40 years of experience

I help individuals who struggle with the physical and emotional effects of chronic inflammation to take charge of their health and well-being so they can experience a better quality of life without overwhelm and distress. Whether they are managing one or more chronic illnesses, experiencing persistent pain, navigating life stage transitions or seeking to ease the stress and overwhelm of caregiving, I offer them a safe and supportive space to restore their health, identity and well-being.
