LET’S WORK TOGETHER
When I began following others dealing with similar chronic illnesses as me – I had so many questions: how they got diagnosed, what facilities they had to go to, what treatments they recommended, what certain testing entailed, how it was done, what life was like with certain medical aids (like a feeding tube), and so on.
The list was endless.
Sometimes, I felt my questions were so complex, personal, and specific that I wished I could just call them up and talk to them. I knew they too were dealing with their own health issues, though, and were probably receiving so many DMs that I knew I couldn’t ask that of them.
That’s why I wanted to offer this – to anyone who is in the same boat and has questions or wants to just talk to someone who’s been through it.
Keep in mind, I cannot give specific medical advice or anything of that nature, but I can talk to you about my experience, what I have learned, share resources, and be a friend who just gets it.
Here are some topics people often like to ask me about:
How did you apply to Mayo Clinic & what tips, tricks, and recommendations do you have for someone trying to go?
Questions on finding an Autonomic Clinic and Dysautonomia testing
Questions about specific medical conditions (that I also have) and my experience with testing, diagnosis and treatment
How did I get prescribed I.V.I.G.? What is the infusion like? Tips & tricks? How has it worked for you? Was it worth it?
Home health nurses vs. infusion clinic nurses? Which was better? Pros & cons? What is it like having them come to your house?
What were the signs & symptoms you had of _________? What type of doctor did you see? What tests did they run to diagnose it?
How have you been managing & treating medical-related P.T.S.D.?
What was your experience with functional medicine and how do I seek out a functional medicine practitioner?

I’m a purpose-driven entrepreneur, non-profit founder, chronic illness, activist & advocate, podcaster, public speaker and healthy home interior designer!
BUT – that’s not really who I am, it’s what I do.
While that gives you some context, it doesn’t show you my heart or story or how I can help you – and that’s WAY more important – so let me tell you!
After being sick for 10 years with over 20 chronic & rare conditions, needing a feeding tube & weekly infusions to survive, I learned how short & fragile life really, really is. As I began to heal, I realized what I really wanted to do was to create a life I truly loved every little bit of & I knew that for me, that meant finding a way to take my pain and turn it into passion, purpose & positive impact so I could pay forward all the love, support, and help that others gave me in my time of need.
So that’s what I try to do here: share my story and journey to help inspire, empower, and equip others to turn their struggles into their strengths and create a life they truly love—filled with passion, purpose, and positive impact—while I work to do the same! I hope you’ll join me!
