Andree Houlden
CO-FOUNDER
Andree is a Co-founder of Livin’ Active and a proud mum to three beautiful boys. She is a certified Personal Trainer, Weight Management Practitioner, and Health Coach with a strong passion for empowering others through health, movement, and connection.
Having volunteered in various community settings, Andree understands the importance of creating supportive environments where individuals - especially children - can learn, grow and thrive. She believes deeply in the power of community, social interaction, and movement to nurture both physical and mental wellbeing.
Her journey as a solo parent has given her a personal understanding of the challenges many disadvantaged families face. This experience has inspired her vision for Livin’ Active - not only as a space to promote health and wellbeing, but also as a platform to give back and strengthen community connection.
Guided by her experiences, Andree hopes to see Livin’ Active continue to evolve into a leading community-focused organisation that empowers individuals and families through accessible, community-driven wellness programs.
With a love of the outdoors, Andree enjoys hiking, travelling, camping, and participating in local community events. Her genuine care for others and her commitment to inclusivity continue to shape the heart and purpose of Livin’ Active.
