Pat was diagnosed with scleroderma in 2013 at the age of 60.  She had practiced yoga at various times in her life and returned to a regular practice in 2019 to help manage her symptoms.  Pat took the Yoga for Scleroderma Teacher Training to expand her own practice and then joined the Yoga for Scleroderma team as our photographer.  

Pat is a landscape and wildlife photographer with her first book, Dream It, Believe It, Manatee Patty published in 2019.  She takes photographs at Yoga for Scleroderma events and allows Yoga for Scleroderma to use her landscape photos from all seven continents on our YouTube channel.

Pat is now inspired to share her history with scleroderma and the improvements yoga has made in her mobility and digestion to bring hope to other scleroderma warriors.
