About me
My name is Kassem. For over 10 years, I pushed through life navigating chronic fatigue, brain fog, and a nervous system that felt stuck in overdrive. Rest never was restful. My mind was uneasy, my body was drained, and I couldn’t understand why nothing conventional seemed to help.
That journey led me into deep learning, unlearning, and healing. Today, I’m a lifestyle medicine advocate with over a decade’s worth of experience in managing ME/CFS specializing in nervous system regulation, somatic practices, and holistic energy recovery.

My Approach
My approach focuses on understanding the unique challenges of chronic fatigue and creating personalized plans that support recovery, resilience, and sustainable lifestyle improvements. I believe that healing is not about doing more. Often, it is about learning how to work with your body rather than against it. My goal is to help you build habits that support your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing while respecting your current energy levels.
I employ a multi-faceted coaching strategy with deep empathy and compassion.My coaching is:
- Gentle but powerful – You don’t need to push harder, you need to feel safer.
- Whole-person focused – Mind, body, emotions, and environment.
- Body-first – Working with your nervous system, not against it.
- Trauma-informed – Whether you’re managing ME/CFS, burnout, stress, or just feeling “off,” I create a safe, personalized space to explore what your body needs and how to heal sustainably.
