She shares her Chronic Illness Journey of enduring chronic conditions such as hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic pelvic pain, autoimmune sensitivities, and the long process of seeking understanding and relief. She takes us through her journey from childhood to now and how taking an integrative healing approach which addresses body, mind, emotions, energy, and spirit as an interconnected system was the key to managing her conditions and living her best life. She offers us practical steps for integrating mind-body coaching into daily life without seeking a once off “cure”. Includes step-by-step grounding, breathing, and sensory awareness practices.
