Our Mission: Guiding Your Way to Better Days

My journey to founding North Star Therapeutics began not just with professional training, but with a personal mission.

I've seen firsthand, in my own life and with loved ones, how chronic conditions can create a profound barrier to happiness and quality of life. In my professional career, I've seen countless patients feel stuck, lacking the resources and skilled support needed to make meaningful, lasting lifestyle changes.

Navigating chronic illness is no easy feat, reminiscent of land navigation. While serving in the Army Medical Corps, I became quite familiar with “land nav”, an exercise where two partnered soldiers must find their way to a specific coordinate in unknown terrain using nothing but a compass, protractor, and terrain map. A task all the more daunting for lack of established paths, rough terrain, and unpredictable weather. In my experience, there is nothing quite like the helplessness and isolation of being lost in the woods. Many who experience chronic illness find themselves in this very position, alone in uncharted territory, unsure where to go from here. As in “land nav”, having a partner on this journey makes a world of difference. Let North Star Therapeutics be that partner!

Together, we will reflect on your values and priorities, create practical goals, and plot a course of action. With grace and grit, we will navigate every obstacle that comes our way. The journey will be neither straight-forward nor easy-going; however, you will not be alone.

At the core of North Star Therapeutics is a belief that you have the capacity to change your life for the better, and a commitment to helping you find your way there.
