As the Features Editor at Woman & Home and Woman’s Weekly, Ella continues her work in journalism, but her personal journey extends beyond her editorial role. Through her writing and speaking engagements, she shines a light on resilience and the strength it takes to rebuild life after trauma. Her debut novel, Five Steps to Happy, has reached readers across the globe, bringing comfort and positivity to those facing their own challenges. Her upcoming children’s book, How to Rollerskate on One Leg, celebrates friendship, family, and the courage to overcome adversity, a message she feels is vital for young people.
Ella’s talks and workshops are driven by a desire to bring disability into the mainstream, showing that everyone, no matter their circumstances, is capable of amazing things. As a qualified therapeutic writing practitioner, she leads workshops on writing for wellbeing, encouraging people to discover healing through words. Whether speaking about resilience, inclusivity in the workplace, or writing as a tool for mindfulness, Ella encourages audiences to discover their own resilience and find new ways forward, whatever challenges they may face.
