Aidan is the Founder of Together Through Pain. She was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) after a sports injury in her teens turned into something much bigger than anyone expected. Since then, she has undergone 11 surgeries, some related and others not, including two spinal cord stimulator implants. She continues to navigate life with a body that doesn’t always cooperate.
Living with chronic pain from a young age shaped not only how Aidan sees the world, but how she connects with others who feel isolated, misunderstood, or overlooked by the healthcare system.
Aidan holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a certificate in Health Sciences. She combines personal insight with academic knowledge to create a space that is real, honest, and grounded in empathy. Her goal is simple: to make sure no one has to go through this alone.
Together Through Pain envisions a future where individuals living with chronic pain and chronic illness, along with their caregivers and supporters, have consistent access to a safe, inclusive, and compassionate peer support network.
We aim to reduce social isolation, foster meaningful connections, and create spaces where lived experience
