Jon’s Story
Jon began his journey at Ladan’s Wellness Sanctuary in mid August 2020. Like many of the students we work alongside at the Sanctuary, we first had to analyze Jon’s condition and goals, both short and long-term before beginning.
Jon has had cerebral palsy since birth…
… one of the most common motor disabilities in childhood, which has affected his ability to move and maintain balance and posture.
Jon’s story is anything from common however, as he has overcome hurdles and achieved goals that neither of us thought possible from his start at the Sanctuary.
His ~7 month journey at our studio has shown us the power of using unique and personal approaches to try to tackle even the most difficult tasks. Jon is well on his way to being able to perform tasks that he has dreamed of for years (in our case, specifically being able to perform Taekwondo routines). Although there is much hard work to do along the way, John’s bright future is not only inspiring, but a template for how we choose to approach every client that walks into our sanctuary, regardless of their abilities.
