      Meet your Coloplast ambassador Liesel

      Hi my name is Liesel, I’m a doctor, advocate, writer, educator and mentor. I’m also a mother of two, and a wife. I’ve lived with Crohn’s Disease for over 30 years, so I know how challenging life can be when you suffer from a chronic illness.  I choose to see my illness as a part of me, rather than my whole identity, and I’m passionate about helping others to do the same. I live a very full and rewarding life, despite my illness: I work part-time, and I love to travel, read, exercise, cook and spend time with friends and family. Living with a chronic illness doesn’t have to limit your life, even though it may feel that way at times. I’m here to show you that with the right support, you can build a sustainable life you love.

      I’ve had an ileostomy since the age of  27. I was very ill with Crohn’s Disease and needed emergency surgery to remove my colon and form a stoma. It was a huge shock at the time, but I was grateful  to be alive and adapted to life with a bag quite quickly. At the time of my surgery in 1997, there wasn’t a lot of support for patients, unfortunately, and I was quite lonely. That’s all changed now,  thanks to the internet and social media, and it’s much easier to find information and connect with other ostomates. I’m passionate about connection, and also about removing the stigma associated with ostomies, so I share my story online via instagram @liesel.ibd.ileostomy.support. I am also writing a book !
