I I know what it feels like to think pain has stolen the life you love. But I also know recovery is possible—because I’ve lived that too…

For almost 18 years, I lived in a body that felt unpredictable, overwhelming, and fragile.

Chronic leg and neck pain followed me everywhere. Nights were filled with insomnia and restless legs. Anxiety and intrusive thoughts hijacked my mind. Even simple adventures—hiking in the sun, cycling down a trail, or swimming in open water—felt impossible. Bright light was unbearable, my vision blurred, and the world itself felt too loud, too much.

So I sought out specialists…

Doctors gave me labels: fibromyalgia, chronic pain syndrome, and other “lifelong conditions.” The message was always the same: there’s no cure—just manage the symptoms.

That symptom management led me to yoga, chiropractors, physios, mobility routines, steroid injections, TENS machines, supplements and other expensive solutions. Most of which didn’t work at all. Some of which only provided temporary relief.

For someone who feels most alive when they’re active, it felt like the life was being choked out of me.

I didn’t give up though…
