Coaching by Lena emerged from my personal journey with chronic illness, driven by my profound empathy for fellow chronic illness warriors, and my unwavering commitment to living life to the fullest, even with a chronic illness.
I have found that if you love life, life will love you back
Hi, I’m Lena, 26 years old, and this is a part of my story…
2014 was the year when my first symptoms kicked in. I was just about to finish my High School year abroad in California and suddenly, I was in constant pain, I couldn’t tolerate foods that were never an issue before, I had to use the bathroom a lot, and eventually started bleeding. I was exhausted and didn’t understand what was happening. After returning home, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease and went on my first round of steroids. The first years were difficult, as I was just a 17 year old girl, trying to hide her “broken body” from people around me.
