In 2016, I suffered a life-threatening post-surgical complication. Following 10 days in ICU, I was diagnosed with a life-altering chronic condition known as Hypoparathyroidism. I lost a significant amount of physical strength, and the process to recovery was slow. I needed weekly bloodwork to help balance my medications, went in and out of debilitating physical symptoms and was beginning to spiral toward anxiety and depression. 

I was active, energetic and always made calculated and conscious health choices. I had tons of experience and a thriving professional career in healthcare, but an undetected Vitamin D deficiency threatened the entire trajectory of my life.  

Fast forward, I have regained improved balance and control with my health. I understand the many challenges that come with maintaining a quality lifestyle while navigating a chronic health condition. It is NOT always easy. 

I started ETC to offer compassionate guidance, education and support to others managing a difficult health condition.  

I am a Certified Master Health Coach, with a Bachelor of Science in Health Services Coordination and Licensed Practical Nurse with more than 25 years experience in clinical health services and chronic disease management. In addition, I am a Diabetes Educator through the Association of Diabetes Education Specialists and a Certified Senior Fitness Specialist. 

When you join ETC, you can expect the highest quality of service, an unwavering commitment to empathetic care and a steadfast partner on your journey towards optimal health.
