A teacher, Master Empowerment Coach, Personal Trainer, and a new co-author of a best selling book "Simply Woman... Stories from 30 magnificent women who have risen against the odds". I live with a chronic illness and I know first hand what it means to spend most of your life dealing with hospital visits, medical procedures, medication management, doctor interactions, and navigating the ups and downs of a chronic illness.

 I have been living with a blood disorder since I was born and have needed blood transfusions every 3 weeks. It has taken me time to come up with a process to increase my quality of life which includes having increased energy, a love for life, a reduction in medication, and  a whole newfound love and respect for the person I am today. I want to share these secrets with you so that you can live your most empowered and happy life. 

​

My recent experience in writing my chapter called, "Blood and Independence" in the best-selling book mentioned above has allowed me to own my story on a deeper level. I realized that sharing my story can be used to inspire other women. In my chapter, I talk about growing up with a chronic medical condition and how my fierce independence has led me to beat the odds against doctors' diagnosis and prognosis from since I was born. People living with chronic medical conditions don't have to live a boxed up life that is determined by prescription drugs and societal's opinions and views of their capabilities and contributions. We have the power to take control of our health and our lives.
