Why Counselling & Fitness?
To me, the body and mind are not separate entities. The brain is a physiological structure. It's shaped by our experiences on a biological level. Our thoughts are also shaped by our experiences. Our bodies are also shaped by experiences. Both counselling and exercise offer methods to lead to changes in how you view yourself, how you view the world around you, and how you interact with the world around you. Both areas - counselling and fitness - are tools to change yourself to achieve a better quality of life and have greater life satisfaction.
My mission is to help people with Autism and other developmental disabilities, as well as their families and caregivers, to achieve better physical health and mental health outcomes, leading to increased quality of life, life satisfaction, and independence levels.
