✨ Stoma Awareness Day ✨
This weekend marks Stoma global Awareness Day, and I want to shine a light on my incredible friend, Emma. 💛
Emma recently shared her recovery journey in an article for Bowel Research UK. But there’s something close to her heart that she couldn’t mention there—the role of PEMFiT in her recovery.
Just over a year ago, Emma underwent a life-changing operation for an ileostomy (stoma). Fast forward to today and she’s not only back teaching fitness classes and coaching swimming, but just two weeks ago she returned to competitive swimming—missing her PB in the 100m breaststroke by only ONE second! 🏊♀️💪
Here’s what Emma had to say:
“For over 20 years I struggled with slow transit bowel: severe constipation and unbearable pain. After multiple surgeries, a stoma was my last resort. I discovered PEMFiT just before my surgery where it helped prepare my body for what was to come. I began gentle sessions again only two weeks post-op. The difference was incredible—physically, mentally, and even in how my stoma functioned. Within three weeks I was able to return to some work (with adaptations!)—far sooner than anyone expected.
Today, I teach over 40 classes a week and I’m back competing in the pool. PEMFiT has been the only treatment that’s ever made such a significant difference—not just to my recovery, but to my overall wellbeing. Caroline’s expertise and support have been life-changing, and I’ll always be grateful. I only wish I’d found PEMFiT sooner!”
Emma is now hoping to have her stoma reversed in the coming months—and is so thankful to have PEMFiT to continue supporting her healing journey.
🌟 Her strength, resilience and positivity are an inspiration—not just on Stoma Awareness Day, but every single day.
