Suffolk County, NY

Infected: July 2006
Diagnosed: Spring 2010
Current health: “While I still deal with some symptoms, they are significantly more manageable. I have my life back, and I feel like ME again!”

There are so many different pieces to the Lyme disease puzzle when trying to recover, and unfortunately there is no one-size-fits-all treatment.

In 2006, I was bit by a tick, that infected me with Lyme, Bartonella, Powassan virus, Protomyxzoa Rhuematica, and Mycoplasma Pneumonia. During this journey, I personally experienced the devastating effects of tick-borne illnesses. After years of trying the various treatment options available, and not responding to the protocols, I decided to receive whole-body hyperthermia treatment. This treatment saved my life, and for the first time I was able to see a light at the end of the tunnel.

“Once returning home from the clinic, I immersed myself in daily detoxification and cell membrane repair therapies, vitamins and supplements, herbal tinctures, and I followed a strict diet to aid my body in the recovery process. From this experience, I decided to go back to school to receive a master’s in Human Nutrition at the University of Bridgeport. Upon graduating I began my private practice as a Functional Nutritionist at Balancing Pathways. My hope is to guide people in their healing journey by educating them about hyperthermia as a successful treatment option, and by directing patients on the therapies received before, during, and after hyperthermia treatment. It does get better.”
