Bio

Hello, my name is Danyell and I'm a 46 year old female born with a disability called Osteogenesis Imperfecta,  or brittle bones. I'm a full time wheelchair user and understand well the struggle with chronic pain and medical issues.  I love to be of service and will listen with compassion and love.

The breath in mindfulness
Mindfulness Center / by Danyell

...See more I love mindfulness and meditation in daily activities. One of my favorite mindfulness practices centers around breathwork. I've done a dozen or so Breathwork Ceremonies with hundreds of others online but I'm curious to know what works for you in a daily awareness practice? I'm looking forward to hearing how you all consciously breathe!

Aging with a disability
Disability Support / by Danyell
Last post
 August 7th
...See more Hello everyone! I read a lot of post from younger disabled people who struggle with adjusting. My heart goes out to you all because living with a disability is not for the weak! I was born with a rare condition called Osteogenesis Imperfecta and I'm about to turn 47 in a few months. This condition starts out rough, then usually stabilizes through adulthood, and slowly declines with age and hormone fluctuations in middle ago. Basically I have the bones of an 80 year old in my 47 year old body. There is barely any medical support for those of us aging with this condition because it's still considered a pediatric condition and most people with OI didn't live past the age of 30. Surprise! There's a huge population of us aging now with barely any support in the medical community. I've actually had doctors tell me there's nothing they can do and I'm lucky I'm still alive, so basically stop your b*&#$ing! I have a lot of chronic pain from hundreds of broken bones over my lifetime and I'm not longer able to work or drive. I'm learning to accept these new limitations and would like to connect and offer support for anyone who resonates with my story. We are stronger as a community! ❤️
