I See You

You want to say yes to the trip. Some part of you is already doing the math — what this will cost you, and how many days or weeks it'll take to pay it back.

Your family's excited about the big trip — but you're secretly in dread, because you don't know if your body can handle it.

You have dysautonomia or POTS, and you know hot climates, long lines, museums, amusement parks — even shopping malls — can send your nervous system into overdrive until all you want to do is curl up on the floor.

Your body does weird things at weird times — odd pains, vibrations, sensations — and you have no idea what you'll do if that happens mid-flight.

You know what it's like to smile through the second half of a trip so no one can tell you're running on empty — and then pay for it in bed for weeks after.

You're afraid of getting sick on a trip and spending your vacation Googling symptoms instead of enjoying your trip

You believe you can get better — but you're terrified this trip will be the thing that sets you back.

What if you could come home and unpack your suitcase instead of your symptoms?

MY STORY

Why I Built The Resilient Traveler

I have loved to travel my whole life. I traveled to the UK to see my husband's family even when I was very sick with ME/CFS, because I wanted to be there no matter what it cost me. For over twenty years, I have traveled on my own, with my family, and with patients who trusted me to help them stay well in developing countries and everywhere in between.

As a naturopathic physician, I have spent two decades studying how the body responds to travel, stress, and illness, and 25 years helping my own patients get ready for their trips. I have watched patients with ME/CFS and long COVID want so badly to travel again, and hold themselves back because they were scared of what it would cost them. I built this course to give them, and you, the tools I use myself and teach in my clinic.

This isn't a PDF you'll skim once and forget. It's me, a physician of almost 30 years who has lived this herself, teaching you LIVE, taking your real questions, and building this with you.

Bubble Up is the practice I built to protect your energy before, during, and after a trip — a simple way to prepare your nervous system, your immune system, and your body so a new place doesn't take you down. I'm going to teach it to you step by step, the same way I teach it in my own clinic.

A DIFFERENT WAY

I Do Not Believe You Should Have to Choose Between Your Health and Your Life

Once you know how to protect your nervous system and your energy, you get to relax and actually enjoy where you are. This is not about being fearless. It is about being ready, so fear does not get to make the decision for you.

MY MISSION

I've Lived This Too

I'm a licensed naturopathic physician and Functional Medicine Educator, and I've walked this healing journey myself. I know the fear, the exhaustion, and the uncertainty that comes with ME/CFS and long COVID, because I have lived inside all three. There were times I felt lost and drained, unable to help myself, let alone anyone else.

What changed things for me, and for the patients I've worked with on their most complex cases, was understanding the root cause.

There is no magic pill. You already know that.

But while you are in your journey of recovery, feeling fully alive, including travel, is not only possible, it helps your healing, once you understand how to support your body

Introducing

The Resilient Traveler

A course delivered LIVE for adventurous spirits navigating ME/CFS, long COVID, or other chronic illness. You'll learn to build your bubble - the protective layer that gets you through a trip and back - and travel with a plan that holds up before, during, and after.

SEE WHAT'S INSIDE

After this course, you'll travel with a clear plan and a fully stocked Bubble Up Bag that contains all the rescues, resources, and remedies so nothing on the road catches you unprepared.

You'll catch the crash before it gets you, not after

You'll come home from a trip feeling like you, not like you need another week to recover.

What We'll Cover

This course is built LIVE, with you. Your questions shape what we cover, and every session is recorded, so missing a live call doesn't mean missing the course.

Each module builds one layer of your bubble.

Welcome + Start Here

Learn to Bubble Up so you can live life fully.

Module 1: Catch the Crash Before It Starts, Not After

You'll recognize the moment your nervous system flips into high alert in a new place, and you'll have the exact tools to bring yourself back down before it turns into a crash.

Module 2: Get on a Plane Without Getting Sick From It

Your immune system game plan for planes, new places, and everywhere in between.

Module 3: Sleep, Jet Lag & Time Zone Reset

You'll know how to protect your sleep on the road, reset a blown time zone, and survive Aunt Millie's couch without losing the whole trip to exhaustion.

Module 4: "I Felt Fine... Then I Wasn't"

Fear of post-exertion malaise disappears when you learn to read your body's signals in real time, so you're not racking up energy debt without knowing it, and losing a day you didn't see coming.

Module 5: Pack Once, Use It for Every Trip After This One

A live session where we build your own travel health bag together — a light version for quick trips, a full version for the road: the remedies, supplements, and must-haves you'll actually carry, all travel size compliant.

Module 6: Know What to Do Before the Emergency Happens

You'll have a real plan already in place for acute illness, an energy crash on the road, or a travel companion's emergency, so a bad moment doesn't turn into a crisis.

Module 7: Eat Out or Stay at Someone's House Without Derailing Your Gut

You'll know how to eat out, stay at someone's home, or travel in a foreign country and still stay on the diet that supports your body, TSA-compliant bottles and all.

Module 8: BONUS: Choose your Adventure Final session

A live session shaped entirely by what didn't get answered in Modules 1 through 7. Whatever you still need, we build it here.

You Are Not Alone

You're Traveling With a Group Who Gets It

This is a small live cohort of people who understand what it is like to want to travel and be scared of what it will cost you. You will learn together, ask questions live, and build your toolkit alongside people who are not going to tell you to just push through it.

THE REAL COST

What does it cost you not to know this?

WITHOUT A PLAN

Losing days, or your whole trip, to being sick.
Rewriting your packing list four times because you don't trust yourself to remember what you need.
A doctor's visit somewhere you don't know the system.
Spending a day of your vacation searching for the right remedy, because you forgot to pack it.
Coming home and losing another week of your life to recovery.

WITH BUBBLE UP

You'll travel with a plan that protects you from getting sick in the first place.
You'll pack and prepare with confidence, not dread.
You'll know exactly what to do and who to call if something goes wrong.
You'll have your Bubble Up Bag ready, so you're never caught without what you need.
You'll come home feeling like you, not like you need another week to recover.
