I help people reconnect to what matters most by learning to listen to their bodies before, or after, life demands it.

For decades, I lived with what doctors called “mysterious symptoms.” In reality, my body was speaking to me in the only language it could: discomfort, irregular rhythms, fatigue that wouldn’t go away. Through Chinese medicine, nervous system practices, and a commitment to keep exploring, I learned to respond instead of react.

Eventually, an alert on my Apple Watch revealed what had been hidden all along: undiagnosed heart and liver disease. What could have been a crisis felt instead like a natural next step in a long conversation with my body. Surgery was the final chapter of that story, not the beginning. And six months later, I ran a mountain half-marathon I’d always dreamed about but never attempted.

That experience didn’t shake me. It clarified me. It reminded me that health isn’t just about managing symptoms or preventing disease. It’s about building the practices and perspectives that let us face anything with steadiness and a sense of possibility.

I call this orientation the Joyful Rebellion: the choice to stop performing and start listening, to turn toward what’s real rather than numbing out or overriding our instincts.

In my work, I blend Chinese medicine, herbal therapeutics, nervous system coaching, and decades of experience helping high achievers, creatives, and people navigating chronic health challenges. Sometimes we work on mindset. Sometimes physiology. Usually both. Because real change doesn’t happen in theory. It happens in the body.

If you’re curious about what your own symptoms might be trying to tell you or what might be possible if you finally listened, I’d love to connect.
