My name is Toby Lyn

I am a momma, a wife, a sister, a daughter & a friend (& a pretty good hugger.)

My children and my husband are my reasons to try, to be, to give when I have nothing else to give. I will walk thru all the fires with you.

My career path has been a life of dance classes, rehearsals, performances. With thee most supportive family who encouraged me to dance around all day, and mentors who made me believe I could get paid for it. I have been teaching dance for 25 years, to the sweetest dancers, they are truly glorious, and I am grateful for them.

I need help with movement, it seems strange for me to not trust my body like I once could. I have always cherished my abilities on what my body could do. I even placed my value on it. Lots of therapy has taught me better but, I miss moving freely, and I believe Alinker will help give me that motivation and freedom I so desperately desire.

I want to be independent to move freely. Help achieving that goal would mean having a Alinker to assist me in my journey's.

Most importantly, I also want to be part of a community of wellness makers.

I feel so loved, so big... but in the quiet times I sometimes feel alone.

Watching an interview of Selma Blair after her diagnosis and treatments she said "My diagnosis is not a tragedy." 

It has truly resonated with me & it is part of my daily meditations. Hearing this, and drawing energies from my family, my dancers, along with their beautiful families has truly been my mantra. Our scars don't define us, we get too.

My mind can make & create, and thankfully many say my MS has been my superpower. As an artist being vulnerable is important, it makes good art I have found. I am learning that with my vulnerability also means asking for help.

Me asking for help sounds like this... my name is Toby, I have MSjust found out 4.15.22 (turns out for 15 years now.) I feel sad sometimes I cannot trust my body, but I feel more gratitude because I finally have the truth. I have adopted the OMS lifestyle (Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis) & I need an Alinker to help me continue my journey.

With love, with grace, and gratitude thank you for reading my story, praying & meditating for my family and helping us.
