About me

Hi, I’m Candy. I am so glad you are here.

My whole world turned upside down in July 2022 when I caught Covid. A few weeks later, I lost almost all of my function, developing debilitating brain and body symptoms that turned into Long Covid and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and so started a 2.5 year journey to recover my health and regain my life.

Whilst recovering from this illness has been the hardest thing I have ever been through, it has also been incredibly transformative and has changed my life and myself as a person for the better.

I am now inspired and passionate to help others recover their health too. Whether you are receiving physiotherapy or coaching services, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you will feel seen, heard, and supported on your journey to more health, freedom and flow.

I will walk with you, guiding you with my own personal recovery experience to draw from, and coaching and mind body therapy training, but also a decade of experience working with hundreds of clients with a wide variety of health concerns and functional goals as a private practice physiotherapist and clinical Pilates teacher.
