Bee Pennington
Health coach
Cert Clinical Nutrition, Cert 1 & 2 Holistic Lifestyle Coach, Cert 3 & 4 Personal Training, HCANZA
2023 Health & Wellness Coach of the Year in a Healthcare Setting award winner, HCANZA
Bee began her health coaching career in 2014, joining Melbourne Functional Medicine in 2016. With a natural intersection of passion bringing together nurturing and health, Bee was perhaps destined to become a health coach.
Being fascinated by the impact of our thoughts and words on our wellbeing, Bee has a professional interest in mindset and behaviour change, emotional health and the connection between the physical and emotional body, and the art of maintaining healthy boundaries. In fact, Bee has had so many conversations with patients about healthy boundaries, that she authored a book on the topic.
Bee also enjoys helping patients set their practical and emotional world up so they have the best chance of success, and loves collaborating with our practitioner team to offer a depth of insight and change that isn’t normally accessible for people in other healthcare models.
On a personal note, Bee is mum to one human and one dog. She loves nature – a walk often taking a lot longer due to frequent pauses to capture nature’s beauty. A reformed fitness fanatic, movement is still her favourite pillar of health, albeit reshaped to better suit her personal health vision.
Working with Bee often goes deep, is peppered with humour, and our patients tell us they feel like they have someone really looking out for them.

“When you understand what it feels like to thrive and you understand your body’s feedback (both subtle and obvious) you are in a truly empowered position to make optimal decisions. Living a healthy life is not about deprivation but it is about being honest with yourself about what works and what doesn’t. I love to focus on the way healthy living makes you feel and the very practical ‘how to’ factors.”
