I went through hell, but I healed.
I know how hard it is, and it is my passion to help others get better, too.
When I became sick with ME/CFS in 2018, I not only had to navigate through the horrific symptoms and limitations of the illness itself, I was also struggling to make ends meet as a single mom of two young kids. I then developed long COVID in 2022 and my ME/CFS became significantly worse. I could not work or leave the apartment at all. My illness was so severe I couldn’t speak to my kids some days. I tried every supplement, protocol and therapy I could find, but nothing brought lasting relief. The suffering was difficult to endure, but the losses were soul-crushing. For years I watched my kids leave for their games, lessons and concerts without me.
My lasting recovery began in January of 2024 and, over the next two years, my life completely transformed. I now wake up early, go for a run or walk, work most of the day and still have energy to be present with my now-teenagers at all their activities and events. It feels unbelievable and I am grateful for every single minute I get to experience life feeling healthy again.
I didn’t get here because of one magical therapy or treatment. It was not a clean, linear process and it was often confusing and frustrating. It was the coaches, community and support that really encouraged me to keep going. Who I had in my life was more important than what I did. I decided pretty quickly on that I wanted to use everything I’d learned to help others heal from ME/CFS and long COVID as well and became a certified Sacred Depths coach practitioner.
“Who I had in my life was more important than what I did.”
We are not meant to heal alone, and, while every person’s timeline is different, working with a private coach who is with you every step of the way is the most effective way to achieve the results you want for yourself.
It is possible for you to enjoy your life again.
-Restful sleep
-No symptoms
-Strength and stamina for what you love
The goal is not to just have a few moments every day where you feel well enough to get a few things done.
The goal is to be able to fully live your life - to have the energy for the work you really love, to have the stamina to be with your kids or loved ones, and to feel resourced enough to do activities that bring you joy.
The goal is to be and feel your best.
How do we do it?
There is no formula that works for every person. No one’s experience of ME/CFS is exactly the same, and we all have different responses to therapies and individual timelines for our healing.
That said, I use this 3-part strategy as a guide for my clients:
Body Wisdom
-End the push-crash cycle
-Experience restful sleep
-Keep strong boundaries and prioritize your healing
-Nest into a healing state
-Find safety and trust within yourself
Mindset
-Uncover and heal unconscious beliefs and stories that hold you back
-Express yourself
-Choose the thoughts, beliefs and behaviors that will move you forwards
Activity
-Slowly and safely build your physical and cognitive capacity
-Do what you love and energizes you
-Energy follows energy

My promise to you
Integrity
I value honesty, equality and collaboration. I am a co-creator with you and will honor your values, intuition and needs as a coach should. I am not a medical professional or licensed mental health professional and will let you know if anything is outside the scope of my training.
I celebrate the diversity of gender expressions, sexual orientations, abilities, brains, cultures, ethnicities, heritages, skin pigments, religions, spiritual practices and all forms of expression that inform our humanity.
I honor and pay my respect to the Indigenous elders past and present and their wisdom that has cared for and preserved the land I live and work on (non-ceded treaty Dakota land).
Compassion
The investment of your time, your resources, your intention and your willingness to be seen, heard and loved is something I feel honored to hold and nurture. My training is trauma-informed and sensitive to all the ways human beings suffer. I am committed to creating safe containers that are healing and nurturing.
The only way forward, truly, is through compassion and love.
Value
It takes a lot of courage to do this work, and it takes a commitment. My promise to you is to offer individualized, high-quality coaching that integrates all levels of knowing - somatic, cognitive, spiritual and emotional - so you not only have the information and tools you need, you also can embody and default to the new patterns and energetics you choose for yourself.
There are no other coaching programs that I know of that offer this much individual coaching support and 24/7 support. Please let me know if your financial situation is a barrier to care as there are a limited amount of sliding scale packages available.
