Work, School, Skating, Social Life…A body can only take a tight schedule for so long before it starts breaking down.

Adrenaline addiction resulting in temporary pain relief
Being an athlete is not always easy. Every sport is hard in their own way, however I can only talk as a figure skater since that is the only sport I have continued to do for 18 years and counting, (done: ballet/dance, swimming, field hockey, track and field-but none ever stuck). As you know from…

Endometriosis: The Fear of Pregnancy
Lately, everyone I know is getting pregnant or is already a mother… Now, I am only 23 years old but watching my high school friends (and everyone I am in contact with lately) have kids and it is starting to stress me out. I cannot help but think what I am doing wrong? If anything? I…
Figure Skating saved my life
Life started dramatically changing in 2014. I was on the ice on a daily basis. Yet, I was no longer able to achieve the goals I had been aiming for since I started when I was five years old. I started to have full body pain and was severely exhausted. it felt like my body was…
