Early experience with health navigation arose with the news of my thoughtful pediatric specialists to accept “my new normal” after acute myelin sheath damage at age 8. In my twenties, I acquired and recovered from hyperadrenergic POTS. In adulthood, I developed a rare disease of the neuromuscular junction. I have invested significant effort and heart into new care concepts and strategies in my quest for condition management. I am pleased to share my condition is stabilized and I continue to experience symptom improvement each year.
While our health pathways are unique to each of us, I have gained a number of skills and knowledge that make navigating cumbersome health scenarios more fulfilling and efficient. I have been honored to assist many with their health pathways through the years. To best support others, I uphold the standard of practice and code of ethics defined by the National Association of Healthcare Advocacy (NAHAC).
I hold past experience as a certified neuroplasticity-based coach. I have had the unique opportunity to gain insight from the daily, long-term experiences of hundreds of individuals with various unmanaged conditions in a professional setting. This has helped pave the way for what I do now.
Why am I a Health Navigation Coach?
Too often there is a gap identifying what an individual needs for adequate condition management. My heart lies in seeing to these needs being fulfilled. I help individuals identify what they may need to regain progress and wellness. I approach coaching with compassion and creativity, and it is an honor assisting these brave individuals.
Why a Nuthatch?
The nuthatch is a delightful, unassuming bird that embodies courage, resourcefulness and adaptability – a brave soul.
