From a young age I trained hard for a potential surfing career. I was in the water for hours most days and also took up yoga by age 9. I pushed my body to its limits, not realising I had hyper-mobility. All the deep stretching and overtraining was silently causing damage.
A decade later I was in chronic pain and told surgery was my only option to heal a torn hip socket. I stopped moving, became stagnant and unhappy, and relied on multiple practitioners each week for relief. It helped temporarily, but what I truly needed was empowerment, not dependency.
While working for eight months in remote parts of Australia, I didn’t have access to any practitioners. It was a scary feeling not having my support team, but it pushed me to learn how to get myself out of pain.
That’s when I discovered self myofascial release and I began training in a way that stabilised rather than overstretched.
I sought out teachers who would empower me with knowledge and immersed myself in hours of online programs with Ian O’Dwyer (.soma Fascia Specialist), Dr Perry Nicholson ( ) and posture correction program. I dove deep into all things fascia, lymphatics and vagus nerve release.
This became the most empowering thing I have ever done for my body. I can honestly say I have not been to a practitioner to deal with physical pain in more than three years because I still use these methods daily. And it’s this mentality that I love to empower my own clients with.
Yes, I still feel niggles in my body from time to time, but now I see them as signals for change and tune in to what my body is asking/needing. I know how to release and stabilise my body instantly. It’s a beautiful and deeply empowering feeling.
And the best part is that I never got that hip surgery. I’ve been living pain free for years.
I’d love to start sharing more of the wisdom and practices I’ve gathered over the years, to help you feel empowered in your own healing. 🫶🏽
