Journeys With My Body vs The Patio — Lyme Community

My Experience

JWMB is such a wonderfully safe and fun environment for women of all ages to share the journeys and obstacles we encounter through our lives and with your bodies. It’s a wonderful place to find other women experiencing similar or new experiences that then bring the topic to life with engagement, stories and advice. So happy I joined and am learning more and more about womanhood and myself through this community!

Accepting

I really connect with this group and feel I can be myself and share my experiences.

Heidi's community is a rare gem

I joined the Journeys with My Body community a few months after the loss of my father, and I'm so grateful I did. During one of the most difficult times in my life, Heidi was incredibly warm and welcoming. Her community provided a safe space for me to explore how grief was impacting my body. Heidi offered wonderful, accessible ways to help me check in with my body and honor its needs during a time when I was struggling to take care of myself. Her approaches are practical, actionable, and they truly work—not just theory, but real tools I could use immediately. Beyond her excellent facilitation, Heidi is remarkably generous. She invited me to share my work around helping people reduce sugar with her community, and the experience was wonderful. The workshop participants were engaged and receptive, which speaks volumes about the kind of community she has cultivated. In a sea of different approaches to self-love and wellness, Heidi's community is a rare gem. She was pivotal in helping me move through my grief and heal. I can't recommend this community highly enough.

Caring & Supportive Community

A growing group of Lyme patients who openly share their experiences. I have received a lot of helpful information from several members who have been fighting this disease for years. It's a great source of knowledgable people who truly care and want to help. The weekly virtual meeting is especially terrific. I have met some really wonderful folks on this site and I especially enjoy getting to know them and their stories more intimately through the private chat option. The site is well managed by its creator, who is a kind, compassionate and caring individual. I'm glad to be a part of this group.

A Place of Understanding

The group is for folks who are facing medical challenges, particularly Lyme and related conditions, to build a supportive community. We want to be uplifting to one another, not create more negativity. The group is new, but so far it’s been amazing to see how we have connected across the country with our shared experiences and hopes for recovery. My third week joining the call was really helpful.
