Dancing with Disease

Dancing with Disease is the story of a woman diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease just when she is starting to feel grounded in life. As a new mother she must find courage in moments of intense fear and unknowing.


Instead of trying to understand the intricacies of a complex illness, she turns to her guideposts: motherhood, marriage and fitness.


Her healing process is complicated by a new career as a teacher that is ever-changing, on top of symptoms that appear seemingly out of nowhere.


This is a story of resilience, and of learning to sway to a beat you never chose, but grow to appreciate.
