From the time I was a little I always had a fascination with the human body. At age 15 I began to study nutrition, and in my 20s I started to explore fitness outside of youth sports.

Then, in 2011 I was diagnosed with a connective tissue disorder called Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I was told at 28 years old that I needed neck surgery to fuse my slowly deteriorating joints together, that I shouldn't ever get pregnant because I could end up paralyzed, and that I would end up in a wheelchair due to the progressive nature of the disorder. Now, at 41 years old, none of that has happened.

I've spent the last decade+ deep diving into chronic illness, and how to prevent my symptoms from getting worse. In 2020 I became a Certified Meditation Teacher, and in 2023 I decided to broaden my wellness certifications by becoming a Certified Personal Trainer and a Certified Nutrition Coach. Now I'm on a mission to share what I've learned with the world and help as many people as I can.
