I am a Specialised Exercise Physiologist who completed a Bachelor of Applied Science Human Movement and Graduate Diploma of Exercise Rehabilitation in Ballarat, class 2005.
​
I live with CFS, IST, POTS, hEDS, MCAS and chronic pain. I grew up in the country playing any sport I could. My goal was elite netball or swimming and endured the sub-elite space with unexplainable pain, multiple injuries and my first traumatic injury during a netball semi final, rupturing my ACL at 17yo. But looking back the sprains, strains, injury, pain etc, now all makes sense 🥴.
In 2007, I became unwell with Idiopathic Pericarditis at 24yo, which started the cascade of symptoms and conditions presenting. I was dismissed, gaslighted and told I was just experiencing stress and anxiety, prescribed antidepressants and referred to see a Psychologist. I had many horrible years ahead, however I was able to eventually see a silver lining and had an opportunity to 'redesign life' (and this is a quote from a patient of mine which I believe can help those ready for it over the many many years ahead).
With my personal experience, the evolving evidence and my passion for advocacy and learning, I knew I wanted to help people with invisible illnesses.
​
I started Dizzy hEDS & Co. in 2022 when I was not being given the work/life balance required for my own health, and starting a my family as a single parent to my beautiful little boy who follows in my genetic footsteps (unfortunately).
But now being my own boss lady, I get to focus on what I am so passionate about. Make a difference in peoples lives. Allow them to feel heard. Give them hope. Give them strength, knowledge, and support. Give them their power back. Work our way to living life, whatever that may be. See what opportunity we have to 'redesign life'.
​
BUT - I need you all who sign on to work with me, unfortunately I have bad days, I have appointments, I have a limited capacity. I wont paint a picture of recovery because I haven't experienced it but progress is and has always been made. So when working with me, my focus is always practicing what I teach, I do my best to forward plan and pace but life happens hey!?
