Her story
A life shaped by resilience and care
Vita has lived with RSD/CRPS for more than 35 years, alongside fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, and other painful conditions. Her work is grounded in the understanding that pain changes a life—but it does not have to erase the possibility of meaning, connection, or joy.
As a rehabilitation counselor, author, mentor, and advocate, Vita brings a compassionate perspective to the everyday realities of chronic pain. She believes people deserve support that honors both the difficulty of their experience and the parts of life they still want to reach for.

Connection matters
