Planning a vacation should be exciting, not exhausting. But for families like mine, where accessibility isn’t just a preference but a necessity, travel planning often feels like putting together a puzzle with a lot of missing pieces.
I’m a mom to three incredible kids, one of whom is a full-time wheelchair user. Over the years, we’ve traveled together — celebrating wins, facing setbacks, and learning the hard way that accessibility information is often buried, vague, or missing altogether. The frustration of trying to piece together a trip that worked for all of us lit a fire in me. I knew I wasn’t the only one struggling, and I knew something had to change.
That’s why I became a Travel Advisor and that’s why I pursued becoming a Certified Accessible Travel Advocate through Special Needs Group / Special Needs at Sea. This designation isn’t just a badge — it’s a promise. A promise to make travel easier, more inclusive, and more luxurious for those who’ve been overlooked for far too long.
Why Cruising Is the Ideal Accessible Vacation
When it comes to accessible travel, cruising stands out amongst all the options! Ships from major cruise lines are built with standardized ADA compliance, offering peace of mind that’s hard to find elsewhere. From accessible staterooms and public areas to onboard entertainment and dining, everything is designed to be inclusive.
As a Certified Accessible Travel Advocate, I work directly with Special Needs Group to arrange mobility equipment rentals that are delivered right to your stateroom on embarkation day and picked up at the end of your cruise. Whether you need a scooter, wheelchair, walker, oxygen, or even a patient lift, I make sure it’s there when you need it. This way you can focus on your vacation, not logistics.
Whether you use a mobility aid, walk at a gentler pace, or simply appreciate a little extra comfort during your travels, I ensure the right solutions are in place before you arrive — so you can relax and enjoy every moment.
Travel Should Feel Like Joy — Not a Battle
Whether you're a retiree dreaming of a bucket-list cruise, a couple seeking respite, or a family navigating mobility challenges, you deserve a travel experience that feels effortless, luxurious, and joyful.
As someone who’s lived the struggle and found the solutions, I’m here to make sure accessibility is never an afterthought — it’s built into your journey from the very start. With the right planning, the right equipment, and the right advocate in your corner, travel becomes what it should be: a source of joy, connection, and unforgettable memories.
