Mary-Jo Fetterly: From Tragedy to Triumph in a Wheelchair
“The more you tune in, the more that channel is always kind of on the dial, and it's much easier than with a regular practice to make better choices, to understand what you need to respond with conscious, you know, engagement and intelligence, rather than reactionary sort of emotions or ideas about you know things.”
Have you ever wondered how someone could bounce back from a life-changing accident? Meet Mary-Jo Fetterly, a yoga pioneer whose life took an unexpected turn 12 years ago due to a skiing accident that resulted in a spinal cord injury. In this episode of 'Comeback Journeys in Recovery', host David Shadbolt sits down with Mary-Jo to explore her incredible journey of recovery and resilience. Despite the odds, Mary-Jo didn't just survive; she thrived.

Her story is not just about physical recovery but also about the power of the mind-body connection and conscious engagement. Mary-Jo shares her experiences, reflections, and the lessons she's learned along the way, offering a beacon of hope for anyone facing their own challenges.
