  • Stop putting your life on hold

    and to start enjoying your life again right now!

  • Even if your condition doesn't ever get better, you can still be committed to your goals, take charge of your life, and feel like you again.

     

    I know right now it feels like...

    • you’re constantly letting people down
    • you're a burden to others
    • you never get the support you really need from your doctor, boss, colleagues, or even your family
    • there's no hope you might ever have a more fulfilling life

    ...but it doesn't have to be that way!

  • Hi. I'm Elinor.

    I’ve lived with multiple chronic illnesses for most of my life. Before I was diagnosed, I blamed myself for my constant collapses in energy, brain fog, weird muscle pains, inability to ‘live up to my potential’, and my lack of success with career, money and relationships. My self esteem was very low, and even though I kept on trying, I often felt hopeless, useless and frustrated.

    The peer support groups I eventually found were good for venting about symptoms, doctors, and the pain of living life with chronic illnesses, but when I turned in a positive direction and decided I had things I wanted to do with my life, beyond my symptoms and general wellbeing, there was no support or advice to help me with that.

    I had to work out how to live a life with chronic illnesses, in a way that allowed me to make my unique contribution to the world, all by myself.

    I founded We Make The Path so you don't have to do it alone.

    I believe you can have a life you enjoy again, without ignoring your symptoms,

    giving in to others' unrealistic expectations, or waiting for doctors to find a cure.
