hey! my name is jasmin (she/her) and i am 26 years old and i live on kaurna land in australia. i founded babes back in 2022, right at the beginning of my own mobility aid journey.

i began using mobility aids on an ambulatory basis after being diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and ehlers danlos syndrome. when i was going through the early stages of getting used to my aids and becoming more confident in using them, i heavily relied on absorbing the content that other mobility aid users were making. it made me feel much less alone in my own experience, and reminded me that i am valid regardless of whether i need my chair or not. i wondered whether i could create a safe place for other people going through similar experiences to gather and feel less alone, and thus, babes with mobility aids was born!

today, babes has grown into this wonderful community of people from all around the world, and i’ve had the immense privilege of sharing and elevating so many people’s stories!
