This conversation is a raw and casual episode with myself and a client who I recently started working with after a long road of navigating injury alongside an ADHD diagnosis. We discuss some of the difficulties whilst Lucy also gives her advice on what’s been helpful to her individually. As I say during the episode, this is not my expertise in any way and having this conversation also allowed me to learn and develop my own practice and how work with performers.

A conversation with Lucy Beeton, a freelance performing arts teacher who spent time navigating injury during vocational dance training. During the last few years she has also been on her own journey around mental health leading to an ADHD diagnosis. This is mostly her story around seeking help and guidance however we speak in part 2 more about the effects of ADHD on her rehabilitation with me.

A candid conversation back with Shannen Redmond about our experiences of vocational dance training including all the hard and the ugly. Shannen is openly an advocate for self advocacy and has gone on to teach exercise for mental health, turning around her experiences to help others. I also open up about my own experiences at ballet school before pursuing physio.
