The girl behind #wheelstrong
I’m Krystina or just Krys… quad mom, holistic coach, and the founder of #WheelStrong.
Paralyzed AF… but that’s not where my story ends. That’s where it really began.
My life flipped upside down after a spinal cord injury left me a C6 quadriplegic. I woke up in a ICU, then landed in a nursing home, fighting for my life (and not in the dramatic reality TV way…like, actual near-death vibes). No resources. No answers. Definitely no accessible gym. Just me, some pudding cups, and a whole lotta “WTF now?”
So I made a choice: if the system wasn’t going to help me… I’d become the system.
I dove deep into healing… mind, body, and spirit. I’m certified in Naturopathic Coaching, Neuroscience Coaching, and Herbalism, and I’m currently expanding into Adaptive Fitness, Meditation, and Intuitive Healing. Because when you’re rebuilding your life from scratch, you don’t just need motivation… you need tools. And I’ve got plenty.
That’s how #WheelStrong was born. It’s more than a hashtag… it’s a movement. For the revolutionaries in wheelchairs. The quiet warriors. The ones learning to heal with grit, grace, and a side of sarcasm.
I’m not here to sugarcoat the journey. I’m here to show you that it’s possible to rebuild your life…. even from the seated position. So if you’re down to laugh, cry, heal, and occasionally roast the medical system together… welcome home.
I don’t have it all figured out… but I’m rolling this healing journey right beside you.
With love & power,
Krys
