Rita Cattivera - Teacher & Founder

Hi, I'm Rita Cattivera and I've been involved in the health and fitness industries for over 20 years. I have a passion for learning, testing and providing the most beneficial and proven health and wellbeing solutions for my clients.

Having recently built my "dream studio" I am excited to to share this beautiful, holistic and welcoming space with many people searching for balance strength and harmony. 

I'm in the unique situation of having in-depth experience and knowledge of both physical and emotional health and wellbeing. My study of Raja Yoga Meditation and various other forms has given me the mind tools and discipline of Meditation while my study of the Chiball MethodTM, Qigong and dance has brought a more physical influence.

I've been able to develop a fusion of "Eastern" and "Western" modalities to create a powerful system to provide the vital balance needed in the holistic improvement and strengthening of both Mind and Body.

I gave away my "day job" as State Sales Manager for a large Art/Framing company after completing my Diploma of Business. I chose to pursue my dreams of running my own business focused on sharing my passion for improving people's lives and reducing their pain in a tangible, balanced way.

I have particular expertise in working with people's energy levels, whether in a group or a private session. I find this work highly fulfilling, encouraging and developing my client's awareness of their personal energy and their ability to direct it to improve their quality of life.

My passion and commitment to reducing your physical and emotional pain and creating the complete "wellness" lifestyle for you is what inspires me every day. My personal devotion to your balanced, holistic development will give you the satisfaction, peace of mind and wellbeing essential for a balanced, joyful and meaningful life.
