Is Fibromyalgia keeping you from
living your best life?
Hi, I'm Gisèle
I am here to help guide you between what your doctor knows and what it takes to effectively treat fibromyalgia and multiple chemical and environmental sensitivities
Did you know 3-6% of the world's population is diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but doctors aren't being taught in medical school how to treat it?
When patients are diagnosed, they're told things like:
There's no cure.
There's not much we can do to help you.
Get used to your "new normal".
Life as you knew it is now over.
It doesn't have to be this way! There are SO many things that can be done to treat fibromyalgia!
If you've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, I want you to know:
There's no cure, but you can find ways to feel better.
There are many options that we can try until we find what helps you feel your best.
You will need to adapt to living with fibromyalgia, but life can still be wonderfully joyful, meaningful, and exciting.
A fresh start to your new life is beginning.
I provide fibromyalgia coaching support through:
Private one-on-one coaching
If you've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and/or MCS and are looking for the fastest route to improvement, I can assist you in discovering what works best for you and how to achieve the life you desire despite these conditions.
Microbiome Testing
This is an option added to the coaching support that I offer in my personalized approach to improving your health. As part of my holistic approach, I offer access to state-of-the-art gut microbiome testing combined with tailored coaching to help optimize your health and feel vibrant again. Using cutting-edge genomic sequencing, this test identifies the bacteria and metabolites affecting your digestion, metabolism, immunity, and mental health. We review the results together and your personalized plan around evidence-based solutions guiding you toward optimized gut health. My clients have reported remarkable improvements in their digestive health, increased energy levels, improved sleep, improved mood, and better quality of life. This type of testing is normally difficult to access and expensive, but I've made it easier for you to benefit from this groundbreaking service by offering it as part of my coaching program. The choice is yours to take advantage of this rare opportunity to access advanced testing and personalized support that is typically out of reach for most. With this unique advantage, you'll be empowered to take control of your health and live your life to the fullest. I’m excited to offer this incredible resource to help you thrive despite fibromyalgia and MCS! Additional fees apply. Contact me for more information.

Insurance Coverage
As a health coach registered with the internationally recognized Health Coach Alliance, an increasing number of insurance companies are covering my coaching services due to the high standards and credentials required by the Alliance. Health coaching is a cost-effective way to help prevent or manage chronic conditions like fibromyalgia and MCS, which can reduce overall healthcare costs. With the growing demand for holistic health solutions and the integration of health coaches into healthcare teams, more insurers are recognizing the value of these services, and in particular as provided by the Alliance's registered health coaches. Coverage may vary depending on your provider.
Why should you consider working with me?
I truly understand your pain because I’ve experienced it firsthand!
My journey with fibromyalgia began in 2014, following 20 years of declining health during which I went through rounds of doctors and specialists in search of answers and treatments, culminating with a disabling six-month flare that was made even worse with each medication my doctor prescribed. By the following year, my condition had worsened to the point where I had to file for disability. Finally, in 2016, it was confirmed that I had fibromyalgia. The following year, I was also diagnosed with multiple chemical and environmental sensitivities (MCS), and a few months later, chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) joined the list of my "mysterious" health issues.
Today, my fibromyalgia, MCS, and ME/CFS are now in remission!
Throughout those challenging years, my husband and I were raising our four children and caring for our aging mothers. Despite a 12-year career as a Registered Nurse in Neurology and Medicine, and having practiced in Canada and the USA, I felt as lost as all those doctors in understanding my worsening health problems.
But giving up was never an option I considered! In 2016, I worked with a Health Coach, and it transformed my life. After becoming a Certified Health and Life Coach in 2017, I discovered that standard health coaching didn’t address all my fibromyalgia symptoms. I immersed myself in every program, workshop, and book on fibromyalgia to find the answers for my own health.
In 2021, I became a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach® at the International Fibromyalgia Coaching Institute. This training included a private mentorship while completing over 200 hours of coaching fibromyalgia clients. Since then, I've complete additional training in MCS, ME/CFS, and Holistic Nutrition Coaching, and appeared on English and French podcasts to talk about fibromyalgia and MCS. In 2023, I became a Registered Health Coach with the internationally renowned Health Coach Alliance.
Working with me gives you exclusive access to high-quality tools helping you break free from your pain, fatigue, and sensitivities! I do one-on-one coaching, helping patients worldwide with their fibromyalgia, MCS patients, as well as fibromyalgia secondary to long-Covid, take back control of their lives, and I’m here to support YOU too!
The Meaning Behind the Tri-Colored Butterfly: A Symbol of Strength, Hope and Transformation
As someone who has always found solace in nature, butterflies have held a special place in my heart. Their delicate appearance belies an incredible strength and resilience – much like those of us living with invisible chronic conditions.
A Personal Connection
My journey with fibromyalgia, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), and ME/CFS led me to discover the awareness ribbons associated with each condition:
-
Purple for fibromyalgia
-
Green for MCS
-
Blue for ME/CFS
These three conditions are often found to coexist, creating a unique experience that requires specialized support and understanding.
More Than Just a Logo
The tri-colored butterfly in my logo embodies several powerful meanings:
-
Transformation: Like the monarch butterfly that journeys thousands of miles despite its fragile appearance, we too can transform our relationship with chronic illness
-
Natural Healing: The butterfly exists within an ecosystem of natural elements – representing our holistic approach to health that embraces the healing power of nature
-
Community: Butterflies often gather together, symbolizing our community of warriors supporting each other through similar challenges
-
Resilience: Though appearing delicate, butterflies withstand incredible challenges – just as we demonstrate remarkable strength while navigating invisible illnesses
A Promise of Support
This symbol reflects my commitment to providing expert guidance as you navigate your health journey. It stands as a reminder that despite our seemingly delicate bodies, we possess extraordinary determination to reclaim control over our health and pursue our passions.
I chose this symbol because it captures both the struggle and the beauty of our journeys. It represents hope, transformation, and the possibility of living life on our own terms – not defined by our conditions.
Do you like this logo? What does the butterfly symbol mean to you? I'd love to hear how it resonates with your personal journey.
