How I Can Help
As an independent Concierge Health Advocate and consultant, my role is to support my ambitious, health conscious clients through a 60-90 minute initial consultation, in-depth assessment and integrative health navigation, particularly for complex illnesses such as autoimmune disease, long COVID, Lyme disease or dental related conditions.
I also offer customized health/wellness management plans tailored for athletic, driven individuals. These plans are unique based on the client’s personal health goals but designed to help my clients stay on top of their physical and mental health.
My in-depth assessment is what sets me apart from other independent advocates. I developed the assessment to address my clients concerns which include misdiagnosis and lack of communication among their practitioners. It’s a tool born from my own healthcare experiences and the recognition of how a fragmented system can lead to mistakes and a lack of coordinated care.
For clients seeking a correct diagnosis or a second/third opinion after consulting multiple physicians, this assessment is a crucial first step. It involves a comprehensive one-on-one interview where I ask targeted questions to capture a detailed understanding of their health history, going back as far as they deem relevant. I also conduct a thorough review of their medical records, with their written authorization.
This detailed assessment, which can take between two and five hours, allows me to compile critical details to create a personalized plan of action, or “game plan.” This plan outlines their health history, personal health goals, and the strategies we will employ to achieve them. Importantly, it includes a specific section highlighting areas they may want to explore further with a board-certified physician.
We then review these findings together, discuss the available options, and adjust the plan according to their preferences.
For my full-service concierge clients, I take an active role in executing this plan. This includes researching suitable physicians and specialized lab tests, preparing thoroughly for appointments, and attending appointments (either in person or virtually) to ensure their needs are met. I also compile detailed notes, questions, and treatment options.
I also have clients who come to me initially for an in-depth assessment and the resulting customized roadmap. They receive a tangible document that empowers them to navigate their healthcare journey independently, saving them valuable time, and providing crucial insights into the priorities for their unique situation.
Initial Consultation: Starts at $250.00

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
My path to patient advocacy began in 1998 when my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Witnessing the limited treatment options available at that time sparked a deep desire to research and find any potential new therapies or clinical trials that could offer him more choices.
Although my father was in remission for 3 years, he was misdiagnosed when his cancer returned in 2002. His misdiagnosis, along with my mother’s misdiagnosis and my harrowing health journey was my wake up call to see how broken our healthcare system was.
Several years after moving to Tampa Bay, I faced my own personal mystery diagnosis case. My bizarre symptoms started suddenly in 2006 and severely impacted my quality of life. My undiagnosed illness led me on a frustrating journey to numerous doctors to seek correct answers. Despite countless appointments that often felt rushed and unproductive, I received neither a clear diagnosis nor effective treatment, frequently being offered medications that merely addressed the symptoms without tackling the underlying issues.
My search for a correct diagnosis led me to over 23 specialists across Georgia and Florida before I identified my condition as Lyme disease in 2011. This self-diagnosis was later confirmed by a West Coast laboratory through specialized blood testing. Adding another layer of complexity, the internal medicine physician who ordered the Lyme lab panel misinterpreted the results as negative. It was only through my direct follow-up and communication with the lab that I was able to confirm the positive diagnosis.
My health journey continued for several years as I sought treatment in another state and worked to understand other contributing factors, including environmental illness and “silent” complications from a past medical procedure. This involved extensive personal research and consultations with carefully selected specialists whom I vetted to evaluate, test, and diagnose these conditions—areas in which many practitioners often lack specific training or the necessary time for thorough investigation.
Through these personal experiences, I’ve observed an alarming systemic issue within our conventional healthcare system. The influence of micromanaging health insurance companies and large healthcare systems often leave physicians without sufficient time to thoroughly investigate complex or “mystery” cases, contributing to a concerning rate of misdiagnosis.
As a result of our broken healthcare system, there is a significant demand for a dedicated concierge advocate who truly understands the challenges faced by health-conscious, driven individuals like business executives, entrepreneurs, and former athletes.
These individuals lead active, demanding lives, prioritize their well-being and are looking for a proactive approach to healthcare, rather than navigating a potentially unreliable system on their own.
They want a knowledgeable concierge health advocate who will thoroughly prepare for their medical appointments, help them and their families avoid misdiagnosis, ensure their voice is heard and ensure their concerns are addressed effectively with their chosen physician(s).
Furthermore, there’s a desire to avoid the pitfalls of unnecessary emergency room visits and excessive out of network testing without a clear plan.
When you think of a driven person, they are usually a strategic planner and have a trusted wealth advisor.
When they assemble the various parts of their financial plan, incorporating a concierge health advocate is a critical component to preserving their quality of life, investments and wealth.
