## Caption

“You will never walk again.” - 17 years ago my Client Dr ong_olivia heard the words no one ever expects to hear.

To quote Olivia - “In September 2008, a car struck me and shattered not only my spine but the entire future she had imagined.

What came next was not a miracle.
It was not glamorous.
It was not straightforward.

She had to rebuild her identity.

She had to learn self-compassion, a skill she was never taught in medicine.

She had to become a different kind of doctor, one who understood healing in the body, the nervous system, the heart and the spirit.

📕Back on My Feet is Olivia’s story of that journey.
👉🏽From doctor to patient.
👉🏽From despair to determination.
👉🏽From self-cruelty to self-compassion.
👉🏽From breaking to becoming.
