How Chronic Illness Made Me Discover an Unexpected Path to Success
How a Lyme diagnosis and a burnout pivot led me to a new kind of healing
I never expected to leave the therapy room. Helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, and burnout felt deeply meaningful—sacred, even. It was work I loved. But over time, something started to shift.
Clients were showing up with more than emotional pain. They were exhausted. Sick. Unfulfilled. Often, they felt like their bodies were breaking down at the same pace as their nervous systems.
And no matter how many cognitive tools we used, something was missing.
That’s when I started looking beyond traditional mental health models. I began exploring nutrition, mindfulness, somatic work, and holistic care. I realized that healing wasn’t only about the mind. It was about the whole person.
The Turning Point: My Own Healing Crisis
Then my own health hit a wall.
I spent months visiting doctors for vague symptoms—fatigue, brain fog, inflammation. I kept walking away with more prescriptions and no real answers. It was frustrating. Defeating. I knew something deeper was going on, but no one seemed to be asking the right questions.
It wasn’t until I saw a naturopath that someone finally did.
After one thorough intake and some honest curiosity, he tested me for Lyme disease. And there it was. The root cause my other doctors had missed. That experience changed everything.
Not only because I finally had a diagnosis, but because I finally felt heard.
It deepened my belief in holistic, patient-centered care. And it planted the seed for what would become my next career path.
Why I Chose Copywriting
I didn’t stop believing in the power of healing. But I knew I wanted to reach more people—and I wanted to do it in a way that felt aligned with my evolving values.
So I took my background in psychology and my passion for integrative wellness and started writing. I wrote for naturopaths, functional MDs, health coaches, and wellness brands. I studied voice, SEO, conversion psychology, and ethical marketing. I started helping other practitioners tell their story. With clarity and confidence, and without sounding like a sales robot.
It felt natural. Purposeful. Right.
The Work I Do Today
Now I write copy for wellness brands and conscious businesses who want to grow with integrity. From website copy and blog content to email sequences and lead magnets, I help practitioners like you:
Clarify your message
Reflect your values
Connect with the right people
Grow without compromising your mission
My mission is simple: to help spread healing—through words.
