Lyme Disease Awareness Month and MORE!

Lyme Disease Awareness Month and MORE!
May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month, a time dedicated to educating the public about Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses that affect so many lives each year. Lyme disease, caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and transmitted through the bite of infected ticks, calls for increased vigilance as we spend more time outdoors during the warmer months, not to mention all the other tick-borne illnesses that can come along with ANY tick bite. Early detection and treatment are crucial to preventing long-term complications, making education and awareness invaluable tools in combating this condition.

As a holistic nurse coach specializing in Lyme disease and Zyto scanning, I'm passionate about providing not only your care but also educating and empowering those affected by Lyme. This summer, I'm excited to offer a series of FREE in-person events in the Central PA area designed to illuminate the path to health and wellness for individuals and families navigating Lyme disease. Keep reading for all the info!

You Aren't Broken - How to Love Yourself While Healing in 3 Simple Mindset Shifts

I’ll never stop saying it - our mind is a powerful healing tool. With practice, what may seem hard, foreign, or impossible does, in fact, become easier and impactful. And it DOES, with consistent practice, move the needle on our healing.

Mindset starts with how we view ourselves. And this is often the hardest layer to face. But it's necessary to shine love onto our being in order to heal that same being. We ARE love, after all. 

Read on for my 3 specific thoughts on loving yourself while healing.

Group Coaching and Giving Back

Group Coaching and Giving Back
Navigating chronic illness, Lyme disease, autoimmune - it’s HARD. It’s exhausting, draining, and often time consuming and expensive. I know because I’ve been walking this journey myself for more than half my life. And I KNOW it could have gone differently (cheaper, faster, more productive overall) if myself and my support system (namely my sweet mama) had had more guidance and knowledge along the way.  Click to read more about what I'm doing to give back and fulfill my purpose in the healing community.

Meet Adele

 
          Half my lifetime ago I was expecting to be permanently disabled or even dead at a young age unless I found a way back to hope and health. As a result of a mystery illness, I was nearly bed-ridden as a teenager. Sometimes I had to CRAWL up the 7 steps to my bedroom to get to bed because I couldn’t walk that far. I HAD to nap every single day. I was in *constant* burning, aching pain throughout my body and experienced exhaustion and brain fog so bad I could barely communicate. I had quit all sports, babysitting and other jobs. My ambitions, successes, sense of self, and LIFE were slipping through my fingers. I had been misdiagnosed with autoimmune conditions for years only to finally discover that Lyme disease and co-infections were the primary culprit of my medical mysteries. At the time of my diagnosis, I was spiraling into depression, helplessness, and hopelessness.  I had no idea where this journey would take me, but I could not see a light at the end of it, and that was just plain scary.
 
          My mom took me to many doctors, but none specialized in Lyme and tick borne illnesses. They all treated the symptoms I was having as best as they could, but I was still getting slowly worse, or having side effects from medications I was being put on. So my mom and I sought alternative options out of desperation. Homeopathy, diet changes, proper supplements, and rest finally started to lead me into healing and the fog started to lift. During that time, myofascial release from a certified massage therapist was one of the most helpful modalities I tried. She used essential oils too, and that was officially my first introduction to their power. All of these alternative options helped me survive, start to thrive, and begin the next leg of my journey: becoming a nurse. I thrived in a career that combined science, research, and helping others through their suffering and health goals. In my young adult years, I finally had the opportunity to continue my treatment and health journey with a Lyme specialist, which has helped me heal more fully than I ever would have thought possible 10yrs ago. 

          I knew that as I got married, started a family, and was working on healing my body, I had some big goals: 1) to be there for my family and to be able to care for them fully and 2) to have a non-toxic home and life in order to live our best lives. My cousin shared with me some of her journey, which had similarities to my own. She was using some things I was already curious about, including essential oils and specialized supplements. I was HOOKED after the first sample I tried! I could now clearly visualize the next steps of my healing journey - hope had returned!
              
          Now, I have endless hope. I can LIVE LIFE. This is the healthiest I’ve truly been since about age 14 and I’m thriving! I’ve been able to advocate for my own 4 babies, 3 of whom have ended up with Lyme too. I’m dedicated to using my nursing background and love of education in combination with appreciation for functional medicine and alternative therapies to help everyone I can. My hope is renewed. I am empowered and equipped. I’m enjoying and embracing the journey and want to help YOU to be able to have all of that too!

          If you're ready to link arms with me and walk this journey together, please reach out! I'd LOVE to hear from you!
