I'm living fearlessly this September by participating in the Live Fearless Challenge 2024

I’m getting active to achieve 150kms and raise awareness and much needed funds for Australians living with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

As I challenge myself to reach these goals during September, it would really help me to know that I have your support. If you can rally behind me with even a small donation, it would motivate me through the month and keep my spirits high.

All proceeds go towards Crohn's & Colitis Australia's support services, research initiatives, education and advocacy programs for the Crohn's and colitis community.

Thank you and see you at the finish line!

Living with an Autoimmune Condition as a health Professional

Hello, I'm PhysioNiks, also known as the Autoimmune Physio.

Being a Physiotherapist with an autoimmune condition enables me to provide a more comprehensive approach to treating clients.

I've been living with Ulcerative Colitis since 2017, which has presented various challenges. In the past two years, I have fully embraced my diagnosis and used it as a compass to assist my clients in their own journey with Autoimmune conditions. 

While not everyone with a diagnosis experiences the same symptoms, there are many shared experiences that define the autoimmune lifestyle.

By drawing on my own journey and my clients' stories, I support individuals in navigating their diagnosis and living life to the fullest.


The most important lesson I've learned in the past seven years is that having a diagnosis does not mean being defined by the illness or letting it hold you back.

I am always eager to participate in the Live Fearless Challange to help raise awareness about Inflammatory Bowel Disease and its impact on a person's mental and physical health.

 I also take this opportunity to connect with other individuals who share the diagnosis and create a tribe of IBD warriors.

I am reminded about how precious my health is and take this time to nurture my body and mind. As I recognize the importance of self-care in maintaining overall well-being. Simple practices, like enjoying a nutritious meal,  walking the 5k's in the fresh air, or setting aside moments for meditation, contribute significantly to my physical and mental health.

Moreover, connecting with loved ones and fostering supportive relationships adds an extra layer of richness to my life.

Laughing with friends, sharing  IBD stories, and being there for each other creates a sense of belonging and joy that is truly irreplaceable.

As I reflect on these aspects, I am filled with gratitude for the resilience and strength my body and mind possess.

 Each day presents an opportunity to cherish and enhance this invaluable gift, ensuring that I can continue to thrive and embrace the beauty of life in all its forms.

My motto has been and will always be

REST REVIVE THRIVE 

I look forward to successfully  completing this challenge!
