About Me
In 2025, I founded the Thrive-Together-Network to empower individuals navigating new and challenging medical diagnoses, along with the loved ones who support them. Through workshops and community-based health transformation coaching, I am dedicated to helping those motivated to thrive achieve their fullest potential.
My journey began as a driven educational leader, but life took an unexpected turn when my career was suddenly disrupted. I faced immense grief, and my old survival strategies ceased to work. My body bore the brunt of it all, manifesting severe, complex symptoms, including daily seizures lasting up to 30 minutes and multiple episodes each day. In February 2021, after being admitted to a seizure investigation unit, I received a diagnosis of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). This clarity marked a pivotal turning point in my life.
Embracing this new understanding, I sought help and prioritized my health, working diligently on emotional, physical, spiritual, and relational aspects of my life. I realized that I am worthy of support and began speaking transparently about my whole-person health, embracing compassion for my imperfections. Each day varies—some smooth, some challenging—but I now live joyfully with gratitude, minimal functional symptoms, and a renewed career that I love.
