About Me
My name is Jackie, and I had Long Covid.
I was an energetic lover of the outdoors, enjoying long mountain walks, long distance cycling and running. I combined this with a full-on job of teaching Cello in schools as well as working freelance.
Until Covid struck.
My Long Covid journey lasted over 3 years before I recovered. Through my experience, I found a lot of things that helped (& didn't) and spoke to some incredible people. I am now working as a breathing coach helping those with Long Covid.
Why a podcast? Those suffering often feel helpless, lonely and scared. This podcast brings together lived experience stories, medical experts, researchers & recovery stories, to help us with what we can do, rather than what we can't.
