Natalie became extremely ill in 2017 and was even told by doctors that she may not survive. She had to have 2 emergency operations and had 35cm of her small bowel removed and a stoma bag fitted. Doctors eventually discovered that she had been suffering from Crohn’s disease.

Prior to this, Natalie had always lived a very active lifestyle and after realising that it was her general fitness that kept her alive, it made her even more determined to recover quickly and keep strength up so that she can live as healthy of a life as possible.

Thank you for this ! I myself have an abdominal scar that I got from a surgery that saved my life and this touched my heart . I struggled specially in my younger years with how I looked it’s taken me some time but with self reflection and the females in my life that encouraged me to wear what I want i now don’t mind wearing crop tops or two piece bathing suits because by embracing my scar I can show others the beauty in theirs .it’s amazing to see a brand really include all types and showing you are extraordinary as you are !
