Elke Parker is our Lead Exercise Physiologist at the SmartaSport and has been working for SmartaSport since 2019. She currently manages and consults out of our Maroochydore clinic. Elke has extensive experience working with a variety of populations and offers a wide range of services. Elke works with athletes, clients and people with disabilities to improve their quality of life and performance. Her primary goal is to assist clients in gaining independence through exercise; assisting with daily activities and strengthening areas of the body that general exercise programs may overlook.

She has a passion for working with clients with ASD and ADHD. Elke was diagnosed with ADHD in early 2022. Since then she has gained knowledge and experience working with clients with mental health conditions. Her goal is to create a safe space for both parents and children to navigate life with ADHD and/or ASD. She strives to educate the community on behavioural management strategies for children and even adults with ADHD and or ASD. As well as teach the importance of the use of exercise within this area. Elke is a firm believer in empowering her clients to take charge of their own health and movement through education and movement development.
