You're tired from all of the tough decisions — doctors, protocols, opinions... all piling up.
You feel guilty for not doing “enough,” even when you’re doing everything you can.
Friends and family don’t fully get it, and you’re tired of explaining.
You’re constantly in survival mode: managing symptoms, putting out fires, barely holding it together emotionally.
You worry you’re losing yourself to the illness.
If this is you, you’re not broken — you’re just carrying way more than your nervous system was designed for. And there is a better way.
My work is centered on...
Emotional & nervous system regulation
Life simplification & decision support
Communication & boundary tools
Supportive community & guidance
This support takes different forms, depending on where you are in your journey:
Deeper support & structure
Insight & clarity without a call
Start here if you're overwhelmed.
Hey There!
Lyme Coach ~ Integrative Therapist ~ Lyme Warrior in Remission ~ Lyme Mom
In 2015, my own health journey forced me to slow down in ways I didn’t choose.
Like many women with Lyme, I tried to push through—searching for answers while juggling symptoms, appointments, and the emotional toll of not being fully understood. I kept going, even as my body and nervous system were clearly overwhelmed.
What I eventually learned—both personally and professionally—is that healing doesn’t happen through force or perfection. It happens when your nervous system feels safe enough to rest, regulate, and rebuild.
That understanding reshaped everything.
Today, I support women living with chronic Lyme who feel overwhelmed, depleted, and exhausted from trying to figure everything out on their own. My approach blends clinical mental health training, lived experience, and practical, nervous-system–informed tools to help you create steadier footing—emotionally, mentally, and in daily life.
This work isn’t about fixing you or adding one more thing to your plate. It’s about helping you feel grounded again, make sense of what you’re navigating, and build a life that supports healing instead of draining it.
You don’t have to do this alone—and you don’t have to do it perfectly to move forward.
Here’s what my clients say about working together:
"Working with you has been life-changing!"
"Michelle helped me to feel like I wasn't all alone. She was with me every step of the way."
"Michelle helped me get through some very rough situations. Your life will be better by working with her!"
"Michelle is sensitive, patient, kind, and truly cares. I highly recommend her to anyone suffering with illness."
"Michelle is not only very sweet and a great coach, but she also has my back. This is more than I ever expected, and it has helped me to progress in her program, giving me relief when I am anxious. I have some difficulties with instructions and technology, so Michelle generously created a three-ring binder of the program with a DVD so I could stop feeling overcome and focus on balancing my life. She removed an obstacle for me that I could not do for myself, which was so kind and caring. She wants you to succeed. She is the best therapist I have ever counseled with and gets to the root of an issue in minutes with solutions that not only work for you but with a solution to bring about success and peace. After a number of slow months getting my momentum, I am celebrating success in areas I was stalled in. Being patient with myself and understanding how Lyme can be managed in such a way that actually enables me to do more, now that I am not “frozen” in procrastination. It has been a life changer, and it will be for you also!"
A simple, therapeutic framework to help you reduce overwhelm, regulate your nervous system, and feel more in control -- even on high-symptom days.
