It's really difficult for me to begin writing this.


For those of you who have followed my story for a while, you will know over the years I have experienced ongoingly chronic Lyme disease.  The impact of this on my body has been escalating recently and I’ve been experiencing  toxic overload, hypoperfusion (lack of blood flow to the brain), cognitive disruptions and other factors related to Lyme disease making it difficult to do tasks that were once quite easy for me.


Our goal is to raise funds to begin my treatment April 1st. 

A group of friends and I dove into research to find the top innovative clinics that specialize only in difficult-to-solve cases such as my own. After many calls and conversations, it left us with a collective decision that the Biologix clinic in Nashville TN would be the place to immerse me completely in medical care. 






For me to be well I need to go into treatment quickly. Any form of treatment for Chronic Lyme is no easy fix or simple. You see, it comes often with many co-infections, hiding in the body & masking itself in many ways.  When it lives in the body for a long time it also causes damage to the tissues and organs themselves. This means leaving no rock unturned in the treatments. 


To pursue treatment, I need monetary resources, physical assistance with grassroots organizations, moving, and a stable and safe place within 30 minutes of Nashville to go through treatment at an innovative clinic and recover.


This treatment is not covered by medical insurance due to the current lack of understanding of chronic Lyme disease. Treatment is also requiring me to take possibly 3 months off from most work. 


This is why I am asking for your help! I can't go on in this way and it is time for me to have a place to rest, get proper care and rebuild so I can return in 2022 in greater service to my clients, my life's purpose, my work, and my life. 


This experience has humbled me greatly. But it has also given me the gift of sharing more vulnerable parts of myself and asking for your help. I find most experiences in life to teach me something and I have been looking for the gifts in this extended situation, reaching for gratitude, meaning and the resilience to surmount this with grace.  

While I have the ability and it is my nature to see spiritual and personal discovery amidst each challenge, this one is bringing me to my knees! 


For over 20 years my body and its challenges have been a mysterious wonder to many health practitioners which has made them difficult to treat. With my nature to push through and be resourceful, I have accustomed myself to living with a lot. I continuously get comments like "you look amazing!" One of the biggest challenges of Lyme Disease is that it is a hidden condition.  

Giving my gifts to the world through workshops and writing and intimacy coaching is inspiring and challenging, and I have been quietly becoming more and more unwell while also pursuing my dreams.  I am proud that I have been able to offer as much to the world as I can while this illness has been taking up more and more space, even while I’m invisibly working against a silent illness that has hurt my body and impaired my mind more and more.  

I am at a point where the difficulty of being ill is becoming greater than my ability to push through it, and if I am going to keep giving my gifts to the world I need to focus on getting well.


Today in 2022, it has come to my realization that my resourcefulness is lessening. I have had to be radically creative with how I live, how I structure my day, where I place my body, what I put into my body. I can’t go into homes as easily or store’s because any chemical or unseen element can set up symptoms that leave me and my brain debilitated.  Some Days it is difficult for me to make a decision if presented with a choice, there is a brain overwhelm that keeps me frozen in time, unable to reach out or go out when all I want is to be held and comforted. 


Daily I am navigating the world in such a rigid way only so I may feel somewhat well and make it through my day. Keeping this rigidity is now even too exhausting for my body. Lyme disease is only encouraging more isolation due to the exhaustion I feel at the end of my day.


Being in restaurants or public environments with many conversations happening or noise is impossible. Sometimes cultivating intimate friendships can be challenging because what is considered normal social activity and even asking for connection requires energy that I don’t have. 


I have spent years trying to get answers, bouncing from doctor to doctor, only for their treatments to empty my bank without any change in my condition. During this time I tried countless medical treatments, alternative health practitioners, spiritual healing practices, and thousands of supplements, but the stress of the Lyme condition only seems to be more difficult to live! With each treatment that failed, I could feel my hope and resourcefulness lesson. 


I have a fairly serious health condition. I feel each day I am losing a part of myself and feel scared and hopeless at times. It is a dance of surrender, one holding incredible uncertainty for the future, and that challenges my entire identity to date. The daily burning in my body, cognitive slowdown, hypoperfusion (lack of blood flow) to my brain, chronic inflammation, limited foods that my body can consume without experiencing some difficulty and discomfort.  It is exhausting at times to navigate conversations, and to do a lot of what it takes to keep a business organized and afloat.  


Somedays leave me frozen in a ball of confusion, unable to make basic life decisions due to the stress overload on my body. At other times, I am intensely emotional because my system is signaling to me it is in an emergency state yet no remedy has alleviated its panic.  This control and rigid life I have had to live are reaching ultra-high levels of exhaustion and stress that I can no longer keep up with life. Lyme as well feeds off of stress so it has been one vicious never-ending cycle. 


After treatment my deepest wish is to take the energy I currently spend staying functional and coping with my illness, and turning it towards stepping even further into my work.  I welcome returning back home thriving and well to live my dharmic path and be more of service on this planet which is my deepest heart call. 


I am urgently reaching out to ask for your help.  After much soul-searching, I have realized that I am not alone and that this is the time to ask for help.  If there is any way you might consider in your heart to help with a monetary donation please, it would mean the world to me.
