Understanding Burning Mouth Syndrome
Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is a perplexing and often misunderstood condition that can make every day feel like an uphill battle.
Many healthcare practitioners are unfamiliar with BMS, making it challenging to diagnose and treat.
For those who live with it, the experience can be disorienting and frustrating.
​
BMS manifests as a persistent burning, tingling, or numbing sensation in the mouth that can also have a metallic or mucosal taste, even though everything may appear normal on the surface.
For some, the discomfort is mild but unrelenting, while for others, it can be severe enough to disrupt sleep, affect taste, and interfere with daily life.
What makes BMS even more elusive is that it doesn’t have a single cause—hormonal changes, nerve damage, and nutritional deficiencies have all been suggested as potential factors.
But the reality is, each person's journey with BMS is unique.
​
I know what it’s like—because I live it.
​
Five years ago, I believed I had my health under control.
But like many with rare chronic conditions, my body had other plans.
After being diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases, I started feeling a strange, hard to describe burning sensation in my mouth.
It began as a mild annoyance inside my upper lip, but slowly expanded to my bottom lip as well, making it a constant companion in my daily life.
​
I’ve spent years trying to understand and manage my symptoms—working with multiple doctors, specialists and practitioners from all kinds of modalities.
I also conducted my own research, and experimented with lots of lifestyle changes.
And while I haven’t yet found a definitive cure, I’ve learned a lot along the way.
I know firsthand what it’s like to feel unheard and misunderstood, to be told “it’s all in your head,” or that there’s nothing more that can be done.
​
But I also know what it’s like to turn that frustration into resilience.
​
Over time, I discovered how to not only manage my symptoms but thrive despite them.
That journey is what led me to become a health and wellness coach.
I’m here to offer you support, empathy, and the insights I’ve gained from walking this path myself.
​
I am a health coach who understands your struggle.
​
I won’t promise you a miracle cure, because one doesn’t exist—yet.
I will offer you guidance and tools to build resilience, empower you to make lifestyle changes that can improve your well-being, and help you feel more in control of your health.
​
I’ve been where you are, and I understand the ups and downs, the small victories and the setbacks.
​
I’m here to help you find your way through it, with personalized coaching that supports your unique journey toward relief and better health.
