Are you feeling overwhelmed by back to school prep for your kid with POTS?
Are you looking for some guidance on how to successfully get your kid back to school?
You’re gonna want to keep reading…free training details at the bottom! ⬇️
August is here, and the Target aisles are stocked with back to school supplies
Not only are you busy buying those #2 pencils, new backpacks, and fresh notebooks–you’re also spending your free moments trying to figure out how the heck your kid is actually going to make it through the school day. Right?
This transition from summer break to school can be a daunting one for teens and parents, so I decided to put together a free live training to help parents get clear on how they can help their kid with POTS get back to school with confidence (and not crash after week one)
In the training we will cover my 3 biggest tips to help you get clear on what you can do now to ease the transition for your kid, yourself, and the school so you can go back to work without being glued to your phone wondering when you’re going to get a sick call
If you’re looking for more support to help get your kid back to school successfully, then I invite you to join my for my FREE live training on Saturday August 12th at 10 AM Central / 11AM Eastern

Exercise may be a prescription, but it doesn’t have to be rigid and boring.
So often, I talk with clients who are told by their doctors to
- Ride a recumbent bike for 30 minutes every day
- Stick to the basics – planks, squats, and curls
- Use the rowing machine 🚣
But that’s so BORING!!!
🙅♀️ If I were your teen, I would hate that kind of exercise routine
Which is probably why your real teen with POTS *does* hate that routine or tells you that they feel terrible while they’re doing it…
🚀 It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to guess that teens aren’t going to love the idea of staring at a wall while riding a bike for an hour a day
And when teens are bored while exercising, their minds will wander and gravitate toward everything that’s happening within their bodies–like feeling light headed, noticing their heart is racing, and feeling more nauseous
Then this increased attention on symptoms just snowballs into them feeling worse for the rest of the day, and laying in bed scrolling Facebook instead of joining you for family dinner and game night 🍲
Here’s the thing–While a perfectly curated exercise plan may be necessary for baselines and research, chances are it isn’t necessary for your child’s ultimate recovery of POTS
It certainly didn’t work for me
When I was first diagnosed with POTS in high school, my doctors told me to just walk on the treadmill 🚶♀️
I was so bored and uncomfortable–I STILL remember the feeling of my heart rate skyrocketing to 200+ and my vision blurring while walking at 1 mile an hour!
That led me to hate exercise, and to avoid it like the plague
When I shifted away from the forced exercise routine, and instead did activities that were actually fun – like dance and swimming – my health finally started to improve 👍
This movement wasn’t rigid and didn’t follow a set plan, but it was fun and it kept me moving!
Meaningful movement - this was my snowball into fully recovering from POTS.
🤷♀️ Have you or your kid ever been prescribed a rigid exercise routine?
Is that working for you or are you looking to find more meaningful movement?
Send me a DM and let’s brainstorm together!
