Join The Scarred & Fabulous Launch Team

I once nearly killed my anaesthetist.

At 30, during my hip replacement, I had a full-blown panic attack that took three nurses to restrain me.

I thought I was broken. A freak.

Turns out, I was traumatised—from childhood surgeries I barely remembered.

For 38 years, I lived with medical PTSD and didn't know it. I kept ending up back in hospitals, stuck in toxic relationships, running from myself across three continents.

Until I finally understood: my body wasn't my enemy. It was trying to protect me.

If you've had surgery and feel like a stranger in your own body—if you're struggling emotionally even though physically you're "fine"—this book is for you.

Be Part of Something Bigger Than a Book Launch

Scarred and Fabulous: A No-Bullshit Guide to Rebuilding Your Life After Medical Trauma launches in Jan 2026—and I need people like you to help get it into the hands of women who desperately need it.

Not just readers. Champions.

Women who know what it's like to feel lost after surgery. Who understand the invisible struggle. Who want to help others know they're not alone.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...

"What can I say?! Just wow! This book is raw, emotional, funny but so special.

Chapter 6 really spoke to me, actually made me realise something about myself I didn’t realise I do!

I suffered with Hip Dysplasia and had a spiker so firstly, thank you for highlighting it and secondly, well done for turning what sounds like the most horrific experience as a child into something so special."

Ellie Smith- Hip Dysplacia sister

"It's well written and the detail and depth you've gone into really gives you the feels. It feels like I'm reading your diary, which is a good thing for a reader.

You've done a wonderful job!"

Faith Isabelle- Client

"This is the most honest book I have ever read. You

have laid bear all your life, never shying away the truth. In so many places it is

heartrending, disturbing, joyful, desperate and enlightening.

You are so expressive, with incredible use of straightforward, clear, emotive language to tell your

story. I couldn’t stop reading and finished this in just two days.".

Richard Wright- Author

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a launch team member need to do?

It's simple:

✅Read the book (or as much as you can before launch—life happens, I get it)

✅Leave an honest review on Amazon and/or Goodreads within 2 weeks of launch

✅Share about the book on social media (I'll give you easy copy-paste posts!)

✅Tell one person who needs this book that it exists

That's it. No pressure. No complicated requirements. Just your honest voice helping other women find their way..

Do I have to finish the book before leaving a review?

Not at all. We welcome reviews from any honest place—whether you’ve read the whole book or just a few chapters. A short, thoughtful impression is more than enough to help another reader find this story.

What kind of review are you hoping for?

Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest updates, book releases, and exclusive offers. Follow us on social media to stay connected and receive real-time news.

Why do you need Amazon reviews?

Amazon's algorithm loves early reviews. The more reviews a book gets in the first few weeks, the more it gets recommended to people searching for help.

What is a 'verified purchase,' and why does it matter?

Amazon flags reviews from people who bought the book themselves with a “Verified Purchase” label, which builds more trust with new readers. That’s why we offer a special discounted print version just for launch team members.

Will I be reminded to leave a review?

Yes—but only kindly 😊 You’ll receive a few emails with simple instructions and encouragement. Once you’ve posted your review, just click the “Review Complete” button or email me the link, and we’ll stop the reminders and start the celebration!

Is there a deadline?

Book launches May 2026. I hope to get all launch team copies out by early April so have at least 3 weeks to read it. We’re aiming to reach 100 reviews by the eBook launch, but you’re welcome to post whenever you’re ready. Earlier reviews help more—but later ones still matter.

What if I change my mind?

No pressure. If you join and later realize it’s not the right time or fit, that’s okay. Just reply to any email and let me know. This is an invitation, not an obligation.
