It’s crazy how much can change in a year!

Last June when I called Z to learn more about the @samsaraexperience program I was struggling with a lot of pain. I wasn’t moving well and a number of injuries had left me feeling like a prisoner in my body. I couldn’t run, bike or engage in mountain activities the way I once did.

As someone who relies on their body for work as a professional skier that scared the shi*t out of me. I was unsure of my future as a mountain athlete and was desperate to find a way to feel good again.

Within 3 weeks of aligning with Samsara I started to feel like I was moving better. Functional movement strength workouts, mobility and lots of zone 1 cardio base time allowed me to slowly learn how to trust my body again. As the trust grew and we ramped up my training I started to feel strong. Within a couple of months I was running pain free and was starting to feel like an athlete again.

This winter I was blown away by the big days my body was able to handle and how good I felt on my skis.

Working with Samsara has allowed me to see what my body is capable of with the right support and I've got this feeling that we are just getting started :)
