About Matt
Matt founded Fortify to prove that health support can be genuinely individual. As an ESSA-Accredited Exercise Scientist, he blends objective assessment — including AxIT force-plate and dynamometer strength testing — with a person-centred, coaching-led approach that helps people decide on and sustain change, not just follow a program. Drawing on his own experience as a neurodivergent leader, Matt is a passionate advocate for neurodiverse-affirming and LGBTQIA+ inclusive care, and for evidence-based care that treats every person as an individual.

Matt's Approach
Person-centred and coaching-led — first understand you, assess where you're really at, then build a plan around your goals, readiness and confidence, progressing one step at a time.
