Solace HealthReviews of solace.health

Jenny helps find doctors, resources, help, funding.

At 14, chronic illness didn’t just interrupt the life I had—it dismantled it. Piece by piece, it took school, friendships, independence, and replaced them with waiting rooms, paperwork, and long stretches of being alone. I spent years navigating a system that wasn’t built for my complexity, fighting for every single inch I could get, and it still wasn’t enough. I’ve been to over 15 institutions. I’ve tried everything I was told would help: doctors, surgeries, treatments, social workers, non-profit advocates, programs. But in my experience, the medical system is strained in ways that affect everyone inside it. By the time I found solace, I wasn’t hopeful—I was desperate. Truly desperate. There wasn’t quality of life left to protect, only something to salvage. My Solace advocate was the first to show me a different way. Not one where everything is a fight, where the quiet implication is that “if you were stronger, or more organized, or wanted to be better, things would work out”-- no, not that version. In the past month, I’ve gotten more done than I had in years. Not because I suddenly became capable of doing more, but because I’m not carrying it alone anymore. The calls, the scheduling, the medications, the insurance—the endless, invisible work of trying to stay alive inside a system that exhausts you—someone else is helping hold it. I’m not healed, but my life is so much better. In a system that can feel cold and impossible to navigate alone, Solace is the best resource I’ve found for getting through. They meet me right where I am; in addition to their resourcing, they seem to have an integrative approach to supporting– which is exactly what my chronic conditions have required. I hope Solace gets recognized for what it’s actually doing—for the kind of impact that doesn’t always show up in numbers, but in people like me getting pieces of their lives back. I hope Solace continue to grow and reach more people– everyone deserves to live without as much suffering, even if that means they need a little extra support.

Beyond expectations

My advocate has been very helpful

Emily Bodily listened to my story, embraced and understood my needs and has been working feverishly to accomplish the mission.

My health care advocate has been a 100% helpful to me in navigating the health care system.

The service i have received by Michelle Cole has been outstanding. She has provided me with a letter to my doctor aranged appointments for me and kept in constant contact to support my needs and researched many avenues of other topics to use as my advocate for the past 4 months.

Thank you Solace for assigning me Kelly R. She totally understands my medical situation and if I didn't have her, I don't know that I'd still be here. She takes the weight of being sick off of my shoulders. She helps with everything I need but I'm too overwhelmed to deal with. She's an excellent listener. I can always count on her!!!
