From Patient to Practitioner
The last few years have asked more of me than any others. My path to this work began as a patient — years of being passed from specialist to specialist, test after test, medication after medication, searching for answers that never quite came. Along the way I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hypermobility spectrum disorder, anxiety, OCD, and ADHD, though the diagnoses only tell part of the story. By 2023 my resting heart rate was reaching 130 bpm, and sleep had all but disappeared. By 2024, with my tests inconclusive and my providers out of ideas, I spent most of the year bedridden.
That's when I stopped waiting for answers and started seeking them. The holistic path is what finally moved the needle — and the practitioners who walked it with me changed the course of my life. At the end of 2024, things turned: I joined Hands on Health here in New Orleans, and began building an independent practice alongside it. The transition from patient to practitioner is one I don't take for granted, and it informs every session I hold.
While I was still in bed, I made myself a promise: that I would do everything in my power to help people navigating something like what I went through — or worse. That promise is now the center of my work. Whether it's depression that's drained the joy from your days, anxiety that makes small decisions feel enormous, compulsions that keep you circling the same room, racing thoughts that steal your sleep, pain or fear of movement that's shrunk your world, or simply a sense of imbalance you can't put words to — wherever you are in your journey, I'm here to support you, care for you, see you, and love you.
