You feel stuck, frustrated, and
you aren't really living.

You’re caught between frustration and guilt, irritated that your body keeps letting you down.

Each new symptom or flare-up feels like uncharted territory—overwhelming and scary.

Meet your coach

Hi, I’m Deena. Welcome!

I’ve lived with migraine since I was just three years old. By the time I was 20, my attacks had become chronic, deeply impacting every part of my life. I know firsthand the stigma, isolation, and emotional toll that migraine can bring—and I also know the life-changing power of connecting with people who truly get it.

In 2023, I became a certified Chronic Pain Support Group Leader through the U.S. Pain Foundation, and in 2025, I completed my certification as a Health and Wellness Coach. Through my own experiences, I found not only healing, but also a deep passion for helping others who are navigating life with chronic illness.

I believe healing isn’t just about treatment plans or medications—it’s also about being seen, heard, and understood. If you’ve ever felt alone in this journey, know this: you’re not. I’m so glad you’re here.

Let’s walk this path together.

"Thanks to Deena, I finally got clear about what I wanted and how to get there. I'm no longer uncertain about my path forward—now I have realistic goals and a plan tailored to managing life with chronic illness."

Frequently Asked Questions

A chronic illness life coach helps you create a personalized plan to move toward the life you want—at a pace that honors your health. They help you track your progress, adapt to flare-ups, and stay accountable to goals that actually feel doable (even on hard days).

Living with migraine or any chronic condition means navigating daily unpredictability. It takes more than willpower—it takes strategy, flexibility, and deep support. Doing it alone can feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting.

Imagine having someone in your corner who truly gets it—who offers both practical tools and compassionate encouragement. Someone who acts as a guide, cheerleader, and accountability partner to help you move toward your most meaningful goals, without burning out in the process. That’s where I come in.

I support people living with migraine and other chronic illnesses who are ready to feel more in control of their lives—even when their health feels unpredictable. Whether you're a student, caregiver, entrepreneur, or simply trying to make it through each day, you deserve support that truly understands your reality.

Together, we work on managing the emotional toll of chronic illness, building routines that work with your symptoms (not against them), and reconnecting with your identity beyond your diagnosis. I help clients navigate pain and fatigue, rebuild confidence, regulate their nervous system, and find clarity in what matters most—on their terms.

You don’t have to do this alone. If chronic illness is part of your life and you’re looking for someone who truly gets it, let’s talk. I’m here to help you feel empowered, seen, and supported as you move forward—one small, sustainable step at a time.

Life with chronic illness is unpredictable—I deeply understand that.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, you can do so online up to 24 hours in advance—no questions asked. Just log in and choose a new time that works better for you.

If something comes up within that 24-hour window, don’t stress. Just reach out by phone or email. I’ll do my best to work with you to find another time, because your health and peace of mind come first here.
