They told me I'd never walk again... I proved them wrong.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, misunderstood, or like you were screaming into a void just to get someone—anyone—to believe you…
I know that feeling. I’ve lived that fight.
​
I know what it’s like to feel your body betray you, to sit across from doctors who talk at you instead of to you.
I know what it’s like to second-guess yourself because they make you feel like maybe—just maybe—you are crazy.
​
You’re not. And you don’t have to go through this alone.
I See You—Because I’ve Been There.
It’s not just the symptoms—it’s everything they take from you. Your independence. Your confidence. Your sense of control.
​
I remember sitting in another cold, fluorescent-lit office, trying to explain how my body felt like it wasn’t mine anymore. The doctor barely looked up as he told me, flatly, that I’d never walk again. Another told me it was all in my head. Someone else told me I was dying.
​
​The contradictions would’ve been funny if they weren’t my life. I was just a kid, but I felt ancient.
Trapped. Isolated.
​
I missed everything—the dances, the school trips, the stupid little moments that everyone else took for granted. I watched life keep moving like I was never part of it. And I started to wonder if maybe I never would be again.
​If you’ve ever felt that same doubt creeping in, hear me when I say:
You’re not broken.
You’re not imagining this.
And you are so much more than what’s happening to you.
Why I Created My Lyme Coach
Lyme disease doesn’t just live in your body—it infiltrates every part of your life. It rewires how people see you, how you see yourself. It makes the simplest things—walking across a room, making plans without fear, just existing—feel impossible.
​
I know what it’s like to feel invisible in a crowded room.
To hear people say, “You don’t look sick,” as if that means you’re fine. To sit on the sidelines of your own life while the world moves on without you.
​I didn’t need someone to try to fix me.
I didn’t need false hope.
I didn’t need pity.
​
I needed someone who could look me in the eye and say:
"I believe you. I see you. And even when you feel lost, you are still you."
​
That person didn’t exist. So I became her.
​
I created My Lyme Coach because I know how lonely, frustrating, and terrifying this journey can be. Because I don’t want you to sit in that same isolation, feeling like no one understands.
​
Healing isn’t just about test results or treatment plans. It’s about rediscovering yourself.
Reclaiming the pieces of your life that this disease tried to take from you.
And you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
Let’s Rewrite Your Story—Together
I’m not here to tell you everything will magically go back to the way it was before. It won’t.
​
But that doesn’t mean there’s no future. Healing isn’t about going backward—it’s about learning how to move forward, even when everything has changed.​ Some days, progress looks like getting out of bed. Other days, it looks like saying no to things that drain you.
It’s messy. It’s frustrating. It’s hard as hell.
But it’s not hopeless.
​
I don’t have all the answers. But I know what it’s like to be in the thick of it. And I know that having someone beside you—someone who gets it—can change everything.
​I’m not here to fix you. You are not broken.
I’m here to help you take back what’s yours.
