Mind-Body Tips
Lessons from my healing journey
Just one month into journalism school at Rutgers University, I was diagnosed with Postular Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), an autonomic nervous system disorder that turned my life upside down with debilitating symptoms ranging from near-fainting spells to extreme fatigue, dizziness, gastrointestinal pain, brain fog…and the list goes on. I bounced from doctor to doctor desperately trying to get my symptoms under control—yet nothing worked.
After hitting rock bottom, I found myself in the world of holistic medicine and reclaimed my life through nutrition, acupuncture and mind-body medicine. Listen to my full recovery story here on TMS RoundTable or here on The Steady Coach. This is a short interview on Raelan Agle's channel summarizing my recovery from POTS and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. Or check out the video below:

The guide below presents recovery tips for POTS, many of which apply to other mind-body conditions. I wish I had this resource when I was a scared 18-year-old newly diagnosed with POTS. I pray that it will help others find treatments that work for them and, most importantly, inspire hope that healing is possible. If you are interested in Internal Family Systems (IFS) for mind-body healing, please don't hesitate to reach out!
