FINALLY!
My first book, Healing Ground, released July 18th. And so many of you lovely humans did me the honor of purchasing it!
And then you waited. And waited. For a month a half we waited while big corporations collected metadata, analyzed it, then ordered, then inventoried…
I have a new appreciation for what it takes to be an indie author and artist.
To all of you who kept waiting for your book while sitting through days- thank you!

Let me know when you receive your copy! I’m so excited to share my story with you.

End of August came like a freight train of no more summer, camps, long hot days, and the back to school hustle.
Somewhere in there I turned 40.
As someone who has spent more years encouraging my body to heal and recover than not, I am firmly of the mind that getting older is a privilege. In fact, I’ve been cheating a little and rounding up for the last 18 months.
40 feels like a hall pass.
No longer trying to impressed or fit a mold. No longer naive enough to believe someone else has figured it all out- or that I will too.
40 feels like knowing the only right choice for me is to sink into my own audacity and enjoy every minute.
Otherwise- why work so hard to get here?
40 feels like I decade worth diving into, and I am so grateful for all the wonderful people helping me fill my life with with joy, beauty, birthday candles, and cupcakes. 💕🎂🎈

This jump wasn’t just for funsies.

It was joy—pure and abundant.
The joy of healing.
Of being on a family vacation.
Of sitting on top of a mountain without worrying about a damn thing.

This moment came after a dark night of the soul—and it reminded me that joy, peace, and exuberance matter just as much as survival.

It was also a moment of trust. Trusting that my body was strong. Capable. Ready to leap again.

Honestly? Sometimes acting like a kid is what teaches us the grown-up lessons we need most. 💛

It’s a slow climb to grow as an indie author.

My publishing house in New York gave me a platform—but you are the ones giving my book a life. Every review, every message, every time you share the book or tell a friend… it adds up in ways I never imagined.

I can’t quite put into words (ironic, I know) how much it means to read your responses. The impact, the resonance, the way Healing Ground is landing with you—it’s beyond anything I hoped for.

Thank you. Truly. You’re helping make this dream real.

When I’m at my sickest, my thoughts don’t come easily. My writing disappears into brain fog, and words feel far away.

But even in the pain and fatigue, the need to create never leaves.

Two years ago, I tried something new: watercolor.
Not to be “good” at it. Not to publish or perform.
Just to make something beautiful in the middle of difficulty.

I never thought of myself as an artist—I was a writer and a doctor, after all. A serious one.
But now, I find deep joy in painting just for the sake of beauty.

This sunflower? It’s a small act of healing.
And I’m all the happier for it. 🌻

Twenty-one years. 💛

That’s twenty-one years of growing together, figuring out how to love well, and building a life with someone who has seen me through the best and the hardest parts of myself.

I’m endlessly grateful for a partner who shows up as a caregiver, cheerleader, and best friend. Someone who doesn’t ask me to be “more able,” more cheerful, or more convenient—just more me.

This kind of love doesn’t always make headlines. But it makes a life.

Here’s to 21 years of shared coffee, shared laughter, and the kind of queer-tinged joy that’s quiet, real, and built to last. 💖💛💙

This , I’m thinking about the emotional labor of living with an invisible disability.

For too long, people with chronic conditions have had to prove that their experience is real—navigating dismissal, judgment, and minimization, often from those with the best intentions.

“People with invisible disabilities want to be seen for who they are, and receive the appropriate support to get through their daily lives. By their very nature, invisible conditions need to be explained. They require emotional labor on the part of the individual with the disability to create understanding and validation from other people.”

Support is growing. And that’s good news. But we still have a long way to go in building a world where invisible disabilities don’t require constant justification.

One study I share in the book reminds us why this is so hard: we tend to project our own feelings onto others. If we’re feeling good, we downplay others’ pain. If we’re struggling, we might assume others are too. Empathy requires stretching past that default—especially when someone’s experience is invisible to us.

Here’s to honoring the full spectrum of disability—and creating space for stories that don’t always show on the surface.

📚✨ Healing Ground is officially out in the world—TODAY. ✨📚

My very first career dream was to be a writer.

I started college as a creative writing major, but something in me knew I didn’t yet have the story—or the authority—to say something with real impact. So I changed paths. Changed careers.

I became a massage therapist, and fell in love with the stories our bodies hold.
Later, I realized another childhood dream: I became a doctor. And on my best days in practice, I see the art in the science. I hear the poetry written into our skin and bones—especially in pain, especially in healing.

It was that everyday poetry that reminded me:
I do have a story to tell.

Writing Healing Ground has been one of the most bittersweet, intense, joyful things I’ve done. And today, I’m thrilled to say:
My debut book is officially available everywhere books are sold.

Now that I’ve found the artist within the clinician, I know this won’t be my last.

📖 Thank you for reading, witnessing, and walking with me.

Healing Ground is for the ones who’ve walked out of a doctor’s office feeling more confused than cared for.
For those of us living in bodies that don’t always cooperate—and still showing up, day after day.
For the clinicians who want to treat the whole human, not just the chart.

If you’ve been looking for a story that sounds a little like your own… or one that helps you understand someone you love more deeply—this book is for you.

📆 Just 4 days to go.

One week from today, Healing Ground will be out in the world.

For years, I carried this story in pieces—too complicated, too raw, too uncertain to tell all at once. Writing this book meant turning toward the parts of myself I had survived, and making peace with letting others see them too.

I wrote it anyway. Because I know I’m not the only one.

If you’ve ever lived with chronic or invisible illness… if you’ve been dismissed or gaslit by a system that couldn’t see the full picture… or if you’re trying to find your way back to yourself through healing that doesn’t follow a straight line—this book is for you.

Healing Ground releases July 18. Preorders are open now, and I’d be honored if you picked up a copy or shared it with someone who needs to feel a little less alone.
