Sorcha Slyvester-Martin from diagnosis to drugs and discovery. When she was three days old, she was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. She says she had several near-death experiences. Her Grandmother, her legal guardian raised Sorcha and was her rock.

Then, after her grandmother died, she struggled. Sorcha started using drugs to numb herself from the struggles of her physical and mental illnesses. This went on for about two years.

Then she focused on getting healthy. Today, she relies on movement, nutrition, and self-care to stay present and optimize her quality of life. She’s passionate about raising awareness about addiction and holistic treatment of health of wellness among the chronic illness community. She is also a certified health and wellness coach. Sorcha works with an organization called, Face it Together. A nonprofit that helps others impacted by addiction to get well.
