Darren has spent the last seven years specialising in movement and strength for people with cancer and long term illness.

Darren’s early years in the sport science field were devoted to human performance and muscle physiology. Understanding the science of sports helped him race in 5 Ironman Triathlons. Like any journey in life, it takes twists and turns. Over the last seven years, he has specialized in sarcopenia, chronic disease, and oncology exercise.

Because of his yearning to learn more and to learn something different, Darren wanted to work with people diagnosed with CFCs (Cancer). He wanted to be challenged and grow in new ways.

The team at Oasis sets a new standard with its multi-modality and team approach. There is always something new to learn and having the support to implement new ideas. Every person on the team has a voice that is valued and respected. Each member of the team contributes to a new systemic milieu to reclaim health for their patients. There is the bigger picture at work and each team member plays an important role in that work.

What excites Darren is that Oncology Exercise is still in its infancy. Over the past two decades, clinical attention has focused on the efficacy of exercise therapy as an adjunct strategy following a CFC's (Cancer) diagnosis. Movement is medicine; excessive and prolonged inactivity has been established to have a definitive role in the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases.

Darren also leads the weekly Body and Mind Healing sessions for members, together with Vanessa Pinto.
