Supporting Your Healthcare Journey

Why I Do This Work

Because I've been where you are. I've navigated major surgery and chronic health challenges.

During my healthcare journey, including ileostomy surgery, I discovered a critical gap: the space between medical care and actually living your life. Doctors could treat my condition, but who would help me navigate the identity changes, lifestyle adaptations, and emotional processing?

This pattern repeated when I moved across continents and navigated intercultural relationships. There were practical resources, but where was the support for the deeper, more personal aspects of change - like rebuilding identity in new places or bridging different cultural approaches to health and relationships?

What I've Learned

Through these experiences, I learned that there's more to healing than just getting through it. With the right support, we can not only recover but build lives that truly work for us.

That's what Vive Coaching provides: thoughtful guidance from someone who has walked similar paths and learned that meaningful change is possible, even in difficult circumstances.
