About

I help those with POTS, dysautonomia, and Long Covid regain their energy and independence. In other words, I help you feel like yourself again - as I have personally been through this. My own healing journey inspired me to completely change career paths and become a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach.I experienced chronic symptoms that got worse with each passing year and left me feeling physically and emotionally drained. For the first few years, I was told the symptoms were "just stress and anxiety" and that it would pass. As time went on and the symptoms continued worsening, I was finally diagnosed. I was diagnosed with conditions ranging from POTS and EDS to gastroparesis and SIBO, among others. Medication helped mask some of the symptoms, but the side effects left me feeling even more exhausted. I felt overwhelmed and stuck, and the medications felt like putting just a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. I believed that there had to be a more comprehensive way to look at my symptoms instead of managing them one by one. I wanted my independent, productive life back.It's taken time, and many baby steps, but after all that frustration and confusion, I was able to start taking back control of my life. I startedresearching the autonomic nervous system, the gut, and the interconnectedness of the human body, and experimented with various modalities. Through this, I learned that healing is possible. Did I fully get rid of flare-ups? Of course not. But now they happen a few times a year instead of a few times a week. Although I still have POTS (& Co), it no longer controls my life.Using my education and passion for healing, I help you transform your health by supporting you in making lifestyle and diet choices.
