My Story
I received my National Board of Occupational Therapy certification in 2003 and have worked as an Occupational Therapist for over 20 years. I have an extensive background working with those that have acute and chronic neurological impairment, chronic inflammatory disease, and chronic pain and while going through my own inner healing journey, became a Holy Fire III Reiki Master Practitioner in 2022.
​
I struggled with severe chronic pain and undiagnosed endometriosis for over 15 years and finally got an official diagnosis Sept 2019. I have always been extremely active, but have struggled with balancing exercise intensity, stress levels, hormones, and chronic pain.
I have learned healthy coping strategies and learned how to work through feelings and unresolved emotions, unresolved life trauma, low self-esteem, low self-worth, body image issues, and anxiety. I can relate to what it is like to live with these challenges as well as live with a chronic painful inflammatory disease. I know the pain of multiple surgeries, and I know the pain and emotional toll of what having a reoccurring chronic condition can do to not only the body but the mind.
I have lived through these things and continue to learn ways to manage my own inflammation, stress and modify my exercise regimen while working on not only healing my physical body, but soul as well.
My desire is to help you also on your healing and wellness journey.
