My Story

Living with chronic illness has reshaped how I think about healing, growth, and what it means to live intentionally.

I've lived with chronic pain for as long as I can remember.

I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was a kid, and struggled with chronic back pain due to a gymnastics injury. In my teens and early 20s, I was diagnosed with multiple mental health conditions and Celiac disease.

​

Many of the symptoms I experienced were further amplified when I developed fibromyalgia and arthritis in my late 20s. At my lowest points, even washing my hair became difficult. I endured many months of relentless “burning skin” pain, severe fatigue, brain fog and sleep issues (classic fibro!). 

​

During all of this, I was living abroad, trying to build a business, and feeling incredibly isolated and discouraged. But the severity of my condition became a catalyst for change—I had no choice but to understand my body better and learn how to partner with it.

​

Life’s challenges push us to reflect on our values and how we want to engage with the world. â€‹

​

For me, that meant creating a life spacious enough to hold both the difficult days and the hopeful ones.​

As someone who cares deeply and wants to make a difference, I’ve learned I don’t need to sacrifice my well-being to pursue my mission. Actually, it's the opposite. A project or goal cannot grow into something meaningful if I’m not well enough to sustain it.

​

Nervous system regulation and coaching helped me pursue goals in ways that honoured both my body and my spirit, and allowed me to reconnect with what I actually wanted.

Drawing from those experiences, I offer coaching for those feeling disconnected from their purpose, body, or rhythm—often while navigating chronic illness, neurodiversity, overwhelm, or burnout.

​

I don’t have it all figured out, and I still have tough days. But I believe in the inner strength each of us carries. Even when things feel uncertain, we can still create a life that feels true to us. And I believe we can get there faster and more sustainably with support.

My Approach

I'm a trauma-informed practitioner, trained by the Nervous System School, with additional training in life coaching, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), EFT (tapping), and nervous system regulation rooted in Polyvagal Theory.

​

My background in sustainability and the circular economy showed me how system breakdown happens when there’s constant output without restoration. The same is true for people.

 

You're not a machine to be optimized.
You're a living system to be nurtured.

 

In sessions, we slow down—until your clarity can catch up.
