Peer Advisory Board


Sophia Davidson

Sophia Davidson is a freshman at the University of Michigan. In the summer of 2016, she fractured her leg and developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). As a part of her recovery, she spent time in a multidisciplinary pain rehabilitation program, which included physical therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Sophia joined The Comfort Ability® Peer Advisory Board several years ago in order to be a voice of comfort, reason, and hope for those with chronic pain. She now leads The Comfort Ability® Peer Advisory Board board with the goal of making her story more accessible, spreading awareness on a larger level, and breaking down the stigma that comes with having an “invisible illness.” In the future, Sophia aspires to become a pediatric plastic and reconstructive surgeon and work both locally and abroad. In her free time, she enjoys writing, volunteering, and traveling.

Fiona Chace Donahue graduated from Mount Holyoke College with a degree in neuroscience and she currently works as a nursing assistant on a neurosurgery unit while applying to graduate school. She plans on pursuing a career in healthcare with a focus in traumatic brain injury. Fiona attended the Comfort Ability® Program workshop over eight years ago and joined The Comfort Ability® Advisory Board because she wants to help empower and support others while sharing what she’s learned about how to manage chronic (and often invisible) pain. In her free time, Fiona enjoys paddle boarding, knitting, and exploring new places.

Bridget McPhillips

My name is Bridget McPhillips, I am 16 years old and a junior in high school. I developed complex regional pain syndrome in 2019, and spent around 7 months on crutches. I spent time in a pain rehabilitation program and learned strategies through physical therapy, occupational therapy and psychology to help me manage my pain the best way possible for me. After joining The Comfort Ability® Peer Advisory Board in 2021, my goal is to help motivate others with chronic pain to try new active coping strategies and learn how to manage their pain in the best possible way for them! I want everyone to be able to live their lives to the fullest, despite chronic pain.
