Why Long COVID Is So Difficult to Navigate
One of the hardest parts of Long COVID isn't just the symptoms themselves — it's the uncertainty. Fatigue that doesn't respond to rest. Brain fog that comes and goes. Pain that moves. A body that crashes after what should have been a manageable day. And often, no clear explanation from imaging or standard bloodwork.
That doesn't mean nothing is wrong. In fact, there's often very significant physical changes that standard tests don't pick up. But, what it often means is that the part of the picture getting missed is the nervous system. COVID-19 can disrupt how the nervous system functions — affecting how the brain processes signals from the body, how the autonomic system regulates energy and recovery, and how the body responds to even mild exertion. These are real physiological changes. And they're also workable ones.
A Careful, Paced Approach
With Long COVID — and especially with post-exertional malaise — pushing harder is not the answer. One of the most important things we can do early on is understand your current capacity and work within it, not past it. Pacing isn't giving up. It's a strategy that protects the nervous system from the boom-and-bust cycles that keep many people stuck.
From there, we work on nervous system regulation — helping your system feel safe enough to start recovering. That might include breathwork, biofeedback, gentle movement, education, or coaching, depending on what your system is ready for. There is no universal script here. What we do depends on you.
What to Expect
Working with Long COVID takes patience — from both of us. Progress isn't usually linear. There will be good stretches and harder ones, and both are part of the process. What I can offer is a space where your symptoms are taken seriously, where the approach is grounded in current evidence, and where the plan adapts as you do.
Sessions are available in person in Saskatoon and virtually for clients anywhere in Canada. If you're not sure whether what you're experiencing fits, the free 15-minute consultation is a good place to find out — no pressure, just an honest conversation.
Not Sure Where to Start
The free 15-minute consultation is exactly what it sounds like — a no-pressure conversation. You share what's going on, I share how I work, and we figure out together whether it's a good fit.
If it's not, I'll tell you that honestly — and I'll do my best to point you somewhere that is.
