My Why, My Motivator

I care deeply about connecting people with chronic and mental health conditions to products that genuinely support their wellbeing. I know firsthand what it’s like to find a product that changes the game for your health.

I also hear every day from clients in my coaching practice and individuals in my Instagram community about the gap between what they need to support themselves and what’s offered through traditional healthcare.

My work sits in that gap, supporting the connection between thoughtful products and the people they’re actually meant to serve.
