Tick Boot Camp’s guest today is Shona Curley. Shona Curley is a 45-year-old woman from San Francisco. In 2014, she was bitten by a tick, but told by her doctors not to worry unless she developed a fever or rash. One year later, she began to experience constant flu-like symptoms, spent weeks in bed, and was forced to miss out on her young children’s lives. She eventually made an appointment with a Lyme specialist, and her healing journey began. She now balances her health with working part-time and being an active mother. If you’d like to learn more about Shona Curley’s tick disease journey and how she hopes to help Lymies through her guided meditations, then tune now!
