A quiet force for care—grounded in compassion, guided by purpose.
Our mission
Born from lived experience, built to make care visible and accessible.
Visible Exercise Physiology began on Ngunnawal Country, in Canberra, when our founder created a truly inclusive, accessible workplace that supported her own lived experience and those of others with invisible and chronic health conditions.
From the start, our mission has been to provide compassionate, person-centred care to individuals who often struggle to find specialised allied health support—especially those living with rare, misunderstood, or invisible conditions.
We are committed to improving access to online exercise physiology and allied health services for individuals with conditions that are often overlooked or misunderstood by the broader healthcare system.
Many of our clients live with rare, chronic, or invisible conditions, such as symptomatic hypermobility, Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), dysautonomia (including POTS), myalgic encephalomyelitis (also known as ME/CFS), fibromyalgia and more.
Because of the lack of local expertise, many people travel interstate or go without care. We aim to eliminate this barrier by providing accessible, telehealth-based exercise physiology that delivers expert support anywhere in Australia.

Get to know us
Jemima Minto (she/her) | Director & lead accredited exercise physiologist (ESSAM, AES, AEP)
With eight years’ experience in the fitness industry and graduating as an AEP in 2024, Jemima brings both professional knowledge and personal understanding to her practise. Her passion for the field stems from her own lived experience with hEDS, CCI, POTS, ME/CFS, MCAS, endometriosis, level 2 and 3 autism and ADHD and PTSD, as well as a life-changing experience with an AEP during her younger years.
After graduation, Jemima began her professional journey but struggled to find a workplace that could provide the accommodations she needed to avoid flare-ups and autistic burnout. Out of this challenge, Visible Exercise Physiology was created - a practice designed to be accessible, inclusive and sustainable for both clients and clinician.
Jemima also has extensive experience working with:
People living with all types of arthritis
Individuals across all stages of their cancer journey (from treatment to survivorship)
Those managing cardiometabolic and musculoskeletal conditions, and;
People with neurological conditions.

Bridget Laming (she/her) | Accredited exercise physiologist (ESSAM, AES, AEP)
Bridget is a queer and neurodivergent accredited exercise physiologist based in Boorloo (Perth). She completed her Bachelor of Science (Exercise and Sport Science) in 2023 before going on to complete a Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology by coursework and dissertation/research in 2025. Her research explored the role of exercise for trans(gender) and gender diverse young people, an area Bridget is deeply passionate about and committed to advancing through inclusive, affirming care.
Bridget’s love for using exercise as medicine grew from both her professional training and her own lived experience. She is inspired by the potential of movement to support people not just physically, but emotionally and socially, especially those who have felt excluded, misunderstood, or overlooked within traditional healthcare systems and fitness environments. Due to her lived experience, Bridget is drawn to non-traditional movement modalities (not gym and running) and utilises them in her practice, aiming to make exercise enjoyable.
Living with symptomatic hypermobility and dysautonomia has shaped the way Bridget practices. These experiences allow her to bring genuine empathy, nuanced understanding and careful attention to detail to her work with clients. She understands first hand the importance of pacing, flexibility and being listened to.
Bridget’s areas of interest include:
Working w/the LGBTQIA+ community
Invisible illness
Neurological conditions
Availability: Bridget is currently taking clients on Tuesdays and Thursdays via telehealth.
