Episode #71: Use the boxer within. How martial arts boosts mental health with Vickie Simos - a podcast by Professor Selena Bartlett, Neuroscientist and Group Leader Neuroscience and Neuroplasticity, Translational Research Institute, QUT
from 2021-10-13T16:00
Vickie Simos talks about how martial arts can increase confidence, reduce anger, and lead to an overall boost in mental health. After years of self-doubt and self-deprecation, Vickie Simos has made many discoveries about who she was and who she wants to be – a confident, strong person who considers herself worthy of all the best life has to offer. Thelo (Teach, Help, Elevate, Lives, Organically) was founded from these experiences and the desire to share her hard learned knowledge and help other people gain confidence in mind and body.
For the last decade Vickie has been involved in working with children, with various programs including Melbourne Kids Developmental Services, and the Active After School communities program, as well as mentoring and volunteering at various schools and organisations such as Anglicare.
