Overview
Why join a virtual group?
Comfort of your own home! Works well with schedules and no need to travel anywhere.
Access to recordings of educational material and Zoom calls - rewind and replay.
Connect with other people who are experiencing similar symptoms. The power of community for healing is exponential!
Weekly meetings help with accountability and quicker progress toward your goals.
Save money! Compared to 1-on-1 care, groups offer a similar impact with a much lower cost.
Overview
- Groups typically meet on Monday evenings for 12 consecutive weeks, for 60 minutes.
- Each week you will be sent an in-depth educational video to watch that ties into that week's theme, and the option to ask questions during the Q&A.
- Homework time! (You'll be expected to do an exercise of some sort each week, but we will keep this part simple.)
- Option to continue working with Amber at the end of the group experience if desired.
Who is this for?
These groups are for anyone who's been impacted by chronic illness. Most group members have had a variety of conditions diagnosed, such as mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), POTS, hEDS, craniocervical instability, Lyme disease, CIRS from mold exposure, autoimmune conditions, etc.
There are two group offering options: one that factors in long-Covid and vaccine injuries, and a more general MCAS group.
When does the group meet?
Typically, groups meet on Monday evenings (United States time zone). However, depending on where participants are located, we may modify the schedule as a whole or on certain weeks to meet the needs of the majority. Private custom groups with other meeting times are also an option. All sessions are recorded in case of schedule conflicts.
When do new groups start up?
Groups are scheduled to start every 3 months. Custom groups are also available for groups of friends or family members who want to do this together at a particular time; reach out to Amber for more information on this option.

What is not included?
Not included in the price: the cost of whatever functional medicine labs you decide you want, if applicable. Some patients have a budget for this, while others do not. Some patients have already had a lot of testing and don’t need any more. The same goes for the cost of any supplements you would like- these will be individualized decisions.
Whether you've tried nearly everything
or are just starting to look at holistic care,
a virtual group may be a good fit!
Are you tired of hopping from practitioner to practitioner, only to:
-
be out a ton of money chasing tests and treatments that didn’t work,
-
be subjected to gaslighting from the medical system and labels like chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia,
-
experience narrow specialist-focused tunnel vision about certain organ systems,
-
experience despair and research fatigue,
-
feel like they identified inflammation, but not the root cause, or
-
feel like you are missing something?
You are not alone, and you’re in the right place.
This is not a traditional “support group”…
This is a group for radical transformation and healing. This is for people looking to uncover root issues and reach new levels of abundance and thriving. This group is a good fit if you are open to nervous system and emotional healing work in addition to exploring physical drivers of inflammation. Sessions will be empowering and have action steps and homework.
The facilitator will provide an inclusive and compassionate environment, but she is NOT a licensed mental health therapist, and time in group meetings will not follow a traditional group therapy model. The aim is to help you break free from the concept of the condition you’ve been diagnosed with in all ways, shapes, and forms. If you are not open to nervous system and emotional healing work, this group may not be for you.
Group Offerings
Long-Covid Group
This program is for anyone who’s been impacted by chronic illness following viral symptoms or vaccinations.

Group Testimonials
I want to thank you for all you put into this group. I wasn’t exaggerating when I said it’s been life-changing for me. To hear from others who have been through this (and got to the other end), and to learn from everything you have been through and learned, has been so incredibly helpful for me. The way you speak so confidently that there is a way to address this and get through it is very encouraging.
Amber is wonderful and warm, listens well, very thorough, explains things in depth, cares deeply about the participants, not fear-based in her approach. Approachable and clear. Very good!! Group content materials were very useful and detailed. Very appreciated and helpful!
I really liked the combination of class, materials provided, and homework. All the slides were helpful. Amber did a great job facilitating and navigating both content and questions. The topics that resonated the most were probably dysautonomia and the nervous system, and the food/diet one (that was really freeing for me to hear). For me, everything we covered was helpful. Group dynamics were good.
There’s a lot to navigate in the world of healing from chronic inflammation…
It’s miserable trying to take on healing when you’re already feeling exhausted, foggy, and overwhelmed.
I’ve been there!
For that reason, I’ve put together a program that will map it out step by step.
