Hi, I'm Katya!

​

I'm the creator of Positively Chronic_, a platform where I share my experiences, insights and resources about navigating life with multiple disabling chronic illnesses.

​

I started this little corner of the internet back in 2020, after being diagnosed with several complex health conditions in my twenties and spending over a year meticulously researching how I could make travelling possible again.

​

Back then it was Positively Chronic Travels, documenting the enormous amount of preparation, adaptations and advocacy involved in travelling with chronic illness, alongside everything I'd learnt about managing daily life.

​

But six years on, life has changed SO much!

​

From navigating the ongoing challenges of chronic illness and creating a flexible career, to getting married, moving into an accessible home and more recently becoming a mum for the first time, there's been a whole lot more to share.

​

So I've dropped the 'Travels' and left a little blank at the end with an underscore, because chronic illness is something that affects every part of life, and I want this space to reflect all of it.

​

Positively Chronic_ Life. Travel. Motherhood...

plus whatever comes next!

​

I hope that by sharing my experiences, the adaptations I've made and all the resources I've created along the way, I can help make navigating life with chronic illness a little easier for somebody else.

​

Perhaps show that even when life looks very different from what we'd originally imagined, there's still so much to experience, enjoy and look forward to
