Sabrina Cuddy

Intake Coordinator

Sabrina is a health educator in the San Francisco Bay Area with HCM, giving back to the community by talking to those who call the HCMA or participate in our Facebook Group. She also creates educational materials to share with HCM patients and works behind the scenes on HCMA projects.

It took 35 years from her first HCM symptoms until she finally received the correct diagnosis. Within a few months of her diagnosis, she had a myectomy. This experience makes it easy for her to relate to what people who contact the HCMA are going through.

In her non-work life, she is a mom of adult children and a theater costumer who performs onstage sometimes, works backstage a lot, and loves performing at the Dickens Christmas Fair in San Francisco.

I am a health educator specializing in women's health, currently working as a pregnancy expert at Pregistry.com. I have many years of experience teaching prenatal health, childbirth, breastfeeding, and infant care as well as acting as a doula in the San Francisco Bay Area. I hold a BA in Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Master's of Public Health from San Jose State University.

In my other life, I am a mom (the last two just turned 18) and a costumer who performs onstage sometimes, works backstage a lot, and loves performing at the Dickens Christmas Fair in San Francisco.

After 35 years of misdiagnosis of symptoms, I was finally correctly diagnosed with HOCM and referred to the COE at Stanford where they did a quick trial of medications and 9 months later I had a myectomy. I couldn't walk half a block without being so short of breath I had to stop before my surgery. The surgery was life-changing for me and almost 4 years later I have very few symptoms.

I am very LGBTQIA friendly and respectful of all. I hope to use my skills as a health educator to run discussion group meetings to give back to the wonderful HCMA community and help people.
