My first name rhymes with heron. I love a wander before speaking at an event, so imagine my delight finding this beauty just before running a 2-day workshop & speaking at @sandiegopainsummit.bsky.social (2023).

What do you do to relax or prep before an event?

Balancing patient care, research, life & continuous learning can seem effortless for others, but the reality may be different. Comparing yourself to others isn't healthy!

Ready to tackle #ImposterSyndrome?

Today choose to #TakeAction: Lean in or tune into your emotions or reactions, and explore what action is needed. Ignoring what's going on magnifies issues, and excessive self-soothing is avoidance, so choose to act with compassion for yourself and others.

Clinician #burnout is far too high & I’ve been there. Poor #WorkLifeBalance, #boundaries issues, & overextending don’t serve us or our patients.

Today instead of filling time from a postponed session with work I sat in stillness ☀️

#HealthcareProfessionals please make time for you 🙏🏾💙

#MLKDay highlights messages of equality, justice & #SharedHumanity. Clinicians, we have a collective responsibility to advocate for equitable #CompassionateCare for all.

I've opened up some free calls if you're feeling angry/emotional about things.

After 5 years w #LongCovid- breakthrough! 4 minutes on recumbent bike & gentle Pilates for 3 consecutive days. Self-compassion, #pacing & listening to my body have been key. Each small win counts. If you’re managing a persistent issue, give yourself grace, tune in & pace

1/2 Reading 📖 All in Her Head & reflecting on how many women are dismissed as "anxious" when seeking care. History of healthcare riddled with men making assumptions about women's bodies.
Women's voices & experiences have often been overlooked, leaving a legacy of mistreatment and insufficient care.

✅Covid vaccine
🤔I’m part of a subset of people with #LongCovid who experience notable improvements a few days after the vaccine. • Anyone researching why this happens in some individuals?
• Could differences in our immune systems point to new treatment possibilities?

Clinicians' comments during my #vulvodynia journey
• "Don't do that, only older women get this" –when asked about support groups
• "Just get married & have kids" –not my values & ouch, I had vulval pain!
• "This is your life now. Think about not working & bed rest"
