Don’t worry, you’ll be in pain soon.” That’s how she replied when I said I didn’t feel any pain from my MS. What?! I had just led a workshop at the MS Society about how to lower stress and effectively use positive thinking. Everyone was very open and honest about their personal situation and […]
A Letter to My Past Self, on the Day of My MS Diagnosis
Hey girl, I know you’re scared. I know you feel pushed around by everyone telling you that your life has to change immediately. You’re angry at them for telling you everything you thought was ok yesterday is no longer ok today. As if suddenly they know you better than you know yourself. All because you […]
Life: Under New Management
I needed a mindset upgrade before I could reach the next level. My husband and I had the best waitress the other night. She was exactly what you want in a server – accommodating, generous, and personable. I said, “I bet the new management at this hotel is awesome – you can see their management […]

Read This When You Don’t Feel Normal
Read This When You Don’t Feel Normal In my early 20’s I was figuring out what my life was and what it could be. I was questioning my education going forward, my career and the death of someone very close to me. I was also still figuring out who I was as a person. But […]
Are You Worried About Being Selfish?
Selfish. For some of my clients, “selfish” is a four-letter word. In our first session together, I get a feel for my clients’ approach to rest and rejuvenation.

Body Talk 101
The idea of listening to my body used to annoy me more than anything. My body had not been kind to me. After a recent multiple sclerosis diagnosis, my body felt like a full-on alien. I had no idea what it was saying besides “f-you”. I couldn’t predict anything and if I tried, I was […]
