Endometriosis and me

For 31 years, I have been a warrior against endometriosis. This disease has profoundly impacted my life, career, relationships, and confidence. Since the age of 13, I found myself sidelined from many activities my peers enjoyed, as my life became centered around managing pain and being housebound.

My journey mirrors that of many others with endometriosis: being ignored by medical professionals, gaslit about my own body, and told that I was imagining my symptoms. Sadly, this is a common experience, with statistics showing that 78% of women with endometriosis are told they are fabricating their illness and pain.

Despite chronic pain that restricted my ability to go out, walk, and fully live, I refused to let it stop me. I channeled my energy into learning and self-growth. Fast forward 19 years, and here I am, having made the choices necessary to live my life fully, rather than merely observing others. I moved across the country on my own and started a new life by the beach. Some might call it luck, but it was my deliberate actions and choices that brought me here.

I practice Positive Psychology daily. I harness my strengths, cultivate resilience, and ensure that I am prepared to face challenges head-on. Now, I am dedicated to supporting others with endometriosis, helping them to grow, live, and thrive despite their chronic illness.

When you work with me, you’re partnering with someone who truly understands the journey and lives in alignment with my 'why,' strengths, and values. Together, we will work to empower you to become the person you aspire to be, living the life you choose.
