I have many clients who are athletes and are athletic/active in their daily lives. Is Thai Massage good for athletes? Yes. Why is Thai massage good for athletes? Professional athletes train hard every day, but their job is to also recover from their hard training quickly and rest well so that they can get back […]
Do you have PAIN? What do you do then?
I get frequent questions from my clients such as “I have a new pain. I don’t know what it is and I don’t know what to do about it.” “I have had this pain for a while. Should I keep resting? Or should I exercise/stretch?” Have you had these questions yourself too? I believe we […]
Wisdom of Yoga for my ankle rehab
This week marks the 16thweek since my surgery. I’m back to all activities including crack climbing. I hiked up the Mt of the Holy Cross (one of the 14ers in CO) with a bunch of good friends yesterday and that was quite reassuring that my ankle/leg did not even twinge going up and down. I’m […]

He has been offering me selfless support and care. He did not disappoint when I really needed some humor and laughter right […]
Enjoying a new normal
I am now in my favorite part of the injury rehab. The dreading throb and pain is subsiding mostly and I’m cleared to do more things. Yes, there’s still pain and discomfort. But when I can see the progress EVERY SINGLE DAY, why not love my life for it? I love making progresses and my […]
Rehab diary ~ Never taking this for granted…~
Exciting news! I’m off crutches since this Thu. It’s such a wonderful feeling to have 2 legs working and being able to walk (not so smooth quite yet and pain and stiffness is for real..). Never taking this for granted again. Do you know what I did to celebrate right after crutches came off? I […]
Healing my broken ankle
As I promised, I’m updating you with my healing process from a broken ankle. It’s been a little over 4 weeks since my ankle surgery. I now have a plate and 5 screws on my distal fibula. Woohoo. It’s unbelievable that it took me 37 years to break a bone. I was always physically active […]
