On August 13, 2024, at around 10:30 am, Filipinos were startled by an issue revealed by social media personality Christian Albert Gaza, also known as Xian Gaza, about Carlos Yulo's therapist. You may check the issue here. We won't be discussing the issue itself, but instead, we will be highlighting Carlos Yulo's Sports Occupational Therapist, Lyn Hazel Calawod.
According to her Linkedin :
Hazel finished her secondary education as Salutatorian at Notre Dame-Sienna School of Marbel, a Catholic institution in Koronadal City. She pursued a B.S. in Occupational Therapy at the University of the Philippines - Diliman from 2005 to 2010. In 2014, she completed a course on Environmental Home Modifications at Occupational Therapy Australia. In 2019, she took the Ergonomics and Human Factors: Strategic Solutions for Workplace Safety and Health course at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Hazel Calawod is an Australian-licensed Occupational Therapist (OT) with over 9 years of professional experience. She is the Founder of NeuroBalance Therapy, where she leads a team of rehabilitation specialists providing holistic therapy services to individuals with pain and injuries, the elderly, children with disabilities, and both amateur and elite athletes focused on optimizing human performance.
In addition to her OT practice, Hazel is an Elite Sports Performance Coach, working with clients that include UFC fighters, Under Armour athletes, and world champions in Esports. Notably, she served as the Sports Mind Coach for Bren Esports' 2021 Valorant Team, guiding them to become Southeast Asian Champions and securing a spot at Valorant Masters Berlin.
Hazel is a strong advocate for integrating multiple research-based therapies to meet her clients' specific needs and goals. Her clinical expertise spans Neurorehabilitation, Occupational Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Elite Athletic Performance Optimization, and the Aging Brain.
In 2021, Hazel secured first place in BR41N.IO’s global competition for artificial/augmented intelligence in the neurorehabilitation data analysis category. She was also a finalist in the Australian Embassy in the Philippines' 2018 Australia Alumni Excellence Awards.
Hazel has furthered her education by taking a course on ergonomics and human factors at Harvard University's School of Public Health.
In her personal time, Hazel is passionate about sports and the arts—enjoying dancing, painting, and singing. She also loves writing, horseback riding, and exploring nature. Currently, she is enhancing her coding skills as a Google Developer. Additionally, Hazel is an active member of Australia Global Alumni.
Based on her Instagram posts, she has been with the Philippines' National Team for Men’s Artistic Gymnastics since 2021, supporting them during the 31st SEA Games in Vietnam.
In addition to being a therapist, she is also a commercial model. Some of her projects include Chippy, Sprite, Coca-Cola, Block & White, Nescafe, and Bon Chon.
Her age? I couldn't find information on her birthdate, but she appears to be in her early to mid 30s.
