Thank you, Louise, for sharing the experience of being a woman surgeon so eloquently, lovingly, and from the vulnerable heart-space.

I am so grateful you wrote this as never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that I would meet another ME here, amongst creatives and authentics - a woman who, like me, had the privilege of working as a surgeon and more recently, lay down her scalpel.

I am deeply grateful to the Substack-verse for connecting us and am feeling inspired by you - to write my own piece about ending my journey as a plastic and reconstructive surgeon and shifting to SOUL SURGEON.

Sending you love, my surgical soul sister💗✨🙏Write on!

Goodness, thank you, you are so incredibly generous with your words. I too am forever grateful to have met you. I now have a soul sister to walk this new path with and that is more than I could have ever hoped for. All the love you beautiful human xxx

This is beautifully written. It must have been an incredibly difficult decision to leave after all those years of hard work, sacrifice, obstacles and experiences. What a brave woman you are - and even braver for starting from scratch now and sharing your story. I am sure your two children will be very proud when they read these words one day (as well as former patients and their parents!).

Thank you for such generous words! It made me tear up a little. It’s also given me a boost of encouragement to keep writing ❤️
