My name is Heidi & I’m a disabled lifestyle Influencer & personal stylist.
Seven years ago, I fell down the stairs, which left me instantly paralysed from the chest down.

I never wanted my disability to define me. I wanted people to still see, the real Heidi and not just a woman in a wheelchair.  So, I decided to train as a personal stylist, using all my former knowledge as a professional hair & makeup artist, as a way to rebuild my sense of self & self worth. Since then, I’ve made it my mission to help empower other women who have also suffered through adversity, helping them regain their self- confidence, through the power of style& fashion.

I am also very active on Instagram & YouTube, where I showcase my life with a disability, in the hope to inspire others into believing that anything is possible, regardless of one’s limitations.

My motto is-Challenges are what makes life interesting  but overcoming them, is what makes life meaningful.
