Have You Been Diagnosed With an Autoimmune Disorder?

Hi, - Fellow RA Warrior

I'm Annmarie, a fellow RA warrior turned RA & Autoimmune Support Coach who knows all too well how an autoimmune diagnosis can be life-altering and turn your world upside down. After my own diagnosis and healing journey from RA began, I noticed the massive missing link in the healing process for patients with an autoimmune condition. Their entire world had just changed; they felt like they’d never be able to walk/run/play with their grandkids again, yet they didn’t feel like anyone could actually “understand” what they were going through. Talk about the challenges of a “hidden” disease.

You might be finding yourself…

• Overwhelmed by all the drugs being prescribed to you
• The endless list of medical terms, potential drug side effects, and challenges that you might face. 
• Being put in the victim spot by friends or family, making you (likely not on purpose) feel like you’re handicapped
• Feeling scared shitless (will I ever be active with my kids or grandkids again?)
• Not sure where to go after the doctor told you those words you never expected to hear, “You have an autoimmune disease.”
  

Think of me as your RA/autoimmune confidant as you navigate the beginning of your healing journey. I help you feel like a warrior instead of a victim.

So You’ve Gotten Your Diagnosis; Now What?

Through my own journey of being in remission from the autoimmune condition Rheumatoid Arthritis since 2019, I realized that few doctors had the bandwidth to support the mental/emotional component of healing and treatment plans.

This is where I come in to relieve you from the overwhelm—let’s get you back to yourself and help you feel like an active participant in your life again.

Simple tasks like walking, opening a water bottle, and doing the laundry can become a surprising challenge  when diagnosed  with an autoimmune condition.

It’s time to finally feel like  yourself again. Through our work together, we will  create a personalized protocol to manage your diagnosis, implement healthy habits, and navigate your WTF meltdowns.

I’m a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, caregiver, and Rheumatoid Arthritis Warrior since December of 2019. I help you (in partnership with your doctor) manage the overwhelming prognosis through mental and emotional support for your RA or autoimmune diagnosis. Think of me as an extended member of your family who understands what you’re saying—whether it’s hearing about your most recent flare-up, helping you navigate your grief journey of “why me,” or just being there to remind you it’s all going to be ok (with the reminder that hey, it’s okay to not be ok).

 I’m your person.
