Campaign idea: Emma is back teaching fitness
Fitness instructor Emma feared a stoma would end her career. Today, she is back teaching high-energy classes and swimming.
This story
After years of misdiagnosis, Emma was diagnosed with a prolapsed bowel and underwent multiple surgeries. When severe complications returned, she underwent surgery for a loop ileostomy in 2024. She has since rebuilt her strength and returned to coaching swimming and teaching fitness classes.
