Beating Limitations
Partager
Living a life which seeks to understand, push and redefine personal limits. Health and fitness, life with CMT and EDS, thoughts and laughter.
I was diagnosed with Charcot Marie Tooth type 1A in 2004, and Ehlers Danlos Hypermobility in 2007. In 2006, when climbing up my stairs started to become too much, I decided that I needed to reclaim my life through finding balance - and my health. I started doing endurance sports in 2007, and in 2016 my interest in healthy living led me to further studies in health and wellness coaching. Through persistence and with the help of great coaches I have learned that reclaiming my health is possible. I went from finding 100 meters in the pool a tough challenge to finishing the Scilly Swim Challenge in 2017 (15km swimming 10km walking in one day). I have learned that my body is capable of much more than I had ever dreamed, including multiple endurance cycling challenges as well as competing on the international stage in paratriathlon. I attribute my success to a changed mindset and embracing healthy living as a 24-7-365 endeavour. My health coach training includes the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, Macrobiotic Cooking and Coaching with Simon Brown, and the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy. For me, I get strong to stay strong. I am active to stay active. I strive to find my own balance, and to beat my limitations. If this resonates with you, please reach out. I work with a handful of clients to help people shift their lifestyles and manage challenges - be it chronic health problems or finding balance in a busy life.

Wow, the 2024 Paris Olympics will make history by achieving numerical gender parity on the field of play, ensuring equal representation of male and female athletes!
Women have come a long way since competing in the Olympic Games for the first time in 1900, also in Paris. That year, women represented only 2.2% of all participants. Women were allowed to compete in the marathon in 1984.

At the start of each year I try to choose a word or phrase as a guiding thought for the year to come.
This year I chose “Slow Down” and “Make Time”
The last two years have been crazy. I’ve felt crowded out looking after others (I had a really big team at work and spent a lot of time and effort to be the best manager coach that I could). But perhaps at the expense of myself and those who I love.
This year, my change of job at the end of 2021 feels like a chance to re-prioritise. To Slow Down and Make Time for what is important to me. To be a better me.
So those are my 2022 phrases. Do you choose words or mantras for the new year? Which ones are yours?

We have a long way to go.
With less than 1000 days until Paris 2024, I am looking forward to signing up to volunteer and hopefully be a part of a more accessible experience.

Autumn is here in Paris. And with it, change. I’m changing jobs. Trying to find a new balance. Prioritising me a bit more. I’m happy to be here. And to be here more

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain,
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
How I wish you were here...

A few days off with sea air and long walks. Good for the soul.
