Welcome to my Blog - A Healing Space for Those With Chronic Skin Conditions: Stories, Tools & Support

If you’ve found your way here, I’m so glad you have.

This healing blog is for anyone navigating the emotional and mental toll of a chronic skin condition — whether that’s Topical Steroid Withdrawal, eczema, or something else entirely. You’re not alone here. Whether you're in the thick of it or learning how to live after it, this space was created with you in mind.

My name is Shaista. I'm a Mindset and Embodiment Coach, and I’m also walking my own TSW journey.

This blog is part of my healing work, both personal and professional. It's where I’ll be sharing reflections from my own experience, the emotional insights that have helped me and my clients navigate this path, and the tools I use to support healing that goes far deeper than the skin.

Because here’s something I’ve learned. Healing doesn’t end when your skin starts to clear.

After the flares settle, many of us are left with anxiety, burnout, identity loss, and a nervous system stuck in overdrive. We’ve survived, but we’re still not sure how to live.

This blog is a place for that part of the journey.

You’ll find posts on things like:

• The mindset shifts that helped me stop spiralling in moments of fear

• Tools for nervous system regulation and emotional resilience

• Stories from others in the TSW and chronic skin healing community

• Resources and gentle guidance to help you rebuild trust in your body, your voice, and your life

  
  

You’re not broken. You don’t need fixing.

You’re healing, and you deserve support that honours all of you, not just your skin.

Whether you dip into one post or return often, I hope you feel seen here.

I hope you feel less alone.

And I hope something in these words helps you breathe a little easier today.

With love,

Shai x
