Eliza Sampey

Eliza Sampey has been an endurance athlete her whole life; growing up exploring the woods near her family farm on bikes, horses, skis, foot, and poorly built log rafts. Her parents knew she was a “crazy one” by the age of two, when she refused to stop skiing around the yard in the frigid Minnesota winter and they had to drag her kicking and screaming indoors to avoid frostbite. She became hooked on bikes at the age of fifteen, and these days she spends her time training for self-supported bikepacking races and multisport expeditions worldwide. Eliza is a pro rider for Revel Bikes, holds a doctoral degree in physical therapy, and runs a small physical therapy and adventure coaching company. She learned about LoveYourBrain through Revel, and used the LYB Yoga and Mindset programs as her first resource when she sustained a TBI in October 2020. LYB was a significant part of her healing journey, and she went on to participate in the Yoga for Healthcare Professionals training to incorporate the LYB methods and philosophy into her own work.
