Meet Marianne
I'm a qualified physiotherapist based in Te Anau, Southland — but my real passion has always been women's health.
That passion took on a new shape after having my two kids. After breastfeeding, my body had changed and so had my bras. I knew they didn't fit but had no idea where to start. That experience, and the gap I saw in women's healthcare, is what led me to PostureFitting.
When I completed my training in 2024, everything clicked. Women leaving consultations feeling empowered, excited, and finally informed — that's what this is all about.
