I’m reaching out to professional communities working in health, rehabilitation, disability, and wellbeing to share my upcoming memoir, Back on My Feet, now available for pre-order.

The book weaves lived experience of my spinal cord injury with reflections on pain, recovery, and self-compassion, and is intended to complement and humanise the work many of us do in practice.

If this feels aligned with your community, I would be grateful if you could share the pre-order link with your audience:

Thank you for supporting practitioner-informed, patient-centred storytelling.

Warm regards,
Olivia
