Love and Light Wellness
About
I found my way into this work the same way many people with EDS do—by necessity. After navigating multiple chronic illness diagnoses in my early twenties, including Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, POTS, and MCAS, I turned to mindfulness, yoga, and nervous-system-supportive practices to make sense of my experience. I know firsthand what it’s like to live in a body that requires creativity, pacing, and constant problem-solving. And I also know the incredible joy that can come from finding strategies, movements, and routines that actually help and don’t make you flare for three days. Today, I blend lived experience with training as a hypermobility-aware yoga instructor, Nationally Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, and meditation mentor. My approach is compassionate, practical, and built around the understanding that our spoons are limited—but our potential for meaningful change isn’t. What I Offer [💬 Free 30-minute Consultations](https://calendly.com/loveandlightwellnessvt/30min) A chance for us to meet, talk through your goals, and see what kind of support would feel most helpful. [🧭 Patient Empowerment Coaching](https://www.loveandlightwellnessvt.com/patient-empowerment-coaching) Patient Empowerment Coaching is for anyone who: Is trying to get diagnosed with a primary or secondary condition Just received a diagnosis and has no idea what to do next Feels stuck, dismissed, or overwhelmed in medical settings Needs a roadmap for navigating complex chronic illness care Wants guidance from someone who actually lives with hEDS, POTS, and MCAS Finally getting answers about your health can be life-changing. But answers without direction can leave you just as lost. My job is to help you: Understand what your diagnoses actually mean Build a realistic care plan that fits your energy and symptoms Identify the right providers (locally or virtually) Prepare for appointments and advocate for your needs Cut through the noise, referrals, gatekeeping, and endless waitlists Feel grounded, informed, and supported—every step of the way No more waiting six months to see a specialist only to hear, “I don’t treat that,” or “You need another referral.” (What do some of them even specialize in—referrals? Yeah… we’re not doing that.) My Approach Living with EDS is complex. I won’t ever tell you to “push through” or “just try harder.” I believe in: Pacing and energy conservation Respecting your body’s limits Creating routines that are realistic, flexible, and supportive Small steps with big impact Honoring your lived experience You deserve care that understands chronic illness from the inside out. I’ve got you. Let’s do this—together.
