Chasing Wellness is a blog written by Jamie Holloway.
In 2008 Jamie was diagnosed with Vasculitis, specifically, Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis, or Wegener’s; in addition to Rheumatoid Arthritis. Her positive attitude helped her get past fear and anger. She found peace in the fact that there was a name for her disease & someone who could help her & believed in her. She is an advocate for those she knows and an inspiration to many. She believes that having a strong team is vital to being well.
In 2017 Jamie joined our company as a partner and proudly took the crown of Research Manager. She is an important part of Our Team and was excited to help. Subscribe to her blog @ JamieChasesButterflies.com.
