Millie Nixon – Accredited Exercise Physiologist & Cancer Exercise Specialist

About

Millie Nixon is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and Cancer Exercise Specialist with a dedicated focus on oncology and women’s health. With years of hands-on experience, she has built a reputation for offering compassionate, evidence-based support to women at all stages of life. For over five years, Millie owned and operated her own clinic in Gawler, where she developed deep community ties and worked closely with individuals navigating complex health journeys.

During this period, Millie completed her postgraduate study in Exercise Oncology at Edith Cowan University (ECU), further cementing her role as a leading professional in the field. She also became a qualified Cancer Exercise Specialist through Ex-MED Cancer, equipping her with advanced skills in delivering safe and effective exercise programs for individuals undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment.

Millie’s passion for women’s health stems not only from her clinical background but also from her personal journey. Following a diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and a challenging experience with infertility, she gained a unique and empathetic understanding of the physical and emotional toll these conditions can bring. Eventually becoming a mother herself, Millie has since committed her career to supporting women—no matter their current exercise level—on the path to movement, strength, and confidence.
