We ask this question sincerely.

Depending on where you are in your recovery journey, it can feel hopeful, thought-provoking, or even a little unsettling to consider. When symptoms are unpredictable, looking too far ahead can feel difficult. Many people are simply focused on getting through the day with as much stability as possible.

At the same time, most of us naturally hope that improvement will come quickly. The reality is that meaningful change often develops through small, consistent steps that gradually support the body in moving back toward balance.

When Katie began her recovery path, it felt nearly impossible to answer this question in a detailed way. The most honest answer she could give herself was simple: “In six months, I don’t want to be where I am now.”

That was as specific as she felt comfortable being at the time. She did not yet know what level of improvement might be possible or what timelines might realistically look like.

Even so, that answer was enough to shift something important. 

The focus slowly moved from simply getting through the day to doing something each day that could support improvement, even if the pace of change was not yet clear. She began researching solutions that had evidence behind them and started experimenting with different tools, paying attention to which ones made the most meaningful difference.

It also helps to reverse the question: “Six months from now, do you want to be able to look back and say: 'I truly did what was in my control, and within my ability, to support my recovery '?”  

Let us explain what we mean by that.

At one point in her career, Andrea found herself at a tipping point, one that could have ended her Olympic career earlier than she wanted. She made a promise to herself: to go all in and do the work that was necessary, including the recovery work that would allow her to deliver quality training sessions.
Her goal at that moment was simple. Years later, she didn’t want to look back and wonder if things might have been different if she had only used the tools and resources available to her.
Adding recovery elements to her day made high-quality training possible again—both in quality and in quantity. And with that came many more successful years competing at the highest level. The same recovery tools are valuable for people looking for an improvement path after neurological or post-infection conditions have impacted their systems. Like Andrea, a simple daily commitment to control what is in your power - and reach - can make all the difference when you look back.  

As Long COVID Awareness Month comes to a close, we want people to know that options exist. There are tools and approaches that may help support recovery and allow people to explore what improvement could look like over time.

Sometimes the most meaningful shift begins with a simple decision to explore a different starting point. When the right tools are in place and the approach fits the body (and ability) you have today, small actions can begin to create real momentum.

If you have not yet considered what the next six months could look like, this may be a helpful moment to pause and reflect on that question.

Where could you be six months from now?

Warmly,  
Katie & Andrea

PS. As part of Long COVID Awareness Month, we want to make sure people know they have options — and a way to explore them without pressure.

You can access Unit 1 of our program for free to experience the approach, understand how a sustainable recovery process can begin, and see what feels relevant for you before deciding on anything further.

Sometimes the first step isn’t committing to a full program.
It’s simply committing to testing something supportive and giving yourself permission to try.

If and when you’re ready, the door is open.
