My journey into health coaching and stress management happened when I found myself buried under the weight of corporate life as a Human Resources pro and a Ministry Leader juggling more roles than humanly possible. In my HR role I aligned organizational strategies, advised leaders, and as a Ministry Leader – I literally did everything, from leading the music ministry, teaching Church School, being a Steward, and then becoming a Licentiate in the AME Church (which added more responsibility and duties). – you name it! But let’s be real, it was a recipe for burnout.

I was constantly exhausted. I would wake up tired. No amount of sleep would help. Then I began blacking out. I didn’t go to the doctor until after one fall was close to being fatal. That doctor visit ended up being 26 doctor visits because all of the test were normal and I was determined to find out why I was blacking out. 

I was finally sent to have a tilt table test and was then diagnosed with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Doctors had no way to help me post diagnosis, so I decided to figure it out on my own.
