How do we recover from ME/CFS?
Firstly, I want to clarify that there is no going back to the life we had. ME/CFS is a line in the sand between the old way and new way. We are working towards the new way, and will likely always be in harmony with our bodies in a way that is different than before. I like to say I’m “in recovery” from ME/CFS because I know I need to listen to and respect my body more than I did before I got sick. My recovery from ME/CFS is building back into a life that won’t get me sick again.
There is no recovery formula that works for every person. No one’s experience of ME/CFS is exactly the same, and we all have different responses to therapies.
That said, my experience and so many others’ experience of recovery includes ending the push-crash cycle and slowly and safely expanding our baseline. Even if a cure for ME/CFS is discovered, I know this work will still be vital for all of us to continue.
I also invite my clients to consider the possibility of your recovery - what that looks and feels like - so you have faith in what you’re working towards.
Lastly, there are often unconscious patterns that can in the way of your recovery. This is why it’s important to work with a trained somatic coach like myself who can help you unlock and learn from those blind spots and triggers as they come up in our work together.

My promise to you
Integrity
I value honesty, equality and collaboration. I am a co-creator with you and will honor your values, intuition and needs as a coach should. I am not a medical professional or licensed mental health professional and will let you know if anything is outside the scope of my training.
I celebrate the diversity of gender expressions, sexual orientations, abilities, brains, cultures, ethnicities, heritages, skin pigments, religions, spiritual practices and all forms of expression that inform our humanity.
I honor and pay my respect to the Indigenous elders past and present and their wisdom that has cared for and preserved the land I live and work on (non-ceded treaty Dakota land).
Compassion
The investment of your time, your resources, your intention and your willingness to be seen, heard and loved is something I feel honored to hold and nurture. My training is trauma-informed and sensitive to all the ways human beings suffer. I am committed to creating safe containers that are healing and nurturing.
The only way forward, truly, is through compassion and love.
Value
It takes a lot of courage to do this work, and it takes a commitment. My promise to you is to offer individualized, high-quality coaching that integrates all levels of knowing - somatic, cognitive, spiritual and emotional - so you not only have the information and tools you need to heal, you also can embody and default to the new habits you choose for yourself.
There are no other coaching programs that I know of that offer this much individual coaching support and 24/7 chat and voice support. Please let me know if your financial situation is a barrier to care as there are a limited amount of sliding scale packages available.
