It feels cosmically unfair to be in your 20s or 30s and find yourself suddenly relating to your grandma’s aches and pains.

One day, you take the dog on a 2 km walk, and the next you’re limping into work. 

Another time it starts with a slight ache, a stiffness, a warmth that builds over days or weeks until your whole body is on fire. 

You start medication or get your dose adjusted, and after weeks, it finally starts to feel like it is working. And it’s amazing! You can actually function again.

But you’re still not yourself.

You’re constantly worrying about what you’ll do next time you have a flare. You’re tired. You hold back, afraid to do “too much.”

You don’t have to let joint pain, fatigue, and fear hold you back.

You can love your life again.

Hi! Samantha here,

I am a registered dietitian and I have psoriatic arthritis. I had my first flare when I was 24. I went from walking my dog nearly every day to barely being able to move around.

I know what it’s like to feel full-body pain and to fear that it’s never going to get better.

Other people look at you and don’t know why you’re struggling. You look fine. You’re young. But your body doesn’t feel like you are young or fine.

But I also know that it doesn’t need to control your life. Even through flare and medication changes, there are things you can do to help yourself feel better.

My mission is to help you get unstuck and empower you to continue living your life fully. I love seeing people reconnect with their intuition through mindfulness, and I am passionate about distilling health and nutrition information so you can actually use it.
