Crooked Path Studios

I found myself calculating how far I was from the nearest hospital while driving home from work. Again. My throat was swelling; hives were spreading across my skin. Nobody could explain why I was suddenly allergic to everything. All my labs were normal. I saw the life I'd built slipping away.

Eventually I was diagnosed with MCAS and Sarcoidosis. Like many women living with chronic illness, I found myself grieving who I was and learning to live with uncertainty. Then a friend told me: "Stop scrolling symptoms and go in your studio and make something." That's when my creative practice became my well-being tool.

Crooked Path Studios is for women 50+ who are done with toxic positivity, quick fixes, and wellness clichés. Through art and honest conversations, we explore life with chronic illness and all its emotions.

Living with MCAS, POTS, Long COVID, EDS, autoimmune disease, or another zebra disease? You're welcome here.

No fixing or powering through. 

Just wayfinding.
