Coaching grounded in real genetic data — from Ancestry, 23andMe or Promethease — with a special compass for families living with narcolepsy.
Real gene tests, briefly described — toggle technical view for SNPs & genosets.
F5 · Factor V Leiden
Gene variant raising clot risk. Matters for the pill, pregnancy, long flights.
Genoset: gs199 (heterozygous F5 Leiden)
CYP19A1 · Aromatase
Enzyme converting testosterone to estrogen. Shapes hormone balance and mood.
Genoset: gs308 (lower aromatase activity)
MTHFR · Folate cycle
Activates folate (B9). A variant may need methylated folate, not folic acid.
Genoset: gs181 (compound heterozygous)
HLA-DQB1 · Sleep onset
Genoset confirms HLA-DQB1*06:02 positivity, consistent with Type 1 narcolepsy.
Present in >90% of PWN
FADS1 · Omega-3 metabolism
Reduced conversion of plant-based omega-3s — shapes dietary strategy.
Genoset: gs136 (reduced delta-5 desaturase)
COMT · Stress & dopamine
High-activity COMT variant linked to stress reactivity and oestrogen metabolism.
Genoset: gs179 (high COMT activity)
The orexin system, HLA-DQB1*06:02, and how genes shape sleep. Coaching for persons with narcolepsy and their families — navigating diagnosis, daily life, and genetic understanding.
As the mother of a PWN, I bring lived understanding alongside scientific rigour. Sessions available in English, French, and Swedish.
HLA-DQB1*06:02 is present in >90% of Type 1 narcolepsy cases, yet only ~25% of the general population carry it. Understanding your genoset can be a powerful step in the diagnostic journey.

Chemist, coach & mother to a PWN
I am a certified analytical chemist with a deep personal and professional interest in epigenetics and genetic health. As the mother of a person with narcolepsy, I understand first-hand the challenges of navigating a complex diagnosis.
I believe genetic data should be readable by everyone — not just researchers. That's why I coach individuals through their raw results, translating science into everyday insight.
