Rise And Thrive Coaching

Illness sucks — but it is also an opportunity. I have a chronic illness and chronic injuries. After spending a few years face down on my living room floor, I realized my relationship with myself and the world needed to change. I learned to recognize the way in which I was pushing away health and love and pushing my body way too hard. By not accepting my illness and forcing myself to do my life like I had been, I was actually harming myself. You can find your way back to yourself, back to a life you love. Rediscover the you that is still in there, celebrate yourself and your unique gifts. Your life will never look the same, but it can be even better. Transform your resistance, exhaustion, and struggle (that actually makes you more tired), into a pleasurable full life! I am not offering magical cures. Instead, I am offering the opportunity to know your illness and all of its pain, and simultaneously create an amazing life. What makes working with me different? We will not align your chakras, drink only green juice, think new-age positive thoughts, or do headstands on top of mountains at sunset. You are welcome here, exactly as you are. We will: Discover and transform the unconscious beliefs/habits that hold you back from healing Forge a new relationship with yourself and your body — so you can heal! Use body awareness to relieve pain Create a support network within your community and open channels to receive support and love (rather than feeling drained by contact) Build daily tools to work with your symptoms and develop the discipline to use them Discover gentle and pleasurable movement to regain a loving relationship with your body and increase mobility Structure your diet and explore nutritional support Discover how to talk to loved ones/colleagues/family about chronic conditions I have supported dozens of people suffering with chronic illness or injuries, who have struggled with anxiety, depression, isolation, pain, feeling stuck, feeling like they have lost their lives and the person they used to be.
