Our Story

Adaptive athleisure with purpose. Made for every body, designed for empowerment.


Our Founder’s Story

Self Inspired Apparel® was founded by Dr. Sue May, a disabled veteran whose personal journey with arthritis and chronic health conditions revealed a critical gap in the fashion industry, adaptive clothing that didn’t sacrifice style for function.

After years of struggling with buttons, zippers, and restrictive clothing that made dressing a daily challenge, Dr. Sue realized that if she was facing these obstacles, millions of other women were too. As a woman of faith and a servant leader, she set out to create a brand that would restore dignity, independence, and confidence to women navigating similar challenges.

What began as a personal mission became a movement. Self Inspired Apparel® was born from the belief that every woman deserves clothing that works with her body, not against it, and that adaptive fashion can be beautiful, bold, and empowering.

Today, Dr. Sue leads a brand committed to serving women with disabilities, chronic illnesses, mobility challenges, and anyone who believes that fashion should adapt to them, not the other way around.

Our Purpose

To empower women with adaptive, stylish athleisure that combines comfort, dignity, and accessibility, so every woman can dress with confidence and independence, regardless of her body’s abilities.

Our Vision

A world where fashion is inclusive, adaptive design is the standard, not the exception, and every woman can dress with independence, confidence, and joy.
