92 - Katie Jane Silverthorne - My journey with Multiple Sclerosis, travel and business

Katie was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at a very young age. It affected her ability to walk and she was constantly fatigued.

​So began a journey of self care. Katie had no choice but to make choices about what she could and couldn’t do as energy levels really were in short supply

She always kept herself busy though and not only learnt to play the guitar but also taught herself to sew beautiful soft toy animals out of old baby grows and shirts etc. This is an incredible journey of trial and error where health is concerned, getting clear on what is important and taking chances with travel, listening to the inner voice and what the body is trying to say too. My favourite part being the ethos that Katie now runs her business by, employing other women with life challenges and letting them work to their own creative pace, removing boundaries and time limits to allow something beautiful to emerge.
