  • ABOUT ME

My first experience with health navigation came through my own need for a comprehensive and personalized approach, having experienced difficult-to-treat and incurable conditions in my life. From age 8, my leading specialists thoughtfully suggested to me to accept “my new normals”. I was heartbroken each time by these recommendations, yet emboldened to forge ahead because I continued to realize I was not ready to give up hope yet. In my quest for targeted support and condition management as an adult, I invested significant effort and heart to investigate new care concepts and better strategize my approach. Degeneration of my condition has halted 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 chronic conditions in a professional, non-medical setting. This helped pave the way for what I do now. 

Why am I a coach and ally?

Individuals with unmanaged conditions can feel the need for more meaningful treatment and practical solutions, and my heart lies in seeing to these needs being fulfilled. As a coach and ally, I help individuals learn of and identify what they may need to regain progress and wellness.

Identifying meaningful treatment is a common goal for those with unmanaged conditions, but finding it can prove unexpectedly challenging. I understand the complications in navigating complex health pathways and the methods to help solve them. I wish to assist these brave individuals.

Why a Nuthatch?

The nuthatch is a delightful, unassuming bird that embodies courage, resourcefulness and adaptability – a brave soul.
