Her story started at 13 & has continued to today at the age of 36 with multiple surgeries along the way.

She’s lived through pain, while discovering her strengths along the way & just how resistant she is.

She discuss her first brace fitting of being rapped in plaster & have it be sawed off to her updated 3D current brace.

She curves started in the high 50’s & low 40’s & would progress into the 60’s.

She would have hardware taken out before she was even fused.

Being told that “Yoga is hokis pokis” there was no pilates to help.

After a year post surgery & being in pain, she would return to have hardware taken out. She started to notice that her body was twisted.

Not being able to attend her high school graduation because the school was not ‘handicapped friendly’ friendly.

After 1 of many surgeries, she was pain free able attend college, having the best time. She was working out, running….

I felt like i had my life back.

Finding a doctor who held her hand, who was humble.

She was struggling with her spine, to the point that she started to fall forward.

Having her last surgery in NY during covid, going home, she fell down the stairs.

Her surgeries were complex but her determination is fierce.
