Hazel suffers from 'flexorexia' - a type of body dysmorphia that affects mostly flexible people - and is unable to see herself as flexible enough, especially when she compares herself to others.
This follows her struggle with anorexia and bulimia that she suffered during her year long break from pole while studying in England.
'I would constantly compare my stomach, arms and legs to the girls around me and think that I was bigger than they all were when in reality I was 37kg and 2-4 sizes smaller than most of them. I just simply couldn’t achieve "Skinny’" and it became an obsession,' she wrote in a raw blog post.
Determined: 'Flexorexia is the SAME! I always wanted to become "flexible", but how will I ever know when I’m "flexible" enough? There seems to be no end to "flexible",' she said
