Expert coaching and support for families dealing with PANS and/or tickborne illnesses.

When your child suddenly changes—or symptoms escalate fast—it can feel terrifying, isolating, and overwhelming. You may be asking: What happened to my child? Is this really PANS? Why does no one understand? Where do we go for help? If you’ve been navigating the complexities of PANS, you’ve likely been carrying more than anyone sees. Take a breath. You’re in the right place. Here you can receive PANS support through PANS family coaching and consulting.
Parents navigating PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) often feel: • Overwhelmed by sudden, extreme symptoms • Confused by conflicting medical information, including the role of babesia in neuroimmune illnesses • Dismissed by schools, family, or professionals • Exhausted from being constantly “on alert.” • Afraid to hope, yet desperate for healing. None of this means you’re failing. It means you’re facing a life-altering neuroimmune illness—and doing the best you can in circumstances you never chose. PANS coaching (or PANDAS coaching) can help you navigate these challenges.
PANS can disrupt development, strain marriages and finances, and isolate entire families, especially when compounded by issues like babesia. Many parents grieve the childhood they expected their child to have due to the challenges of PANS.
One of the most powerful aspects of PANS coaching is simple:
Being heard by someone who truly understands PANS.
In sessions focused on PANS family coaching, parents often experience—for the first time—what it’s like to:
• Be taken seriously
• Stop explaining or defending what they see
• Name fear, grief, and exhaustion without judgment
• Be met with steadiness, clarity, and perspective
Feeling understood through PANS support can change everything.
PANS family coaching provides calm, informed support during one of the most stressful journeys a family can face. This is not medical care or therapy. It is a steady partnership that helps you: • Make sense of what’s happening without overwhelm, including issues related to babesia. • Stay regulated during flares, crises, and uncertainty. • Develop a holistic care plan integrating medical, school, and community supports. • Clarify next steps and sustain yourself as a caregiver. PANS coaching doesn’t tell you what to do; it helps you make strong, grounded decisions for your child and family.
Support is tailored to where you are right now, offering specialized PANS support for your needs:
• One-time or intermittent coaching for specific challenges
• The PANS Insider Coaching Program — providing ongoing 1:1 coaching, between-session guidance, and steady care across the arc of illness and healing, ensuring families receive comprehensive PANS education and support.
You don’t have to be sure. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, confused, or alone, this could be a helpful next step. I invite you to schedule a free Discovery Call so we can discuss your challenges and explore whether PANS coaching or a PANS education consultation feels right for you at this moment. Remember, you don’t have to navigate this journey alone.

Helping your child heal from PANS/PANDAS is a herculean task. Through personalized PANS coaching, we will create a customized plan that fits your family's unique situation and your child's stage on the healing journey. Our PANS family coaching will equip you with winning strategies that help you reach the finish line while minimizing trauma. Although it is difficult, with proper support, your family can emerge stronger.
Navigating the medical system, insurance systems, and school systems (IEP, 504 Plans) is challenging during the best of times. When dealing with PANS/PANDAs and/or tick-borne infections ( especially, Borrelia, Babesia, or Bartonella) it can be particularly overwhelming and frustrating. Our services can help you smartly navigate these systems, create the medical and school teams you need, and minimize your out-of-pocket expenses while providing essential support.
PANS is complex and multifaceted, often leaving you with more questions the more you learn. The internet is rife with conflicting information and, at times, misinformation. To make matters worse, healthcare providers may offer conflicting recommendations, which puts you in the position of deciding the best course of action. I provide PANS education that clarifies PANS/PANDAS symptoms, explains tick-borne illnesses, immune dysregulation, and the relevant testing and treatment options in terms you can easily understand, all supported by scientific and clinical evidence. Additionally, I can help you comprehend how symptoms such as rage, OCD, motor and vocal tics, and school refusal are biologically driven, distinguishing them from mere bad behavior. Through my services, clients can gain the knowledge needed to educate themselves, their partners, extended family members, school teams, or other caregivers about how to support a person with PANS and their family.
Sometimes you just need to talk with someone who truly understands your struggles with conditions like PANS. You may need encouragement to carry on when you are weary, scared, and heartbroken. Perhaps you require a sounding board to help carry the mental load. Sometimes, assistance with non-medical supports such as safety plans, respite care, sibling support, and career protection/FMLA is essential. We can provide you with PANS education, direct and private support, and will refer you to additional resources when appropriate.
