After spending almost a decade as a personal trainer (you can learn more about my education here), I have supported clients as they reached numerous health goals: improved blood sugar numbers, improved cardiovascular health and better endurance, reducing joint pain and being able to move with ease, and increasing strength.

During that time, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (FM) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), both of which are incurable, and affect me every day. At the time of my diagnosis, research and resources were minimal. My doctor gave me the diagnosis, wrote a prescription for an anti-depressant, and told me it was something I would "just have to deal with". This pushed me to learn more about pain, biomechanics, and the nervous system, and over time, I developed a system to help keep my chronic pain at bay most of the time. Eventually, other people living with chronic illness (and people healing from significant injury) wanted to work with me, too. Since then, I've coached people with Fibromyalgia, Lupus, MS, Parkinson's, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Polymyalgia Rheumatica, chronic back and neck pain, frozen shoulder and joint injury, and people recovering from joint replacement surgery. I regularly work with physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, RMTs, and even surgeons to ensure my client's program is cohesive and on track with their rehabilitation goals.
