Sparky Meets PENNSYLVANIA

Natalie: TN Warrior, Advocate & Creative Entrepreneur 

Natalie is a passionate Trigeminal Neuralgia advocate based in Pennsylvania, known for her unwavering support and uplifting spirit. She offers compassionate phone support to fellow TN warriors, always ready to listen and encourage those navigating the challenges of facial pain.

In September, Natalie hosted Sparky the TN Traveling Bear for a heartwarming visit. Together, they attended “Hard to Say”, a comedy show by TN warrior Kyle Ayers, celebrating resilience through laughter and shared experience.

Outside of advocacy, Natalie channels her creativity into her Etsy shop, CheekyMoss, where she designs spooky-cute fashion and accessories that reflect her bold, whimsical style.
Natalie’s blend of empathy, strength, and artistic flair makes her a cherished member of the TN community and a shining example of courage in action.
I  began experiencing mysterious toothaches and sinus pain in 2018. Through many doctor visits and a sinus surgery, I was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia on my right side. Treatment has been a journey of trying different medications, injections, and taking care of any other health issues that pop up.  I believe that taking care of your entire health really matters when you have a chronic illness as sensitive as TN. 

I have my BFA in Crafts and Metalsmithing and I now work as a jeweler making engagement rings and wedding bands.  When not at work I can’t help crafting even more, delving into crocheting, sewing, etc.  Reading and puzzling are also ways I like to relax.

It was so nice having Sparky visit and think about the time and care Marsha put into making him, along with the others who have gotten a visit!
