Cara Leone

Boulder, Colorado, USA

I am a physical therapist, movement coach, and functional physiology specialist who loves working with people to find their strength and human potential! I’ve been a competitive gymnast and now participate in: mountain biking, trial running, obstacle racing, strength training, dancing, skiing, climbing, and acrobatics. I’ve overcome disordered eating, clinical depression, and anxiety. Getting to know how movement, sleep, breathing, nutrients and social connection impact my physiology has been the most powerful tool, one I wish I had sooner, and tools I’d love to teach you and your family!

Phill Ireland

United Kingdom

Driven by a relentless passion for growth, I found resilience through Thai Boxing and Stick-fighting after a traumatic attack at 18. As a champion in both sports, I realized the power of dedication and guidance. In 2006, I founded 'Ireland Fitness', guiding clients to diverse fitness goals. Transitioning to Wimbledon in 2015, I worked with elite athletes. Despite family tragedy from cancer in 2016, I prioritized holistic health, integrating practices like breathwork and thermo-therapy. Joining Physiology First is a natural step to share my journey towards optimal well-being.

Heather Lyons

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I value experiential learning with non-judgmental mentorship. I grew up dancing, weight training, playing soccer, skiing, yoga, and canoeing - fueling a love of movement. I’ve worked with ages 7 to 100+ in my decade as an Occupational Therapist. As a Coach, I believe that physiology-based knowledge makes an invaluable difference in our daily lives. I’m familiar with the high performance and burnout that’s part of common culture. There is a way to brighter, healthier futures with education to support brain and body. I’d be honored to support you in becoming a leader from the inside – out.

I keep active to keep my brain and body healthy and would love to help you do the same!
