I support people to live well after a concussion using a health & wellbeing coaching approach.

Navigating post concussion symptoms can feel isolating and overwhelming.

You can make progress in your recovery and you don’t have to do it alone.

Health coaching is educational and supportive in nature and is not a substitute for medical diagnosis, treatment or emergency care.

Common Concussion Misconceptions

  • "IT'S TOO LATE"

    Some people think that recovery is only possible in the first few years.

    This isn’t the case. With a whole-person approach that supports rebuilding neural connections, significant progress can still be made, even years later. The brain has an extraordinary ability to restore function and it’s never too late to support that process.

  • "I JUST NEED TO REST MORE"

    It’s a common misconception that concussion symptoms will heal with rest alone.

    True recovery requires a personalised, whole-health approach that addresses the brain, body and nervous system together. A passive “wait and see” approach can hinder progress and can impact ongoing brain health.

  • "THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO"

    The opposite is true, and you’re the best person to identify what is most effective for you.

    With the right information, practical tools and support, you can have a clear strategy and practical plan to follow. You are able to have agency in this process and be in the driving seat of your own recovery.
