I didn't choose this work by accident.
I grew up watching chronic illness shape the lives of the people closest to me.
My mother has rheumatoid arthritis. Her symptoms started at least ten years before she was ever diagnosed. If someone had explained to her how stress was affecting her body, and what was happening in her gut before the damage set in, her journey could have looked very different.
My father started with diabetes, and later he developed heart disease as well. He was never really in touch with his own feelings, and I think that is part of why he kept living the way he always had, not the way his body needed him to. No one looked deeper with him either. By the time the damage showed, it was too late to undo it.
That's what brought me to this work. Over 8 years of working with people living with chronic illness and chronic pain, I kept seeing the same thing: people weren't taught how to read what their body is telling them. Most of us grow up learning to push through, not to pay attention. And by the time the diagnosis comes, the signals have been there for years.
But here's what my clients discover every time:
You already know your body better than anyone else.
I help you understand what it is telling you.
