Practical Tips to Manage Stress


MSMonday: Practical Tips to Manage Stress This past year has been a DOOZY. We all had such high hopes for 2020, but alas, 2020 had other plans for itself. Staying home, businesses closed, limited interaction, the world as we knew it is drastically different now. And this can bring an intense feeling of anxiety, overwhelm, […]

5 Things You Can Do For Your Mental Health


5 Things You Can Do For Your Mental Health Since this is mental health awareness month, and my previous gig was a mental health therapist, I tend to care a lot about this topic. Unfortunately the term “mental health” gets a bad rap. People seem to be quite afraid of it and what it potentially […]

Surviving MRI’s and Other Life Stresses


If you’ve ever been so fortunate to visit the hospital for specialized testing, MRI/CAT scan/CT scan etc, you know it is not something to be thankful for. Hospitals can evoke extreme anxiety for many people, just by their atmosphere alone. Not to mention the reason for being there in the first place. I’ve had my […]

Disability is in the Eye of the Beholder


I filled out a job application the other day (just for a side gig, nothing big) and the question that is becoming ever more popular on applications these days popped up. ‘Are you Disabled?’ It went on to give some legal jargon about how they don’t discriminate and invite you to answer the question, however […]

Driving the Struggle Bus. How to be in Control of ‘Those Days’.


Some days you just don’t have it. Or at least I don’t have it. Some days it’s a struggle to find the motivation for most anything. Sunday day was one of Those Days. Those Days can happen for a multitude of reasons. When I’ve accepted it’s a Day, dissecting the reason behind becomes much easier. Sometimes […]

Paleo F(x) Part 2: Saturday


My recap continues with Saturday! Saturday started out with Mark Sisson (has anyone noticed he looks like Harrison Ford? Just me? K.)  He was discussing the research in his new book Primal Endurance, where he discusses a new training paradigm about how to train for endurance races/events while following a Paleo protocol and also discusses how to become […]

Today is March 1st. The entire month of March is MS awareness month. The week of March 7 is MS awareness week. It’s safe to say that MS is going to be all around for a little while. In the past I haven’t participated in these days, weeks or months very much. The most I have done […]

How to Let Go: A Story of Boxes in Basements


Ok. I’ll throw it out there. Le Hubby and I live with my parents. We have been for about 10 months. We would love to own a house in the NEAR future, so we had to make that decision in order to do so. It’s been interesting, to say the least, but overall a positive experience. […]

Your body functioning better so you feel better in 3 minutes? 

It sounds like a stupid infomercial BS claim I know and I roll my eyes every time I type it, but.. it’s kinda true? 

Idk, I’ll let you be the final judge

It’s an easy exercise with a silly name, but it actually packs a punch and can really change how you feel. 

Imagine measurably more energy and feeling more stable and balanced- and even improving a few MS symptoms here and there too?🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Your possibilities are endless!

Thankfully I haven’t heard any of these in a while.. maybe that means I’m getting my point across 🤷🏻‍♀️

But if you’re new here, I value holistic lifestyle medicine (snake oil 😂) but ALSO conventional medicine, I utilize it all after all. 

Yes, what we do as an individual matters for our health.
But so does the health systems we as individuals operate in.

Tomorrow is my MS-aversary, 16 years of having this disease. my newly diagnosed 24 year old self would be pretty shocked that I’m 40 (like in general lol) and also not in a wheelchair.

Here’s to many more years defying what I initially thought to be true about MS.

Comin with me? Hope so.

I’ve tripped a few times in the last few weeks.. nothing crazy, but I noticed.

And I noticed my thoughts… is this a “THING”??

Oh the constant wonderings of an MSer… 
is this a regular life occurrence?
Or is this a new symptom? 😂😂

When was the last time you had this thought process??

When you’re living with MS, it’s not that you don’t want to feel better…

It’s just that life keeps interrupting the plan.
Stress, symptoms, fatigue — they throw you off track.

That’s where support, structure, and accountability change everything.

That’s exactly what my membership is for.
✔️ Evidence-based strategies for MS
✔️ Real community and support
✔️ Gentle consistency that actually works

Only the waitlist is getting access as a Founding Member.

But seriously.. this isn’t too far off 😂

Life handed me a lemon that was a MS diagnosis at 24. 
Life handed me a lemon that was multiple relapses and MS progression by 30.

Then I snatched those lemons, made some healing lemonade, and feel night and day different than I did 10 years ago when my symptoms were at their worst. 

I could do it, my clients are doing it, I know you can too.

That’s why I’m so passionate about doing what I do. I know it’s possible for you to feel better in your body and be able to do the things you want to do. 

Like go for a walk or hike with your spouse, say yes to a spontaneous night out with friends or get up and down off the floor playing with your kids. 

That’s why I want to invite you to the waitlist for what I have coming.

Think, somewhere to go online, where you can: connect with others who have MS, get questions about MS answered, get tools that can help your symptoms, support & accountability to help with actually doing those things.

I have a saying about dealing with MS (and any other autoimmune/chronic illnesses) that inevitably comes up in my work with clients:
“You don’t get it, until you get it”

Meaning, you don’t understand living life with MS (or any of the above), until you live in a body that has it.

Which is why living with MS can be so tough and lonely, because its hard to find people that truly understand what you mean when you say you’re exhausted, or brain foggy or “fine”.

This is also why I believe that having a community of others who get it is invaluable.

I’ve seen countless times over where someone new to one of my groups is able to feel fully seen and heard for the first time, and that is priceless for them and their healing.

They walk away feeling validated, understood and at home, which are hard to come by at the doctors office 😂🙄

You’re not too much
You’re not alone
You’re not lazy
You’re just talking to the wrong people.

If you wanna talk to the right people, I’m creating something for you..

Think, somewhere to go online, where you can: connect with others who have MS, get questions about MS answered, get tools that can help your symptoms, support & accountability to help with actually doing those things.. 

BUT- only the waitlist is going to hear about it. So- if you want to be notified and involved in creating whats coming, comment WAITLIST and you’re in
