I’m Laurelle-Maria Sterling, a Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) patient advocate based in London, England. As an active member of HS Connect and the HS Support Network UK & Ireland, I use my social media platforms to raise awareness, provide support, and empower those living with HS. Beyond advocacy, my background includes civil service, freelance photography, and working with children. Right now, my focus is on creating an online space where UK-based HS patients can access valuable holistic and clinical advice to navigate life with HS.
