THE MINDFUL APPROACH TO PAIN AND INJURY

In a culture that glorifies pushing through pain, many athletes—and even everyday achievers—learn to ignore the body’s messages until it screams. As a former elite gymnast turned functional medicine and mindfulness practitioner, I’ve learned there’s a better way. In this blog, I share a powerful shift: learning to listen to pain with compassion rather than override it with willpower. Whether you're an athlete, a veteran, or someone living with chronic pain, this mindful approach can transform your healing.
