Danielle

I found out that I have MRKH when I was 18 years old. I remember running out of the hospital room, where I left my mum with the medical staff who had just told me that I am infertile. On that day, I felt like my life was over.

A year later, I was accepted as a hairdressing assistant, which then turned into an apprenticeship. It is only truly now, at age 31 that I realise how important being a hairdresser has been for my life.

Hairdressing has given me purpose. A reason to wake up in the morning. Knowing that my work can make others feel good about themselves is the best part of my career. My clients and my career have been the biggest positive impact on my life and my future.

I am also very grateful for my cats.
