Why I do what I do💙
I thought it was about time I shared a little more about the journey that led me here and how BSTT came to be.
I’ve been dancing since I was three and movement has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I later got into gymnastics and spent years training and competing, before eventually finding breaking.
Since then, I’ve competed and performed professionally, taught, travelled and had some incredible experiences through dance. It’s still a huge part of my life today.
But injuries have been part of that journey too.
When I was 15, I badly broke my ankle and needed two surgeries, pins and months of rehab. I remember being much more worried about what I was going to miss than the actual injury - training, competitions, my fitness and whether I’d get back to doing what I loved.
And that wasn’t the last injury I’d have to navigate. Over the years, I’ve had plenty more, and with each one I’ve learnt more about my own body, how I respond to training and how to train a little smarter.
Those experiences also made me want to understand the body better; how it works, how we can look after it and how we can help it perform at its best, both physically and mentally.
That curiosity led me to study Sport & Exercise Science and later train in Soft Tissue Therapy.
But I think the biggest thing I’ve taken from my own journey isn’t just how to manage an injury physically. It’s understanding what it can feel like when something you love is suddenly taken away from you.
The frustration. The uncertainty. The loss of confidence. The worry about whether you’ll get back to where you were.
Those experiences have had a huge influence on how I work today.
When I work with a client, I want to understand what they’re trying to get back to - not just what’s hurting. Because sometimes recovery isn’t really about getting rid of pain; it’s about getting back to the parts of life that make you feel like yourself.
That’s a big part of why I do what I do.
