Hi, I’m Chyna.
I wear a few hats — parent, podcast host, advocate and everyday human navigating life with a dynamic disability. My work is grounded in both personal experience and professional expertise, and I’m passionate about rethinking the way we approach accessibility, inclusion, and belonging.
I live with hyermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and other overlapping conditions, which means chronic pain and fluctuating symptoms are a part of my daily reality. For a long time, my disability was invisible to most people. That experience of being questioned, underestimated, or met with disbelief is what fuels a big part of my mission: to bring visibility to invisible and dynamic disabilities, and to create cultures where people don’t have to hide parts of themselves to feel safe and included.
Professionally, I’ve worked as an Employment Facilitator, supporting job seekers with diverse support needs, and consulting with employers on how to build more equitable and accessible workplaces. My focus areas included neurodivergent inclusion, trauma-informed practices, invisible disabilities, and disability justice.
Personally, I’m a storyteller. Whether through my podcast, blog, or potentially, future speaking engagements, I share real experiences, practical insights, and a bit of humour along the way. I aim to have an approach that is down-to-earth, conversational, and always centred on human connection.
If you’re here because you’re curious about my life, wonderings, and happenings — welcome, I’m glad you found me. If you’re here because you’re looking for a consultant, support, or speaker to help your team grow in equity and inclusion — I’d love to connect.
PHILOSOPHYI’ve always felt aligned with the marginalized, shaped by my lived experience as a BIPOC, queer woman with a dynamic, invisible disability. My mantra is ‘know better, do better’ — a reminder that it’s our responsibility to stay humble, keep learning, and strive to be more compassionate and accountable than we were yesterday.
A lot of what I share here comes straight from lived experience.
I live with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (plus a few other overlapping conditions), and I’ve spent a lot of my life trying to navigate systems — workplaces, healthcare, society in general — that really weren’t designed with bodies and brains like mine in mind.
Living this way has shaped how I see everything: accessibility, inclusion, rest, care, and what it actually means to feel like you belong somewhere.
Mostly, I’m just here learning out loud, telling the truth about what it’s like, and hoping it makes someone else feel a little less alone in it all.
