Hi, I’m Setareh.

I’m a voracious reader and love everything to do with health and wellness. I devour health books in 3 days. No kidding! I also love green tea, the color pink and the quiet calm that comes with my daily morning meditation practice.

This wasn’t always me.

When I got sick with lupus at 18 years old, I was pushing my body too hard in an effort to lose weight, drinking slim fast shakes and processed food bars disguised as food. I was also putting a lot of pressure on myself as life was putting pressure on me to transition to adulthood.

It was the perfect storm.

When the joint pain, red scaly rash on my face and debilitating exhaustion took hold along with the lupus diagnosis, I knew something needed to change.

The medications weren’t doing enough because I still felt terrible all the time. I kept asking my doctors what I could do to help myself. None of them had any answers for me other than medication.

Thats when I began researching, learning as much as I could about lupus and doing everything I could on my own to help myself.

It didn’t just make a difference. It made ALL the difference.

Fast forward to today and I’ve been in remission for 20 years, have a beautiful daughter and family, an active life and most importantly, a sense of control in how I manage my lupus.

Today I help clients with autoimmune disease take control of their health so they can be more clear headed and feel vibrant and energetic in their bodies
