Here’s to moving into the New Year with more ease, patience, and trust in the process — and a steady return to the sports you love.

The mountains don’t care about our plans — they teach us to read the conditions, pace ourselves, and turn back when it’s not the day. That’s the same wisdom our bodies need in rehab.

When we force through pain, the body pushes back. When we listen, rest when needed, and rebuild step by step, things shift.

With gratitude,
Sanne

🚵‍♀️ Fernie friends! Exciting news — Singletrack 3 is coming back to town this summer! 🌲🏔️
I’ve had the honour of being the Athletic Therapist for this race for the past decade, and I’m hoping to be back on the support team again this year 🤞💪

It’s always such an amazing event — incredible riders, electric energy, and the best singletrack around. Who’s planning to ride, volunteer, or come cheer? Let’s make it another unforgettable Fernie summer! ☀️🚴‍♂️

Still vibing high after working the last-ever Singletrack 6 mountain bike race in the beautiful West Kootenays last week. 🚵‍♀️💥

I had the honour of being part of the medical team, helping incredible riders from all over the world stay strong through 6 unforgettable days of riding. It was a week full of grit, determination, and awe-inspiring trails. 🌲💪

My heart feels a little heavy knowing this was the final 6-day event, but I’m hopeful to join the 3-day version in the future!

If you’ve been pushing hard on the trails (or just in life), and need support for recovery or injury, I’ve got you.

Being a homeschooling mom and a forest school teacher has taught me lessons no textbook ever could. 🌿📚

Here are some of the truths I keep learning—out in the woods, at our dinner table, and in the beautiful mess of everyday life:

1. Let go of expectations – The plan is rarely the path. Flexibility is freedom.

2. Life is messy – Mud, emotions, learning curves—embrace the chaos. That’s where the good stuff grows.

3. Be present – The now is where connection happens. Nature doesn't rush, and neither should we.

4. Be playful – Your inner child is wise. Laugh loud, get silly, explore with joy.

5. Stop worrying – Most of what we stress about never happens. Trust instead.

6. Do stuff that’s scary – Growth lives just beyond your comfort zone. Say yes to the edge.

7. Be curious – Follow questions. Notice the tiny things. Wonder is the gateway to learning.

8. Nature provides everything we need – Healing, rhythm, joy, clarity—it’s all out there.

9. Be grateful & fill yourself up – Gratitude changes how you see. Rest isn't a reward—it's essential.

10. Trust the process – Learning is messy, slow, surprising. It’s working, even when it doesn’t look like it.

Here’s to wild hearts, muddy boots, and learning to grow right alongside our kids. 💚

What’s one way your inner child wants to play today?

🌿🎙 I had the honour of being interviewed by my long-time friend and colleague, Ula Naszynska-Spitzer, on a topic that’s incredibly close to my heart — how to combine nature therapy with athletic therapy to bring more balance, healing, and joy into our lives. 💚

We explored the power of Vitamin N (Nature) and how reconnecting with the outdoors supports both physical recovery and mental wellness — whether you're on a forest trail or a treatment table.

As the owner of Play It Forward Sports Therapy and Wild at Heart Forest School, I believe in helping people of all ages thrive through movement, mindfulness, and the magic of nature.

🌟 Enjoy the full 10-minute interview! I hope it inspires you to get outside and move your body in a way that feels good.

Today I had the pleasure of talking to Sanne De Groot a fellow Athletic Therapist, a mom and owner of Wild at Heart Forest School. If you are looking for fun things to do this spring and summer have a listen to us. Remember to check out Sanne's website at www.faebook.com/WildAtHeartForestSchoolBC/
