The Journey
Discovery
Building Awareness
Your post-operative journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation via in-person initial assessment. You will receive a detailed understanding of your current condition and recovery goals, culminating in a personalised rehabilitation plan and a comprehensive report. These foundational insights will serve as the roadmap for your healing journey.
Foundation
Landing into Acceptance
During the first month post-surgery, the focus is on building a strong foundation for your recovery. Following your surgeon’s four-week post-op check-up, we will reassess your progress and develop your treatment plan, accepting your current stage and setting realistic goals for where you can go next.
Adaptation
Strengthening understanding and resilience
The focus shifts to strengthening your body and building your resilience. In-person follow-ups incorporate functional movements and personalised exercises to enhance your mobility and confidence. We will make adjustments as needed and incorporate holistic practices to optimise your healing and support your recovery goals.
Integration
Commitment to change
As your recovery progresses, the rehabilitation plan will also evolve to meet your changing needs. Here you will start to understand where you can integrate the practices into your daily life to ensure commitment and consistency. This stage ensures your recovery adapts dynamically and sustainably as you transition toward long-term wellness and independence.
Reflection
Changing perspectives
In the final stage of your journey, we review your overall progress, celebrate your achievements, and provide a comprehensive final report with holistic recommendations to sustain your health and well-being. You will leave with a clear, actionable plan for integrating wellness into your daily life, embracing the perspective that health is a continuous part of your life - not just something to "get over" or leave solely in the hands of doctors. You will feel empowered to maintain your recovery and vitality beyond the program, and I will be here to support you if you’re ready to explore new areas of growth for your body and mind!

“Success is the product of daily habits—not once-in-a-lifetime transformations.”

Changing the system
Recovering from surgery can be an emotional rollercoaster, with some days feeling great and others challenging.
Throughout this journey, we will navigate those ups and downs together, building your emotional and physical resilience to manage change—not just in recovery, but in all aspects of your life.
Sometimes these points in our life give us space and force us into making bigger changes. The focus will be on your overall system, rather than just specific goals, allowing healing to become a natural part of your life rather than something to simply “get over.”
By the end of this program, you will feel transformed, embracing the positive changes you’ve experienced.
