Ilana Estelle Bio:

I am a writer and author of three published books: The CP Diary: Finding the Calm After the Storm, Spirituality, Healing, and Me, and Survival: The Covid Years – Time for Change. My writing explores my personal journey of living with cerebral palsy, weaving together themes of spirituality, self-discovery, healing, and resilience. My third book, Survival: The Covid Years, shares my experience of living with anxiety through the Covid-19 pandemic.

The CP Diary began as a blog 16 years ago when I first discovered I had cerebral palsy, later learning that I had originally been diagnosed at the age of two.

Through The CP Diary, my writing offers honest and insightful reflections on overcoming life’s challenges, using my lived experiences to inspire and empower readers to think about how they perceive themselves, mental health, lifestyle, and the world around them. What started as a deeply personal journey of navigating trauma has evolved into a global lifestyle, health and wellbeing platform.

I have also had articles published in Health and Wellbeing magazines, as well as in both local and national newspapers.
