Hannah's story

I’ve been working with Hollie since 2020, and in that time she has become an essential part of how I stay moving, functioning, and able to live my life with chronic and fluctuating conditions. Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and ADHD means my needs change constantly- but Hollie adapts with me every single time.

What stands out most is how brilliantly she manages both my body and my life. She works around my ever‑shifting symptoms and my chaotic work and home schedule, making it possible for me to keep showing up even when everything feels unpredictable.

We’ve worked on stabilisation, joint protection, functional strength, and building habits that help prevent the same injuries from cycling around again. When I’m consistent with my sessions, the difference is incredible: I can lift my bag into the car without dislocating something, and I can even wash my hair without popping my shoulder out of place. Improvements like these change my day‑to‑day life in ways that really matter- they give me back independence and ease in simple tasks that most people don’t even think about.

Hollie has this perfect balance of knowing when to rein me in (because yes, I definitely try to do too much when I have a good day) and when to gently push me (especially on the days when motivation has completely left the building). She does all of it with humour, compassion, and genuine empathy for how unpredictable chronic illness can be.

What keeps me coming back to her sessions is simple: with Hollie, I always feel supported, understood, and capable of starting again– no matter how many times my health forces me to press reset. She keeps me going, keeps me hopeful, and keeps me moving safely.
