Holistic Life Coach and My Mission to Help Others


I'm a holistic life coach and my mission is to help people who are struggling with post surgical pain. Dealing with pain can be incredibly tough, both physically and emotionally, and it's something that no one should have to go through alone. That's where I come in.

I am a spinal cord tumor survivor and understand the recovery of major life changing surgery all too well! It's so frustrating when you feel like no one is listening to you or believing what you're saying. It can make you want to scream! It's like your voice doesn't matter at all. And even worse, it feels like people think you're lying or making things up. That kind of disbelief can be really hurtful and make you doubt yourself. All you want is to be heard and have your words taken seriously. That is how I felt when I was recovering and no one wanted to help me with post-surgical pain. In my State of New Jersey, unless you have cancer or are on hospice, you will only get five days of pain medicine maximum prescribed and then you are on your own. I had a tumor removed from my spinal cord and laminectomies. I spent two days in the ICU, then an additional four days in the step down unit. I was still in major pain and I was on my own after those five days from being discharged from the hospital!

With the right support, guidance, and tools, you can manage your pain and live a more fulfilling life.

I use a combination of techniques to help my clients find relief from their pain, including mindfulness exercises, gentle movement, nutrition advice, and stress management strategies. Together, we'll work on building a plan that fits your unique needs and goals.

If you're ready to take control of your pain and start living the life you deserve, let's connect. I'm here for you every step of the way.

Treating Food as Medicine for Chronic Pain

  Are you tired of living with chronic pain? I know I was! I felt like no doctor was listening to my concerns and with the new opioid restrictions, the thought of relief was just a dream. Chronic pain can be debilitating and affect every aspect of your life.  Imagine being able to do the things you love without constant discomfort. Picture a life where you can focus on the things that matter the most to you. With the right approach and guidance, it's possible to reduce the impact of chronic pain on your daily life.  I have mentioned in my other posts, my doctors wanted me to take an insane amount of ibuprofen and acetaminophen on a daily basis. My main concern was that my liver and kidneys would be damaged and guess what? I would be in even more pain because lets get real, ibuprofen and acetaminophen do not take away chronic pain. I was also given gabapentin, which is a prescription drug used as an anticonvulsant. However, they are distributing this drug like tic-tacs for pain. For

Palmitoylethanolamide (Pea) for Pain and Inflammation

This is the one I purchased from Amazon People afflicted with fibromyalgia, low back pain, Osteoarthritis and other conditions may find relief by taking Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). As a proponent of experimentation in pain management approaches, I initiated an investigation into the effects of PEA to see if it can assist pain control. Doctor Forrest Tennant, an expert in this field who has developed a self-help protocol for Adhesive Arachnoiditis (AA), suggested the use of PEA. After extensive research, I found evidence indicating that PEA may be effective as part of a broader pain management strategy. I decided to give it a try considering there have been no major reported side effects besides nausea. Today is day one. I have decided to start with a low dose 300mg in the morning and 300 mg at night.  Check out this great article from iherb.com I have included some of the article below. It was truly a great read.  PEA Positive Clinical Benefits in Conditions Associated with Pain Low b
