I understand how stress, anxiety, pain, and chronic illness can erode self-confidence, self-worth, and self-esteem, leaving you feeling lost and hopeless. My mission now is to help others who, like me, have faced physical and mental health challenges to thrive despite their obstacles.

As children, we are incredibly resilient, but life's experiences often change our thinking. Despite my pain, I enjoyed typical teenage activities, but over time, my anxiety worsened, and everything felt like a threat. In my 40s, I was diagnosed with a potentially life-limiting autoimmune condition, which led to a year of catastrophic thinking and fear.

Thankfully, with some luck and nurturing, my resilience resurfaced. I began with small acts of defiance, like meditation and stretching each morning, which helped me stay calm throughout the day.
