Lucinda was born with a lightness about her.  When Lucinda’s parents would come to wake her up for school, she would wake up smiling. They were pleasantly confused, and have gone along with this joy ever since.  While giddiness comes naturally to her, she also has learned the importance of relentlessly showing up to the habits, spaces, and communities that make you feel like YOU. 

The vision of Giddy by Nature came about when Lucinda fell sick in college. Her junior year at Brown University she became bedridden with debilitating fatigue.  She had to take a full year off from school and spent much of it bedridden and seeing doctors; even when she returned a year later to complete college, she was still struggling with her health (a ten minute walk to class was difficult for her).  

When Lucinda’s world flipped upside down - she struggled as she couldn’t access the outlets that made her feel like herself (friends, school, lacrosse). Not only were her physical symptoms debilitating, but going from being a high performance athlete and student to being bed-ridden at home ruptured life as she knew it.
