Nobody can get out of bed for you.
This feels like an important post to share because it explains a little more about who I am and why I work the way I do.
As it is clear to see, I have alopecia. I’ve had it since I was 12 years old. For 24 years I wore wigs before I found the courage to step out into the world as I am today.
The journey was long and challenging. But I knew I did not want to be defined by how I looked. I didn’t want fear to stop me becoming the person I knew I could be, or doing the things I wanted to do.
There were years of therapy. Years of starting again. Picking myself back up over and over. I faked confidence. I cried. I hid. I had fun with it. I came into my own. I hated myself at times. I spent days in bed. I self-harmed. I questioned “why me?”
I tried everything - therapy, healers, diets, medication, self-medication, retreats, wives’ tales, all with the unwavering support of family and friends.
Some things helped. Some didn’t.
But every time I chose to keep going, I built something:
strength, confidence and resilience.
These are now the pillars of my work.
Not because I think it’s easy.
Quite the opposite.
I know how hard it can be to trust yourself, your body and the process when you are struggling physically or emotionally.
But I also know this:
Nobody can get out of bed for you.
In 2025, I was asked to speak on the main stage at the about becoming “Hair Free and Carefree.”
Initially, I was slightly mortified.
“You don’t want me to talk about physio or biomechanics?!” 🤪
But while preparing the talk, I realised something important.
The same five lessons that carried me through my own challenges are now the foundation of how I work with my clients.
My role is not to “fix” you.
It is to empower you alongside your rehabilitation, helping you build trust in yourself, your body and your ability to move forward.
Because often, the greatest transformation is not physical.
It is learning that you are stronger than you think you are 🫶
