Hey, I’m Elle, and I get it.

Living with a chronic illness isn’t just about doctor’s appointments and medications—it’s about juggling your health, work, finances, and mental well-being every. single. day. That’s exactly why I created Adulting Well—a platform where people like us can find the practical help, mindset strategies, and the support we need.

Born with congenital heart disease, I’ve had more than 20 surgeries (including five open-heart surgeries), and my life has been a mix of hospital stays, financial stress, and the constant mental battle of managing it all.

If you’ve ever felt like your illness is running the show, trust me, I’ve been there.

But after my fifth major surgery, I realised that while I can’t change my diagnosis, I can change how I approach it. I found ways to manage my mental health, take control of my finances, and stop letting my condition define my life. I learned how to adult "well"—with my chronic illness—and now I’m here to help you do the same.

With experience navigating a high-pressure career (think rubbing shoulders with royalty!) and contributing to national healthcare standards, I combine my personal journey with professional know-how to give you the tools to take charge of your health and life. I know the struggle, but more importantly, I know the solutions that actually work.

Let’s redefine what it means to live with chronic illness—because you deserve to adult well, too.
