We’re moving beyond the RICE (Rest -Ice -Compress - Elevate) method for soft tissue injury management. The PEACE & LOVE approach promotes better long-term healing by combining protection, education, and active recovery.

💥 PEACE (immediately after injury):
P – Protect
E – Elevate
A – Avoid anti-inflammatories
C – Compress
E – Educate

❤️ LOVE (after the acute phase):
L – Load
O – Optimism
V – Vascularisation
E – Exercise

The goal? Heal better and stronger.
Let your body do its thing — with guidance, not panic.

“The commodification of the health industry has made health and wellness seem inaccessible. We’re constantly told—directly or subtly—that to live a healthy lifestyle, we need to buy this, that, and the other product. From supplements and skincare routines to subscriptions, retreats, and gadgets, the message is clear: health has a price tag.

✨Capitalism✨ has fed us the subliminal idea that wellness must always cost a fortune. But we resist that. Self-care, health, and wellness are practices—not products.

✨ Spend time with people you love and who love you.
✨ Go outside.
✨ Move your body. It’s often free.
✨ Nourishing food doesn’t need a fancy label.
✨ Spend some time alone.
✨ Sleep and hydration beat any trendy quick fix.

Health and wellness should be simple, sustainable, and accessible to everyone. Let’s cut through the noise and focus on what truly works—because wellness is a right, not a luxury.”

Hello 🌺 Allow me to re-introduce myself!
1. My name is still Damaris Kangai 🤭 I go by both.

2. I listen to A LOT of ambient music. My favourite alumni is called “Music for Psychedelic Therapy” by Jon Hopkins ✨

3. Lately I’ve been having a deep desire to be by the ocean and in water. I’m finding myself scheming as to how I can be close as often as possible 🐠 🏝️

4. I’m learning to slow down which is interesting to experience.

5. I’m grateful for my job. It’s a wonder to facilitate so many incredible people’s rehab and return to play journeys. Walking with people and seeing them heal, get better everyday, perform highly athletically is such a gift to me.

6. I’m a plant mum these days! 🪴

7. I’m deeply interested in the African continent and her future and I’m reading more to try and understand her. My current read is, “The Challenge for Africa” by Wangari Maathai 🌱

8. A statement that’s been ringing in my mind a lot is, “Hope is a discipline”. I’ve been quite deliberate at cultivating hope. I feel I and we need it more than ever.

I found this journal prompt, “What makes your life seem easier?” and wrote down my answers. It’s funny many of the things that make my life seem easier are not necessarily easy to do but go such a long way in feeling like this little life this can be done 🥺

🤎 Sleeping - Everything. Poor sleep comes with tiredness, brain fog, irritability and life just feels so hard.
🤎 Doing life with people I love - I only know sweeties. They mean the world to me and make life worth living.
🤎 Meal prep - Not thinking about what I have to eat takes away so much trouble and brain effort
🤎 Training consistently- Moving has always helped me process life. The feeling of being strong, being able to endure and even the fact that I can switch off. Grateful.
🤎Co-working with friends- Suffering together makes things less sufferable

What are yours? Write them down. Do them often.

Lifting weights isn’t just about getting stronger—it’s a game-changer for your metabolism! 💪 By increasing muscle mass, strength training supercharges your resting metabolic rate (RMR), helping you burn more calories even when you’re at rest. 🔥 Plus, it triggers Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC), meaning you continue to burn calories long after your workout is over. Embrace the power of weightlifting to ignite your metabolism and transform your fitness journey! 🚀 ”
