7 years of experience in Personal Training, Applied Neurology, Structural Integration, Physiotherapy, Laser Therapy, Functional Medicine, Pre- & Rehabilitation, from pain clients to performance athletes.
Personal history from a severe near-death trauma experience at the age of 24 and led to diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis), and MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensibility) - ending up in a wheelchair for 5 years.
The bridge between the trauma and today running a pain and performance clinic was dance.
The rehabilitation was to dance, which opened up interest in how movement can change brain function. The passion for dance and movement led to competition as a professional at the national and international level and running a dance academy for ten years for social dance and competition.
10 years experience of dance, dance teaching and running a dance academy.
Today, dedicated to finding the key to understanding pain and function and providing the simple yet so advanced knowledge about the brain in an easy understanding way for everyone that helps them on an everyday basis to optimize movement by targeting the brain.
