my work incredibly fulfilling as I see first hand the changes that evidence based nutrition awareness and informed decisions can have on people’s lives, so that we feel better and live a healthier life.

Having founded my own business in Ireland in 2022, I primarily worked as a Performance Nutritionist with intercounty athletes (state level) playing Gaelic football and hurling. I also ran workshops and seminars to a variety of sports teams, in schools, at teenage

summer camps, and within the corporate world. My main areas of interest include;

• Sports Nutrition
• Weight Loss
• Injury Prevention and Recovery and Immunity
• Fundamentals of Nutrition for General Health and Wellbeing
• The Female Athlete

There is so much noise in the world of personal training and nutrition nowadays with an overemphasis on calorie intake and high protein diets. I believe that there is so much more to food than caloric value.

My aim as a practitioner is to help my clients understand that food is the fuel to make us feel good and should be enjoyed. My goal is to ensure that my clients develop the skills and knowledge that allows them to achieve their goals in a healthy and supportive way.

My own personal experience playing Gaelic football at an elite level in Ireland and having recently begun playing WAFL, has cultivated my treatment approach and given me the first hand experience of what it takes to reach peak performance.

The variety of clients I work with from young athletes to the ageing adult enable me to provide a unique, individualised service that aims to develop the person holistically.

Outside of work, I enjoy keeping active by playing Gaelic football, going to the gym, a morning run, a sunset walk by the beach and trialling out new recipes in the kitchen.
