I build sustainable humans.

I enable individuals and organisations to implement long-term physical and mental health.

What is a sustainable Human?

A sustainable human has long-term physical and mental health. They have a detailed understanding of their unique biological needs in every area of health and the ability to adapt and remain healthy no matter what life brings.

What do we do?

You can think of us a health architects. We help people to design, build, and integrate physical and mental health for both their personal and professional success.

How do we do it?

  1. We assess your biological makeup to create a unique personal profile. This enables us to understand how you are built and to define your unique underlying health requirements.

  2. Map your current habits, activities and lifestyle. We chart your habits and preferences to establish your current health patterns and behaviours, both good and not so good.

  3. Establishing your health goals. Creating an outcome focus ensures we work towards building your physical and mental health in a way that will deliver results.

Whether you are looking to perform better at work or to build strength for everyday life - we can help you build the sustainable health and capability to get there.

Applied Movement is based in the Southern Alps of New Zealand but works with clients locally, regionally and internationally.

What is Biology-Based Sustainable Health?

Biology-based health is an approach that recognises the fundamental impact of your unique biology on your health outcomes. It involves understanding and leveraging the in-built characteristics that are unique to you and using them to optimise your health.

This approach acknowledges that each person is biochemically and genetically distinct and therefore requires a uniquie approach to health. By understanding your biology, we provide targeted and precise recommendations, encompassing nutrition, exercise, stress management, sleep, personal interactions and more.

When you have a deeper understanding of how your biology influences your health you can optimise your choices and make decisions that support your biology - not fight it.

Ultimately, biology-based health empowers you to take an active role in your own health. It allows for a holistic and personalised approach that recognises our complexity and individuality, paving the way for customised strategies and transformative outcomes.

Enabling Human Sustainability in Business

Business solutions that optimise mental and physical health in the workplace.

Claire Akin-Smith

Health and performance is about balancing many different disciplines; exercise, nutrition, sleep, breathing, strength and mental fitness to name just a few. My work with clients ensures they are addressing the most appropriate aspects of their health at any given time. I also work with specialist partners when specific external skills are required, and the ongoing relationship I have with my clients allows us to work in balance to reach their goals without ever becoming overwhelmed.
