What is Osteogenesis Imperfecta?

Osteogenesis Imperfecta (O.I.), aka Brittle Bone Disease, is a rare deal. It’s not just about fragile bones—this thing’s a collagen disorder. We’ve spotted about 18 different types of O.I. out there. And let me tell you, the severity? Well, that can swing big time, even within each type.

Living with O.I. isn’t a walk in the park, that’s for sure. It brings its own set of challenges, but you know what’s incredible? People worldwide are really making it work! They’re thriving and doing their thing, showing that O.I. won’t hold them back.

Join an #OILife GROUP Meeting!

The #OILife GROUP meeting is the ultimate social spot for the O.I. community! We’re all about diving deep into the topics that truly enhance the quality of life for everyone in the O.I. crew.

Imagine this: you, me, and folks from around the world, all hanging out in a Zoom room, sharing insights and experiences, and having fun while doing it! It’s that awesome! Each meeting features a focused topic that we explore together, but we also keep the floor open for everyone to voice what’s on their mind and share what’s going on in their lives.

Mark your calendar for the 3rd Wednesday of each month, because that’s when the magic happens. We kick off at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT. It’s your monthly dose of connection, support, and growth with our incredible O.I. community. See you there!

Once you attend a meeting, you’ll be given the opportunity to join the private online #OILife GROUP Community to stay connected with everyone!

Fitness + O.I.

As one of the few Certified Personal Trainers with O.I. who works 1-on-1 with fellow O.I.ers, it’s been my mission and passion since 2017 to make exercise an accessible priority to every O.I. community member. It’s easy to access guidance and coaching through my online programs.
