Equestrian & Chronic Illness Mindset Coach

Certified Western Equestrian Coach | Chronic Illness Warrior

I write about the messy, real process of reclaiming your life after chronic illness. And I want to help you reclaim that part of you that chronic illness tried to steal. Through real examples, actionable strategies, and working within your limits, I want to show you it is possible to find that zest for life you've been missing.

After spending 7 years battling Ménière's Disease and related invisible health challenges, I know what it's like to feel like chronic illness has stolen your identity. I went from being an active cowgirl to someone who couldn't get out of bed for days. But I also know what it's like to make a come back. To rebuild your life with chronic illness baked in and thrive.

What I Write About

The Gap Between Surviving and Living:

At some point you have to start thinking beyond dragging your body from point A to point B. If you're here, you're probably already thinking about how to start taking active steps in your life. Through my blog and digital products, I help you explore the space between your limitations and your spirit.

 

For Equestrians with Chronic Illness:

I share strategies for safely returning to horses after health setbacks, how to create sustainable goals that work with unpredictable energy, and manage the mental game when your brain is already working overtime.

 

For Anyone Ready to Reclaim their Spark:

I document what it looks like to pursue dreams with a body that doesn't cooperated on a schedule. From working with unpredictable energy to redefining what strong and resilient mean. I aim to inspire, motivate, and change your mindset on your own limitations.

My Approach

This isn't about toxic positivity or pushing through pain. It's about honest, practical strategies for working with your chronic illness instead of against it. It's an honest, practical exploration of what happens when you refuse to stay down. I share the tools I'm using, adaptations I'm making, and the moments when everything falls apart—because that's where the real learning happens.

 

Whether you're dreaming of getting back to horses, or starting that creative project, or simply wanting to feel like yourself again—I want to help you find that roadmap you need to bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be.

Currently embarking on my own wild adventure: learning moutned archery with a broken balance system. Follow along as I prove that chronically ill doesn't mean dreams have to die... They just might look different than we originally planned.
