Women’s Post-Concussion and Lifestyle Recovery Coach

Hey there, I'm Caitlin.

I’m so glad you’re here!  

I’m a women’s concussion coach specializing in post-concussion recovery for women.

My mission is simple: to guide you back to feeling whole, vibrant, and fully yourself again while on your journey of healing your post-concussion syndrome (PCS).

Drawing from my personal experience and deep professional expertise, I’m here to walk beside you every step of the way.

A Personal Story:
from Darkness to Light

When my concussion hit, I was at the peak of my hospitality career—collaborating with Michelin-starred chefs and world-renowned wineries. On the outside, it looked like a dream, but inside something was missing. My heart yearned for a deeper purpose.

I wasn't ready to listen to that inner voice, so instead I pushed harder—until one too many snowboarding falls changed my life forever. Suddenly, I was in a dark room with blurred vision, nausea, and a profound sense of disconnection. It took two hospital visits and four weeks to accept reality: I had a concussion.  At 30 years old, my life felt shattered.

My recovery wasn't optional. It wasn't about just returning to work; it was about preserving memories I hadn’t yet created - future birthdays, vacations, and stories my future children would tell me. When COVID-19 paused the world, my own silence deepened. Slowly, through many tears, lots of prayer and styles of meditation, I finally listened to my inner wisdom, I committed  myself fully to healing from the inside out. Healing became my absolute priority.

Ironically, years earlier, I'd researched traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) with the Government of Canada, studying their psychological and social impacts extensively. Suddenly, I was living my own research. From that research, I knew I needed a holistic approach - not just medical protocols, but deep inner-healing guided by self-awareness, intuition, and trust.

I became the CEO of my own healing, building my team of healers and doctors, while reconnecting with the profound energetic wisdom within. Listening to the language of my body, I discovered that true healing from PCS isn't just about treating symptoms, it’s about realigning your life from within - learning to feel, listen, and trust my inner wisdom.

That wisdom changed everything.
It’s what saved me.

From this personal journey, Concussion Cate was born - not as a brand, but as a lifeline for women navigating their own invisible injuries and looking to deepen their connection to their own inner spirit and wisdom.

You don’t need to go it alone. And you certainly don’t need to surrender your power. In fact, you get to be at the centre of your healing. You get to build your team, speak your needs, call the shots, and live a life more aligned and vibrant than you’ve ever known.

This is your body. Your brain. Your healing

Women Focused

I specialize in post-concussion recovery for women because women’s bodies and brains are unique from men's yet are historically underrepresented in concussion research and care. CC supports you through personalized lifestyle adjustments, emotional and physical strategies, and empowering guidance all tailored to women, based on research and experience focused around a woman’s brain, body and lifestyle. I’m here to remind you that:

  • You are not broken—you’re becoming.

  • Your concussion is an invitation to greater healing.

  • You deserve tailored, compassionate support on your journey.

With the right support and knowledge, your PCS recovery can become a powerful tool for transformation.

Healing isn’t just clinical; it’s deeply spiritual and energetic. In my coaching, I merge cutting-edge research with profound inner wisdom. My method helps you cultivate self-trust, reconnect to your body’s intuitive healing capabilities, and guide your own healing from post-concussion syndrome.

Women’s bodies and brains are uniquely complex. My coaching honours these complexities by providing deeply personalized support that helps women not just survive - but truly thrive after PCS.
