After navigating multiple chronic illness diagnoses in my early twenties, I turned to meditation and yoga as a way to make sense of my experience. Living with Hypermobile Ehler’s Danlos Syndrome, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is no joke! Oddly enough, sitting on a cushion and thinking about the nature of existence kind of helped. I live in Burlington, Vermont with my partner Dan. To find joy, I spend lots of time outside and bake gluten-free treats for my friends!!
I have always wanted to help people become the best version of themselves. Because my spirituality has supported me so much in working with my health challenges, that is exactly where I turned to first to help others. In college, I trained extensively as a hypermobile-aware yoga instructor, Nationally Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, and meditation mentor. Finding a way to make movement fun and safe again has been one of the most empowering and joyful experiences of my life, and I would love the opportunity to share that with you.
Through health and wellness coaching, you have the unique opportunity to make an intentional decision about what behaviors and patterns would be most supportive for the life that you want to live. That being said, because I also live in a body with EDS, I know we only have so many spoons to spend and encourage pacing, rest, and accommodations along the way.
I’ve got you. Let’s do this thing.
