Candy Dixon

Exercise Physiologist & Massage Therapist

Originally from Perth, Western Australia, Candy studied Exercise Physiology in the historic town of Fremantle at the University of Notre Dame. She’s always been a beach goer, spending many of her weekends at Cottesloe working on her tan! As well as being an Accredited Exercise Physiologist, she is also a qualified Remedial Massage Therapist after completing her training in Port Macquarie. She’s spent many years honing her skills on the players of numerous AFL clubs throughout Australia.  As many people do, she initially came to Woolgoolga on holidays, then having realised it was so beautiful, decided it’d be amazing to move here to create a new home and family!  She’s now lived in Woolgoolga for 7yrs, has two children and the token dog and cat.
