Hi, I'm Nikki, a rare disease mom just like you!

When my son Miles was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a rare neuromuscular disorder, at just eighteen months old, everything changed. I was suddenly thrust into the world of rare disease parenting, caregiving, and advocacy.

That’s why I created Rare Mamas®—to offer strategies, strength, support, and sisterhood to fellow rare moms. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or years into the journey, I want to help you navigate this path with bold courage, fearless faith, and unrelenting hope.

Let’s awaken the inner fighter within, build community, and rise together!
