What I experienced ultimately changed the direction of my life.

I became a Shoemaker-Trained Health Coach because I wanted to take what I had learned through my own journey, education, and professional training and use it to help others feel more informed, supported, and empowered as they navigate their own path.

But for me, this work extends beyond health coaching.

I became an advocate for the CIRS community because greater education and awareness are still needed. Many individuals spend months or even years searching for answers, moving from provider to provider, and trying to make sense of complex information on their own.

That is why I continue to raise awareness about CIRS, environmental exposures, mold and water-damaged buildings, patient experiences, available resources, and the importance of becoming educated and actively involved in your own journey.

Through CIRS Healing & Consulting LLC, my advocacy work, educational communities, and continued training, my goal is to help bridge the gap between confusion and understanding.

I do not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or replace the care of a licensed medical professional. My role is to educate, advocate, support, and help individuals navigate information and resources so they can become better informed and have more productive conversations with their healthcare and environmental professionals.

I spread awareness because CIRS patients deserve to be heard.

They deserve education.

They deserve access to resources.

They deserve a community that understands.

And most importantly, they deserve hope and support as they navigate the path forward.

This is more than a profession for me. It is deeply connected to my own journey and has become part of my purpose: helping bring greater awareness, education, advocacy, and support to the CIRS community.
