Chronic Illness Healing Resource Hub

Welcome to your one-stop guide for chronic illness healing resources, education, support, and tools.

This page was created for women navigating Lipedema, MCAS, ME/CFS, EDS, POTS, chronic pain, fatigue, nervous system overwhelm, and the deep exhaustion of trying to figure everything out alone.

Whether you are newly diagnosed, still searching for answers, or deep in your healing path, these resources are here to help you feel more informed, more supported, and less alone.

A gentle note: These links are shared for education and support. Nothing here is medical advice, and not every tool is right for every body. Please move slowly, listen to your body, and check with your qualified healthcare provider when needed.

This work is personal

I live with lipedema, ME/CFS, POTS, hEDS, MCAS, and chronic pain — so I know what it feels like to live in a body that is often misunderstood, dismissed, or asked to push harder when it actually needs safety, support, and compassion.

I’m also a Pilates teacher with more than 25 years of experience, a movement mentor, and a Dance Movement Psychotherapist with a background in PTSD and somatic healing.

Over the years, both personally and professionally, I’ve come to believe this:

If I had someone who could help me understand my body sooner — someone who could explain what was happening without shame, fear, or force — I would have wanted movement that felt gentle, intelligent, and safe.

That is why I created this work.

Through Dear Body, I’m Listening, Chronic Pilates, and my healing resources, I support women with chronic illness in rebuilding trust with their bodies through nervous-system-aware movement, body literacy, honest conversations, and compassion-led guidance.

You do not need to push harder to prove you’re healing.

You deserve support that honors your body, your pace, your capacity, and your truth.
