my story

I didn't build this from theory. I built it from falling apart.

The full story

I looked fine from the outside.

I was a chiropractor with a practice, a family, a full calendar. Capable. Responsible. The one other people leaned on. On paper, I was doing everything right.

Underneath it, I was running on a nervous system that never got the signal it was safe to stop.

Then my body stopped negotiating.

Lyme disease and toxic mold took me all the way down. I couldn't handle the sound of my own kids' laughter. I watched my family carry me through the parts of life I used to carry for everyone else. It was the first time I understood, in my body and not just in theory, what happens when you never put your own oxygen mask on first.

I needed something that worked in the middle of the chaos.

That experience became the foundation of everything I teach now: the gear model, the Urgency Reset, the framework behind The Connection Code. Not because I found it in a textbook, but because I needed it to survive my own life first.

Where I am now.

Today I work as a chiropractor and nervous system practitioner, and I’m the author of The Connection Code. For more than 20 years, I’ve helped thousands of women learn how to regulate their nervous systems amidst their lives—not just when they can escape from them.

I built the Connection Code Café because I believe women need practical ways to come back to themselves in the middle of full, demanding lives—and because no woman should have to figure this out as alone.

A few honest things

I'm not a distant expert. I'm a fellow mama who found her way back.

I don't have this perfected. I still have hard days, gears I forget to shift, moments I have to talk myself back down from survival like everyone else. That's kind of the point. I'm not teaching this from above it. I'm teaching it from inside it, alongside you.
