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.

I believe in clear, upfront pricing so you always know what to expect. No hidden fees, no surprises—just straightforward information to help you make informed choices about your care and services.

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!!
