Chelsea's journey to founding SOS began not in a business plan, but in a deeply personal need for community. After being diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and navigating the complex realities of living with multiple chronic illnesses, she realized a critical gap existed: a reliable, empathetic support group to help people learn how to live a full and meaningful life while effectively managing and pacing their conditions.Driven by her own experience and an innate compassion for others, Chelsea decided it would be wonderful to help others figure out the same path. With the vital partnership of Vice President Sarah Rupp, Chelsea established Spoons of Salt as a nonprofit organization to reach and support a larger community of people facing similar challenges.
