Happy Easter! Wishing you a day filled with love, joy, and sweet moments.

Please remember to enjoy those chocolate treats perfectly safe for stomas but don’t over indulge as may cause loose output especially for Ileostomy people.

Thank you to Burnside Hospital for having me. Love educating other Nurses and sharing all my Stomal tips and tricks

✨ Education in action!

On Monday night, our nurses took part in an engaging Stomal Therapy Session with Amanda from Stoma Care Services.

Through hands-on learning (and a little play dough fun!), our team practiced creating stomas and fitting accessories— building confidence and practical skills to support our patients even better. 💙

Today I was honoured to join the celebrations of 65 years of the Ileostomy Association of South Australia. For over six decades, this organization has been dedicated to providing support, education, and advocacy for individuals living with a stoma and their families. An incredible journey filled with remarkable people that make it all possible.

Celebrating 3 Years in Business! 🎉

I'm so proud of what I have accomplished since launching Stoma Care Services in 2022. To date, averaging 107 reviews per month, offering 3 regular weekly clinic locations, home visits, numerous education sessions and now 4 regional clinics.

It's amazing to see how far the business has come in this short time — full of progression, opportunities, and unforgettable experiences. Lots of lessons learnt and challenges but so thankful for support of my wonderful patients and Stomal Therapy community. Here's to another big chapter ahead with new ideas and opportunities. Highlight of this year sharing my business story at the AASTN conference in May (see photo).

Not just surviving — but thriving!

Feeling incredibly honored to be invited as a guest speaker at the ACHA Colorectal Education session hosted by . It’s a privilege to share insights on pre-op counselling, stoma site marking, and managing post-op stomal complications.

Tonight’s session is particularly special as I was speaking alongside Dr. Shanthan Ganesh, a dedicated Colorectal Surgeon, and Tommy, a brave patient who has recently journeyed through bowel cancer diagnosis and treatment.
It was an engaging evening of learning and sharing.
