Certified Personal Medicine Coach

Looking back, I realize I discovered my own Personal Medicine long before I ever heard the term. Since the age of 19, I intuitively knew that lacing up my sneakers and going for a run was my anchor. Navigating the ups and downs of early life, going out for a run was exactly what kept me grounded and balanced. Decades later, when I first encountered Pat Deegan's Personal Medicine approach, everything clicked. I finally had a name for what had supported me for most of my life: the powerful truth that wellness comes not just from what we take, but from what we do. As an Expert by Experience, this realization completely transformed how I connect with others. My connection to this work is deeply rooted in my own journey, and it inspired me to help people discover their own inner resilience. For me, this work is about walking side-by-side with the individuals I serve, guiding them to realize that they have the power to actively manage and lead their own recovery.
