A Mother’s Perspective on Pediatric Orthotics: Kristen Winzeler’s Story of Faith and Strength

Rachael Auyer Season 1 Episode 10

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Kristen Winzeler, mother of Grayson, to hear her family’s inspiring journey. Grayson was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and neurodevelopmental delays, all caused by an in utero stroke. Kristen shares openly about Grayson’s diagnoses, the critical role of orthotic intervention, and the many challenges families face when navigating insurance and care.

But at the heart of her story is something even deeper: the unwavering faith she and her husband have carried through every step of this journey. Kristen reflects on how the Lord has had Grayson’s life in His hands from the very beginning, and how their faith has not only sustained them but also grown stronger in the face of trials.

She also speaks candidly about marriage, parenting, and balance. From keeping her relationship strong with her husband, to ensuring their daughter feels equally loved and seen while caring for a child with a disability.

Kristen and Grayson have been part of the Alliance Prosthetics & Orthotics family for several years, and also work with Tender Ones Therapy Services. Their story is a testament to resilience, community, and the incredible strength that comes from walking by faith.

Whether you are a parent, caregiver, or simply someone seeking encouragement, Kristen’s words will remind you of the power of hope, love, and faith through every season of life.
