She is losing it ~ A 20 year journey with alopecia

Natalie is 39, and has had alopecia for 20 years.
She has travelled a lot throughout her life, including Sydney & Singapore. She now lives in Amsterdam.
She loves sport and fitness, is a qualified yoga instructor & believes that movement is a  huge part of maintaining her health  & working on her mindset.
She likes to take time to self reflect and care for her mental health.

Natalie first saw a dermatologist in Australia at 19 years old, but didnt really get any help or solutions.
In January 2024 she experienced total hair loss for the first time, moving from alopecia areata to alopecia universalis. She describes this time as feeling almost like she was being 'rubbed out'.

Natalie shares her story, including steriod injections, wearing wigs, and navigating difficult conversations with friends and family.
