PATIENT EMPOWERMENT
You've got this.

You've got this. 〰️
😰 Feeling lost after a chronic illness diagnosis? Need help getting a diagnosis? I can guide you through the confusing maze of hEDS, POTS, MCAS, and other complex conditions.
📝 Save time and energy — I’ve already compiled trusted recommendations for practioners who truly understand connective tissue disorders and lifestyle changes that actually help you feel better.
💡 Get actionable guidance — from navigating new diagnoses to connecting with the right care providers.
🚫 No more endless referrals — we cut through the wait times and confusion so you can get help that actually works.
🌟 You’re not alone — I understand your experience because I’ve been there myself, and together we can chart a path toward feeling better.
Being diagnosed with a chronic illness cluster was simultaneously the most relieving and terrifying thing that has ever happened to me. Leaving that first appointment, diagnostic criteria in hand, I remember thinking, “well what now?! I have no idea where to start.”
In that moment, I needed someone who understood what it was like to live in a body with Hypermobile Ehler’s Danlos Syndrome (and company) and show me that there is a whole network of folks who can help. If I could have had a one-pager with recommendations for primary care, massage, acupuncture clinics that know what the heck connective tissue is, I would have saved so much time and emotional energy.I needed to know how my body was different, and what to do about it.
Good news for you - you found me. I’ve done the work already, and that one-pager exists - let’s get you connected.
But like, what is it?
Patient Empowerment coaching is especially helpful for people who need guidance getting diagnosed with a primary or secondary condition and are navigating new health-care territory. Finally getting answers about your complex health picture can help you move in the direction of receiving care that actually helps. In general, my work centers around patient education and empowerment, as well as support through the diagnostic process of hEDS/POTS/MCAS.
No more waiting 6-months for a specialist and then getting referred to another specialist. What do they specialize in anyway, referrals?! Yeah, we aren’t doing that.
You might not feel it now, but there are so many people that are knowledgable about Hypermobile Ehler’s Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) who want to help.
I’m one of those people!
You’re not crazy, and we can figure out what is going on. Wherever you are on your journey, there is an opportunity to get you feeling better.
Hypermobility Huddle: A Zebra Support Space is a gentle, trauma-informed community gathering created for people living with hypermobility spectrum disorders, hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), and related conditions like Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) among others.
Held on the second Sunday of every month from 12-1:30PM (EST), this supportive group offers a space to slow down, be witnessed, and connect with others who truly get it.
Together we’ll blend:
Arriving mindfulness practice
Gentle, hypermobility-aware movement
Community connection and sharing
Practical resource exchange
A brief educational spotlight on a hypermobility-related topic
This is not a high-pressure or high-intensity space — you are always welcome to participate in the way your body allows on any given day.
The group is trauma-informed and accessibility-minded, facilitated by a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) and experienced yoga and meditation teacher who lives in a hypermobile body herself.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been navigating this for years, you are warmly welcome here. 🦓
If cost is a barrier, please reach out. I want this gathering to be as accessible for everyone as possible, and that includes making it affordable based on your situation.
Pricing increase notice! :)
Contracts signed 6/1/2026 onward will be priced to reflect the following:
Foundations - $500
Empowerment - $750
Resilience - $1,250
Single Follow Up - $150
Package of 4 Follow Ups - $500
This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while. Making my services accessible is important to me, and the Build-Your-Own package will always be available as an option. This shift reflects compensation for the amount of time 1:1 with you all, but also compiling individualized resources, keeping accurate records, paying overhead expenses, email correspondence, and paperwork.
All booked intakes and existing contracts at the original pricing will be honored.
I appreciate your understanding, and welcome your input and feedback. Send me a message to my email! loveandlightwellness@outlook.com

Packages outside of your budget?
I totally understand that finances and illness can be complicated. Draft up a short proposal that includes what sort of specific support you’re looking for (diagnostic support, patient education, lifestyle support, how to screen for comorbidities, etc), how many sessions (and their length), and what price you think would be both fair and doable for you. I will review and get back to you!!
