After a moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury, everything familiar felt foreign. I survived, but I didn’t feel like myself at all.

The hardest part? It didn’t seem like anyone really understood — except for the people who had been through it too. That kind of loneliness can be heavier than the injury itself.

The Good Mood Method grew out of that experience. I got better when I accepted it wasn’t about pushing or “fixing,” but about rather, creating a relationship with my body.

I’ve now spent the past 10 years helping others recover — from both traumatic and everyday injuries. I work alongside some of the most forward-thinking concussion care teams and hold certifications in:

• SSP, RRP & iLs Listening Therapy

• Level 2 Foundation Training Movement

• Breathwork Coaching

• Trauma-Informed Somatic Coaching

• International Development & Health Studies (Hons.)

• Polyvagal Playzone Coaching

What I know for sure is this: healing isn’t something you do alone. Recovery is about creating the biological conditions where the body can finally believe the danger has passed. Only then can we begin to feel like ourselves again.

And if you ever want to share your story, I’m here.

Sometimes the greatest relief is just being understood.
