CHRONIC ILLNESS MENTOR

Hey, I'm Em!

I’m a 36 year old Aussie mama who knows firsthand the challenges of navigating life with a chronic condition. Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis as a teenager, I’ve spent over 18 years learning how to embrace resilience, purpose, and joy amid the ups and downs.

Now, my mission is to help women like you:

Find emotional balance

Your Guide to Thriving with Chronic Illness

Meet Em...

Hi, I'm Em! I'm a chronic illness mentor and counsellor, living with MS for 18 years. I understand the challenges – and I’m here to help you navigate your journey with empathy and practical tools.

My Story:

My life changed when I was diagnosed with MS at the age of 19. The initial shock, the overwhelming uncertainty… I've been there.

For years, I focused on nutrition, but I realised my true passion was helping women like you navigate the emotional rollercoaster of chronic illness. That’s why I became a counsellor.

I'm not just a mentor; I'm someone who gets it. I know the isolation, the self-doubt, the constant juggling act.

A Holistic Approach to life with chronic illness

My Approach

I believe in a supportive, non-judgmental approach. I’m here to listen, to validate your experiences, and to help you find practical ways to cope.

Whether you're navigating a new diagnosis, managing symptoms, or balancing motherhood with chronic illness, I’m here to offer guidance and support.

I use a combination of counselling techniques and my own lived experience to provide a holistic and effective approach to your well-being. We'll work together to help you find purpose and joy, even amidst the challenges of chronic illness.
