Mission: To be present besides those in darkness
At times, walking the path of serious chronic illness can feel like being in a dark tunnel, with such little light that you can barely see three steps in front of you, much less the horizon ahead. And the trauma and isolation that often accompany this journey can block access to our body’s core wisdom and clarity.
I believe that you already have the clear sight, internal knowing, and resilience you need to navigate life’s most challenging experiences of illness, pain, and disability. I am here to help you access, deepen, and utilize those resources.
My mission is to be present beside those in darkness, walking alongside them and helping them take the next step forward.
