πŸ’› Who I Am
Hi, I’m Melissa β€” mama of four, author, YouTuber, and chronic illness advocate.
I live with hypermobility and ME/CFS, and I’ve spent over a decade creating tools, stories, and
support for people like us: people navigating pain, fatigue, and everyday life with care, courage, and
pacing.
