Since childhood, injuries seemed to follow me – a sprained ankle at seven, a lorry wheel incident at ten, a skiing accident in my teens that left my knee swollen to three times its size.

Each trauma left its mark, creating subtle compensations that later led to chronic pain.

Four years into my fitness career as a Personal trainer and Pilates teacher, with more accidents that hurt my hip, pelvis, shoulder, fractured elbow and being hit by a car when cycling, drove the need to heal my own body.  

I tried everything – physiotherapy, osteopaths, spinal manipulations, clinical Pilates – but my body wasn’t responding the way it ‘should’ according to the health care professionals.

But the real turning point came at 38 when I was diagnosed with Hypermobility Syndrome.

Pain seemed to move unpredictably through my body. ‘Tired’ became my default state. I thought the diagnosis would bring clarity, but instead, I was told to simply ‘manage it,’ ‘pace myself,’ and ‘avoid overexertion.’

For a moment, I spiralled into self-pity – but not for long. I refused to accept that this was my destiny. Instead, I went all in.

When I discovered the neuroscience approach to body alignment and movement patterns, it all suddenly made sense. 

This was the missing link that transformed not just my personal recovery, but my entire approach to helping others.

We are an interconnected system that receives commands from the brain and our body alignment and movement patterns feeds the information back.

I see the bigger picture. Do you?
