Welcome — I’m So Glad You’re Here

​

If you’ve landed on this page, chances are you’re exhausted — not just from your symptoms, but from trying to convince people they’re real.

I get it. I’ve been there.

​

I’m Lily, the dietitian behind Long Covid Dietitian, and I’ve lived the rollercoaster of Long COVID myself. I know what it’s like to have your body change overnight, to lose the version of yourself you once recognized, and to be met with shrugs or silence when you try to get help. It took me two years to get a diagnosis of POTS after contracting COVID in 2020. But my diagnosis didn’t come with much relief: consume more salt and wear compression was the extent of the advice I was given.

​

I knew there was more to learn. Thinking laterally, I applied what I knew about other diseases with a similar disease burden. I pulled insight from my rigorous 5+ year dietetics program, and began a rehabilitation program that I could not have tolerated without this foundation. Within 5 months, I no longer met POTS criteria, and was able to resume the activities that made me feel the most alive: skiing, hiking, spending time with friends. As I healed, I knew I never wanted to leave anyone behind.

​

At this point, I have worked with hundreds of long haulers from every walk of life. My style is rooted in science, and drenched in soul. In our 3 months together (or sometimes longer), I hope to connect beyond the surface level. 

​

Each of us arrives at our illness with a lifetime of patterns that predispose us. Some of us carry genetic predispositions like hypermobility, MCAS, or autoimmunity. Others carry deep-seated survival patterns like people-pleasing, perfectionism, or chronic override. Often — it’s both. And we honor all of it.

​

 My team arms you with a 15 page plan designed to address a multitude of aspects of your life, looking not only at the food on your plate but how that food integrates with your physical and mental landscape. Ongoing support via unlimited messenger access is offered throughout your entire journey, so you can ask questions in live time. TMI isn’t a thing. We welcome medical anomalies, “too-much-ness”, big emotions, and messy life stories. We might not know everything, but we believe that sometimes it only takes one person who really cares to find the path to safety.  

​

If you’re ready to feel supported by someone who gets it — someone who can bring both the science and the intuition – I’d be honored to be on your team.
