My guest today is Kristy Shelley.

She is a fellow Aussie and was a self-confessed ski bum in her youth, she chased the fresh pow across the northern and southern hemispheres as a ski instructor, before she finally decided to go to the Hollywood of big mountain sports - Chamonix.

And like so many people before her, the allure and attraction of the Cham was strong,

She soon realised if this was to become a permanent place to live she needed to make a living. 

So she enrolled in a Rolfing school and became a qualified Rolfer which is a unique and specialized type of body therapy. A perfect way to earn a living in a place where people are obsessed with being outdoors and pursuing active lifestyles.

She has built a reputation and successful business, helping people to live pain-free and restore movement and mobility so that mountain athletes to regular workers like you and I can pursue our passion for sports and being outdoors in the mountains.

This was a very interesting meeting, and now with hindsight, I wish I'd prepared better for it. Kristy has a wealth of knowledge and passion for mobility and movement. I only scratched the surface. So I think I will have to have her on the show again in the future. So let's call this part 1.

Hello friends, I am your host ASHLEY PETTIT welcome to another episode of the Beyond the Mountains podcast. Where I talk to people who live work and play in the mountains.

Let's start the intro music and get on with the show. Allons-y
