Chandra has traveled the world, from Amsterdam to Armenia, Switzerland to Spain, and all 50 United States. Having lived abroad, as well as all over the United States, she has gained a wealth of real-world experience learning how many different people relate.
She has also traveled her inner world, venturing to places known and completely uncharted. Without a guide, and equipped with tools of more than forty years of therapy, a dedication to physical fitness and a determined mindset of freeing herself from trauma that was stored in her physical body from early childhood.
It is this lived experience that makes her such a unique and important voice in the peer coaching world. She has studied PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), exploring every bit of information known about a condition that is mostly uncharted. In response to an absence of support and research, she co-created an online peer support group specific to PMDD. She now donates her time running a peer support group in
partnership with IAPMD (International Association for Premenstrual Disorders) to continue learning how ovulators around the world are coping with this condition.
She is setting out to coach OBGYNs and General Practitioners on PMDD so that they can be better informed in their treatment of PMDD warriors.
She has integrated the Pilates Method into her self-care routine in an effort to find wholeness and stability, healing herself from the chronic pain of hip dysplasia, a mechanical defect that at one time had her relying on a cane. Her dedication to physical fitness has lasted almost two decades.
Separate from these two monumental accomplishments, she chose divorce as a means of literal self-preservation, transforming the tremendous pain of separation into a life of her own design. Her travels have taught her so much, and now she is bringing that experience to sufferers throughout the world.
Living in Wichita, KS, Chandra supports older/sick folks as a caregiver, makes PMDD a prominent figure in her efforts to give back, teaches Pilates to low-income folks recovering from addiction, writes an online blog and creates art in whatever media inspires her at any given time. The life she is creating is as colorful and multi-textured as her work.
