Everyone has a turning point in life, a moment when everything changes. Mine happened in March 2020, right in the middle of New York City, as the world was shutting down. I was among the first wave to contract Covid-19 and what followed was three years of relentless, unexplained symptoms that left me feeling nearly unrecognizable from the person I once was.

 

Each month seemed to bring a new challenge: from fevers, tremors and hair loss, to heart palpitations, severe fatigue and a cascade of autoimmune and neurological diagnoses. I saw 23 different specialists, endured countless tests and cycled through a pharmacy’s worth of medications.  None of which brought relief or answers. My world shrank as my health declined and I found myself in a dark place, desperate for hope.

 

The hardest part wasn’t just my own struggle, but watching my mom go through the same mysterious decline. It was a surprising twist to learn that our issues were genetically linked and that Covid-19 (and the vaccine) had just pushed our health over the edge. Since neither of us was well enough to work, most of our days were spent going to doctor appointments, comparing symptoms and chasing after “miracle” cures that never made a difference.

 

After years of searching, my functional medicine practitioner finally diagnosed me with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). The cost and complexity of treatment were overwhelming and traditional medicine didn’t have answers for this kind of condition. I felt stuck - until one day, I came across what I like to call a “divinely led” tweet about CIRS and peptide therapy from a practitioner based in the UAE. I’d never heard of peptides before, but I was willing to continue to try anything. That decision changed everything. Peptide therapy became the breakthrough I needed. As I started to get my health back, I became passionate about this emerging field.  I immersed myself in extensive research, learning from the podcasts, blogs and books of every peptide specialist, researcher and expert I could find. I eventually completed several advanced courses in peptide therapy—most notably with Dr. Seeds’ SSPR and A4M.  I also earned certifications in advanced wellness coaching and holistic nutrition.

 

My experience turned into a mission: to help others discover the potential benefits peptides can offer. Now, as an advanced wellness coach, I create personalized peptide wellness programs tailored to your unique goals. Whether you’re aiming to support overall wellness or looking to make small improvements: such as weight loss, anti-aging, enhancing body composition, or managing everyday aches and pains.  My programs are designed for everyone: from those facing ongoing health challenges to individuals seeking an extra edge in their wellness routine. Please note, these programs are not medical treatments and I encourage consulting with healthcare professionals for any medical concerns.

 

I understand firsthand what it’s like to feel lost and unheard. My experience gives me real empathy for my clients and my training equips me to guide you with care and expertise. If you’re ready to see how peptides and holistic wellness can help you reach your goals—big or small—I’m here to help.
