BUILDING THE STRONGEST YOU! Strong with Sophie Facebook Group! Fitness Community for women looking to get STRONG!
Hello my name is Sophie Gillett - AKA @surgery2strong from Vancouver BC, Canada. Living on the West Coast, I have always been drawn to the ocean and mountains - which unfortunately lead to my accident in 2014. In a blink of an eye I incurred a life threatening fall snowboarding which rushed me into emergency surgery having 35% of my pancreas (a critical organ in our digestive system) removed. Wa
king up to 9 tubes coming out of my body and a 5 inch vertical scar down my stomach left me with not only physical trauma, but mental trauma as well to overcome. In the hospital I made a promise to myself to get STRONG, dedicating the next 5 years to pursue this goal. I chose to focus on holistic practices to help myself recover from an intense abdominal procedure along with being diagnosed with PTSD. I have done all my own physical and mental training to avoid prescription drugs and therapy. Recovering has truly shown me the benefits and importance a combination of a active lifestyle, healthy choices & mindset can achieve. I started sharing this journey of recovery on Instagram, which allowed me to connect with the fitness and mindfulness communities and find and motivate others in similar situations! Now as a personal trainer I hope to use my experience and knowledge to help build the strongest you!
