Trapped in the hell between sick and well and how to break free
I’m so glad you're here!
My goal is to help you get well, stay well, and be well. Here I’ll share information, inspiration, tools, and resources to help you feel better, be your own best advocate, have agency over your health, and experience the freedom of living life to its fullest.
As someone living with a complex chronic illness, I don’t want you to ever suffer the way that I did. I’m all too familiar with the endless search for competent care, the frustration or fear of not being believed by doctors or loved ones, the strain illness places on relationships, the quiet loneliness that can follow every setback, and the emotional rollercoaster that we ride along the journey on the tide back to wellness.
Trust me, I’ve been there, both as patient, and provider, and I have a unique prism. I want to walk you through overcoming health obstacles, finding your strength, rediscovering your agency, taking your health into your own hands, and learning that YOU don’t have to face these challenges alone. I have your back.
My Story
I’m on a mission to empower patients to take their health into their own hands; to reclaim agency over their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
At 14, back pain incapacitated me. At 25, a perfect storm of health issues cropped up after a trip abroad – thyroid disorder, celiac disease, parasite infections and a severe gastric motility disorder. At 35, after decades of advocating for myself, I finally got the correct diagnosis of Late Stage Neurological Lyme Disease and Co-infections. I’ve learned how to manage my condition and live life full speed ahead.
