Who I Work With

I work with people who have sensitive bodies—no matter the reason.   


Many arrive feeling worn down or overloaded—by pushing through symptoms, by the medical system, or by the constant effort of finding care that truly listens. 


Quiet Medicine offers a calm place to land—allowing your system to finally settle. My work meets you where you are, and moving at a slow, sustainable pace, honors your body's natural rhythm. 

Complex Chronic Conditions

I work with people living with post-viral and complex chronic illnesses—conditions that are layered, fluctuating, and often poorly supported by conventional systems. This includes ME/CFS, Long Covid, POTS and other forms of dysautonomia, MCAS/MCAD, and EDS or hypermobility.


I bring deep familiarity to this work through both clinical training and lived experience. I understand how destabilizing these conditions can be and how exhausting it is to find care that truly accounts for complexity.


My approach begins with listening. Through gentle, hands-on craniosacral therapy, I support the nervous system in settling and finding steadiness. When helpful, I draw on integrative medicine to guide practical next steps—without overwhelm or unrealistic promises.


The goal is not perfection, cure, or fixing, but resilience: recognizing what balance feels like in your body and how to return to it when it shifts.

Sustained Stress

Stress is a normal part of life. The nervous system reacts and holds on, often without a clear way to release what’s being carried.


This is a physical process. Chronic stress becomes a kind of muscle memory, held in the nerves, muscles, and fascia—the connective tissue that supports the body. Over time, unresolved activation can appear as tension, pain, fatigue, or a constant sense of being on edge. 


Craniosacral therapy offers a gentle, hands-on way to support and balance the nervous system. By freeing movement in the fascia, I help release tension in muscles, joints, and the nervous system, allowing the body to relax more fully.


This work is not about forcing change or pushing through. It’s about allowing the body to move toward ease in its own time. My role is to pause, listen, and support the body in restoring balance.

Medical Trauma

Medical trauma is often overlooked, yet it can profoundly shape a person’s relationship with their body and with medical care, while also placing strain on the nervous system. 


It may arise from ongoing symptoms, invasive treatments, or repeated experiences of being dismissed, invalidated, or not believed. Over time, these experiences can leave the nervous system guarded, braced, or unsure where it is safe to rest. 


I work attentively and respectfully to support your nervous system, honor your experience, and help you find what feels most supportive—both here and beyond.
