Healing has always been my calling.
From as young as I can remember, there was always something a little different about me…
My views and intuition about the mind and body seemed… Let’s go with, unique… Especially in comparison to many around me…
I just had this knowing that everything was going to be okay. That I was all that I needed to be healthy… And that WE ALL individually have the power to heal ourselves.
But, as I said, it wasn’t among the popular opinion…so, I moved through the years in silence… never speaking up in fear of being “crazy”.
However, through my personal experiences, I’ve seen reassurance of this power within. And through the years, my strong beliefs in my body, health and capabilities have led me to extraordinary things!
Including overcoming chronic pain and what felt like a death sentence.
Starting as early as elementary school, I was an elite athlete. However, as the years of distance running went on, I became plagued with pain and injury. Which was a major hindrance of course, but I was still able to heal quite quickly from setbacks and intrusive pain.
It wasn’t until a little later on that a real issue would arise…
The pain I was having began to linger… Getting worse and worse over a span of 5 years. It got to the point where I couldn’t even run for as little as 3 minutes without excruciating pain and needing to stop.
I needed to seek opinions…
As I did, I was told by multiple professionals – including a sports doctor and physios – that I’d have to give up my athletic career…
And if that wasn’t bad enough. My overall activity would be limited for the rest of my life.
…It was like being slapped with a death sentence…
Being active and competing in sport is what I love and enjoy. It’s what I do.
So, It only took a split second until my inner dialogue said, “Nope, watch me”...
I already knew I had the power to heal myself. And this was the exact news I needed to hear… It gave me the courage to finally acknowledge what I was hiding behind… what was keeping me in fear. What was keeping me in pain.
Shortly thereafter, I got back to competing at a world level… all while never stepping in to see a medical professional or practitioner again.
So, as you can imagine, I had mixed feelings about becoming a physiotherapist…
I knew all medical professionals and practitioners were well-meaning… They want to help others after all. But, obviously they are not getting to the root cause… as pain, disease and illness continue to rise year after year despite advances in technology and endless research.
So, I knew their viewpoints were limited. And my own experiences exposed this. Yet, becoming a physio was the only way I knew how (at that time) to support and empower others… I knew I needed to ignite the power others already had within to heal from pain and injury. Just like I did
This led me to taking a different approach with clients, guiding them to healing much faster than typical timelines… even as little as one session.
So whether you are experiencing an acute or chronic condition, or you are wanting to avoid one, I am looking forward to guiding you on how to truly heal yourself and harness the power you were born with.
See you soon!
