About Wendy Edwards
Wendy has always had an interest in movement. From a young age, she was involved with gymnastics and dance which later led to her becoming a trapeze artist. She trained professionally and performed for many years, learning how to get the most out of her training. She loves the positive impact that movement has had on her life, and wanted to bring that same feeling to others. Wendy studied initially at the University of the Western Cape for an undergraduate degree in Sport Science and followed with an Honours in Biokinetics at the University of Cape Town. Wendy joined the practice in January 2018. Wendy’s hope is that people learn how to enjoy exercise, improve their sporting performance, minimise pain and notice the results they achieve through hard work and determination.
