I’M SO HAPPY YOU’RE HERE.

I’m Michelle, nice to meet you!

Starting in 2012, my world was slowly turned upside-down with the steady decline of my health. There were many years of uncertainty, misdiagnoses, and feeling like I was the only person my age experiencing such struggles. But in 2018 when I discovered the online chronic illness community, everything changed!

I opened Spoonie Sister Shop as a chronic illness awareness apparel & gift shop in October 2018. After a whirlwind 5 years of encouraging and supporting thousands upon thousands of fellow spoonies with my apparel, I was ready to make my designs more accessible. So in September 2023, Spoonie Sister Shop switched to a chronic illness awareness clipart/graphics shop!

I also now help empower fellow spoonies to be their own boss through a successful Etsy shop with my self-paced online course: Etsy Grow to Pro. Thank you so much for stopping by, and thank you for supporting a small spoonie business!
