For much of her childhood, Natalia was a frequent visitor to doctors' offices, hospitals, and specialist appointments. She faced autoimmune issues, severe allergies, asthma, Lyme disease, chronic migraines, and a range of unexplained symptoms that often left her searching for answers. After years of testing and uncertainty, she was ultimately diagnosed with POTS at age 14. While receiving a diagnosis was an important milestone, it also revealed how many people with chronic illnesses struggle to be understood, supported, and believed. Her experience showed her the importance of awareness, advocacy, and community—especially for those navigating conditions that are often misunderstood. She founded POTSAbility to help bridge that gap; through education, storytelling, spotlights, and fundraising, POTSAbility works to raise awareness about POTS and empower individuals living with chronic illnesses. The goal is simple: to ensure that no one feels alone in their journey and to create a future where understanding and support are accessible to all.
