Nervously, I’m beginning this blog by sharing one of my most vulnerable experiences, a pivotal moment that led me to create U&I. It seems appropriate to start here. It all began over two and a half years ago when I found myself captivated by one of the most intense crushes of my life. Upon meeting this person, I experienced what the Québecois call a “coup de foudre” – a sudden, thunderbolt-like attraction. I was taken aback, as he seemed younger than I and “too pretty” for me. He was also my health practitioner. I had booked an appointment with someone I had never laid eyes on to help me with a back injury that was causing incredible grief. I was in a lot of pain which was starting to impact not only my mobility but my mental health. So I shooed away this pesky crush and stepped into his care.
