JESS BARBER
Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP, AES, ESSAM)
managing director
Special interest areas: Musculoskeletal rehabilitation, strength & conditioning, paediatric exercise interventions
Growing up on the Liverpool Plains I have always enjoyed an active lifestyle and right throughout my school years I knew I would move in to a career in the health industry. While I was originally leaning towards Physiotherapy, I can say I honestly I have no regrets taking the path of Exercise Physiology, with such a broad scope, you can really take it anywhere!
After being in the field for 5 years, I have come to really appreciate the significant difference I can make in a person’s life with just the power of movement. Whether that be helping someone feel more confident and steady on their feet, their ability to play and engage with their grandchildren or simply reduce their pain, movement is a powerful medicine in improving one’s quality of life.
When I am not at work I enjoy being outdoors, at the family farm or on the coast (usually in a surfboat), taking the time to do the things that fill my cup, so I can help others fill theirs throughout the week.
LUCY DAY
Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP, AES, ESSAM)
Special interest areas: musculoskeletal rehabilitation and neurological conditions
I completed my Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology at the University of New England and began my journey with 360 Health Clinic in 2019. Since then, I’ve loved every moment of being part of a dedicated team passionate about improving lives through movement and rehabilitation.
One of the highlights of my time with 360 has been helping to open our Gunnedah Clinic and watching it grow into the thriving space it is today. My clinical interests lie primarily in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, and more recently, since welcoming our baby girl in early 2025, I’ve developed a growing passion for women’s health and supporting others through similar life stages.

You’ll see me in our clinics working in a part-time capacity at the moment, while enjoying the special time of raising our little girl.


Sunita Reader
Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP, AES, ESSAM)
Currently on maternity leave
Special interest areas: Older adults & falls prevention
Growing up I always loved exercise and playing sport, but didn’t know what I wanted to do when I finished school. Looking at the list of degrees on offer I saw Exercise Physiology and thought it might be interesting. I am so glad that I chose to study Exercise Physiology and have found it really interesting and amazing to see what exercise can do for people.
While studying I was struck by how beneficial exercise can be in managing and preventing chronic conditions and I am so excited to be able to use exercise to help people.
I grew up in Armidale and was keen to stay regional and help people in rural areas and I believe as an Exercise Physiologist I will be able to do this. In my free time I love going for walks, playing soccer and volleyball, but you can also sometimes catch me binging something on Netflix.
DREW RONACHER
ACCREDITED EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST (AEP, aES, ESSAM)
Special Interests: Metabolic Health and Aging Populations
I come from the land down under….more specifically Melbourne.
Growing up and spending time between the coast and the snowy mountains, I have been very active in the sporting field. Dedicating 15+ years to competitive gymnastics and representing Australia at numerous international events. Throughout my sporting career I spent a lot of time with various specialists that would treat my various injuries and niggles. What I know now as a clinician, would have saved my parents a lot of money.
It wasn’t until I did an exchange to Germany that I wanted to pursue a career in gerontology. So landing back in Melbourne, I commenced studies and completed my Master’s at Victoria University. I have been practicing for 7+ years from large companies to small private practices. This has lead me to treating clients with various chronic conditions and ailments. I enjoy the challenge of re-invigorating someone’s love for physical activity, and to help manage their own condition/s and improve their education around it. Which helps impact them positively both in the clinic and in their activities of daily living.


SKYE SYLVESTER
Accredited Exercise PHYSIOLOGIST (aep, AES, ESSAM)
Special interest areas: High Performance Athletes, Injury prevention & rehabilitation
I grew up on a cattle station just outside of Nundle. I went away to boarding school in Sydney and saw all the amazing opportunities and resources people from bigger cities had and it has always inspired me to make the same resources available for people in smaller communities.
I chose to study Exercise Science/Physiology as it focuses largely on improving an individual's life not only for the present but also for their future and helping to make a difference in the lives of others has always been a goal of mine.
I have always loved sport and exercise, I played a number of different sports growing up but have always had a real passion for horse riding which still continues to grow. When I am not at 360 I am usually away competing at horse competitions around NSW and QLD.
KIERA SWAN

Special interest areas: Women's Health, Chronic Pain Management and Musculoskeletal Management
I have been an Exercise Physiologist for the past 8 years. I grew up in the Blue Mountains, studied at the University of Sydney and have always enjoyed an active lifestyle, from bushwalks to the football field.
I found my passion for health in Rural and Regional NSW when I moved to Tamworth 8 years ago. I love educating and engaging with people who want to improve their health and wellbeing across their lifespan.
In my spare time you will find me enjoying time with my family, walking my giant breed dog and exploring new camping spots!

I have been a part of the 360 Health Clinic team now since 2021 providing both 1:1 & group classes. Having grown up in Gunnedah & now living in Boggabri I am passionate about helping people in rural areas have access to quality care to achieve active lifestyles for the betterment of their health.
My particular interests include active ageing to help the ageing population stay independent and maintain their physical, social and emotional health. I also LOVE instructing Pilates classes, helping participant’s to reach their full potential and challenge their strength and flexibility.

JORJA MCMAHON
Trainer & tHERAPY ASSISTANT - lEVEL 2
Before entering the fitness industry I was working as an Early Childhood Educator. Through experience and additional training I took more of an interest in children with additional needs. During this time, I realised how important physical activity was for children and mental health.
I studied my Certificate III in Fitness through TAFE here in Tamworth which led to me joining the 360 team. While working on the Front Desk I was able to complete my Certificate IV in Fitness and began Personal Training and teaching Group Fitness classes. I currently teach Over 50s and Reformer Pilates. Through this I got to know a number of Health Clinic clients and the team, and am now working in the Administration role as well as teaching Group Fitness and 1:1 training sessions.
On the weekend or while I’m not at the gym, you’ll find me being a busy mum to 3 energetic children or going to our family farm.


emily deasey
trainer & therapy assistant Level 2
Special interest areas: Musculoskeletal Prehabilitation and Rehabilitation, Athlete Development
I've always loved exercise and sport, especially swimming and netball, competing at state and national levels. After two major knee injuries requiring surgery in 2019 and 2021, I experienced firsthand the importance of effective rehab and the negative impact of sedentary lifestyle. This sparked my passion for exercise physiology and inspired my love for long-term athlete development, especially for rural youth and the encouragement of exercise even to those who feel they cannot exercise.
Since then, I’ve completed Certificates III & IV in Fitness, Reformer Pilates certification, and I’m now in my third year of Clinical Exercise Physiology, as well as working towards my Level 1 Strength and Conditioning accreditation. Outside of study, you’ll find me in the gym, on the netball court, or at the beach.

Hailing from Tasmania, we recently chose to settle in Tamworth (my husbands home town) to raise our three boys as we recognise it as a regional setting full of opportunity and growth. I’m an ESSA Accredited Exercise Scientist with a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science and a Master of High Performance Sport, I bring experience working to deliver national sporting pathways to our talented athletes while also promoting community involvement in health and fitness.
I’ve worked with organisations such as Athletics Australia and Equestrian Australia, focusing on athlete development, performance support and pathway programs. At 360 Health Clinic, my goal is to bring practical, evidence-based testing, injury prevention and rehabilitation services to regional communities, helping athletes and everyday people move well, perform confidently and stay healthy.


ELLIE DUNLEVY
PILATES INSTRUCTOR
I grew up in the far west of NSW in the small, regional town of Cobar. I’ve always had a love of sport, fitness and anything that can get me involved with our small communities. Exercise and physical fitness is so crucial to the health of our communities and I love being a part of that.
After a stint living on the Central Coast, my family and I moved to Gunnedah in late 2021 and I discovered Reformer Pilates and I was hooked. I fell in love with mat Pilates back in 2020 during lockdown while I was at home with a newborn. When 360 Health Clinic in Gunnedah started offering Reformer classes, I signed up to attend instantly and found a new appreciation for Pilates all together. I decided to embark on my Teacher Training to become a certified instructor in 2022 and was accredited in early 2023.
I love the strength and toning Pilates brings me. When I am on the reformer or the mat, my mind is only focused on the workout, and I love that. I love working with the locals and seeing them appreciate the strength and flexibility they are achieving by coming to classes regularly.
Lucy gainsford
Group exercise & pilates instructor - Cert III in fitness
I am a Gunnedah local, having been here for the 12 years. I have always lived on a farm and love the peace and ability to be outdoors doing many things. I went to school at Calrossy Anglican School and during that time was fortunate to to play many sports including tennis, soccer, oz-tag and cross country.

I love the fitness industry and have always wanted to learn and experience what it's like to work in this field. I'm a Pilates instructor and am currently studying my Certificate III & IV in Fitness (Personal Training).
I love helping people and coaching them to do their best by challenging them and pushing them outside their comfort zone. I strive to help people reach their goals and feel happy within themselves with the knowledge of maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle.


Trish Bass
Administration
I grew up in North-West NSW in the small town of Wee Waa. However, I did travel a lot! I have lived in Sydney, Brisbane, Townsville and even London. Prior to joining the team at 360 Health Clinic I had been a hairdresser for the last 20 years.

I was excited to join the 360 Health Clinic after seeing the positive impact that the Veterans Pilates class and exercise physiology sessions had on my husband. It is incredible to witness how the clinic helps a variety of people to improve their quality of life on day to day basis.
