Ep 68. Bridging the Gap Between the Fitness Industry and Allied Health with Dr. Danni Antonellos

Description

In this week’s episode of The MumSafe™ Pro Podcast, Jen is joined by Dr. Danni Antonellos, Osteopath, educator and coach driven by a mission to make world-class health and performance education accessible to everyone.

Danni is the Co-Founder of United Health Education, where she has presented seminars globally alongside the late Dr. Andrew Lock and Julie Lock, helping professionals bridge the gap between pain, performance and intelligent movement. She is also the Co-Founder of My Training Space, Co-Director of Paddo Performance and Co-Host of the Level Up with Sharelle and Danni Podcast.

With over a decade of experience in both allied health and fitness, Danni’s expertise lies in exercise prescription for strength, hypertrophy, performance and injury rehabilitation. Her approach blends science with real-world application, empowering coaches and clients to move better and perform at their best. Guided by her philosophy that movement is medicine, Danni is challenging outdated models of coaching and rehab to help people take lasting control of their health and performance.

In this conversation, we explore:

  • The value of mentorship and why trainers should never stop learning
  • What it looks like to bridge the gap between allied health and the fitness industry
  • How to grow an online business without losing genuine connection
  • Building trust and collaboration between trainers and health professionals
  • Common movement myths and why strength, not stretching, matters
  • How to help clients shift from dependency-based care to empowerment
  • Danni’s advice for women in leadership and overcoming the “I’m not ready yet” mindset 

Key Takeaway

Movement is medicine — not just for the body, but for the mind.
When we empower clients to understand and own their movement, we help them move through pain, build strength, and live better lives.
