Have you been through serious medical adversity or trauma?

• Rebuild your confidence and boost your inner strength
• Nurture a healthy mindset to deal with uncertainty and loss of control
• Live successfully, day to day, with a long-term illness

• Find the positives in your adversity and use them as a springboard for personal growth

UPBEAT offers not only hope and inspiration, but proven strategies to help you face adversity and thrive.

Beth Greenaway has faced more than her share of medical adversity. Born with a serious congenital heart condition, she has bounced back from three open-heart surgeries, a stroke which left her blind in one eye, and a life-threatening heart infection which kept her hospitalised for several months. None of this has stopped her living life to the full, competing as an endurance athlete, living overseas, running a successful business, or working as a personal trainer for others with long-term medical conditions. She would say she has achieved these things not in spite of her heart health but because of it.
