Jaisa Sulit (she/her/siya) is an author and neuro-rehab occupational therapist who lives and works in Tkaronto. Her parents immigrated to Turtle Island from the islands colonially known as the Philippines. After a motorcycle accident left Jaisa with a spinal cord injury and paralysis from the waist down, Jaisa's healing quest led her on a path of re-indigenizing her colonially shaped understanding of what medicine can be. In 2018, she published an Amazon bestselling book "Purpose in Paralysis: From Chronic Pain to Universal Gain" which tells the story of how Jaisa learned to walk and stand in her truth. Jaisa now teaches medical qigong, mindfulness and self-compassion as practices that prevent burnout and support our self-care for collective care and resiliency.
