Welcome to North Star Health!
I aim to serve those navigating health challenges of varying degrees, in finding manageable ways to create reasonable gains where possible and accepting new limitations.
After 18 years as a massage therapist, 5 years as an acupuncturist, a lifetime of yoga practice and my teacher training, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology – I have learned a few ways to help others along the way!
My own health took a turn in my late thirties, and so I also approach that support from my lived experience with hypermobility spectrum disorder, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, and systemic nickel allergy syndrome. Basically I am bendy, tired, dizzy, and itchy – in a nutshell. During my figuring out what was happening, I also learned a lot about other conditions: endometriosis, perimenopause/menopause, myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS), myocardial bridges, Ehlers Danlos syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, neurodivergence (ADHD & autism), and the complications of the dysautonomia umbrella.
I also learned a lot about the people suffering with these conditions, and I want to help wherever I can.
