Indu Khurana's Background and Approach Could you please introduce yourself and share a bit about your journey and background in supporting individuals with MS?

Hi I am Indu. I have been a Coach and Psychotherapist for around 25-30 years, but I only started to focus on helping people with MS in the last year.

Partly this was because I needed to go through my own journey with MS, and partly because I started my business full time only since September 2022 and felt strong enough to support others facing the battles, I had faced myself in previous years.

I was diagnosed with MS in 2017 but I think my first symptom was probably on my 31st birthday – 25 years before the diagnosis. Over those 25 years I researched a lot and tried to address the symptoms that didn’t have a diagnosis (or at least one that made sense) in natural and alternative ways – so I learnt a lot about myself, my body, our bodies and how everything interacts.

Finally, what message of hope or encouragement would you like to share with individuals living with MS who might be listening to our podcast?

Keep monitoring your hope levels. If you find your hope drifting or declining, reach out for help.

And

Keep listening to your body.

How and where can interested people find you online?

You can find me on indukhurana.com

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to share my thoughts here today.

Thanks a lot to Indu Khurana for sharing her tips, expertise and support in how to find individual ways through all the hurdles that come when receiving a diagnosis like multiple sclerosis. It is a lifelong journey and therefore it is very important to have stable mental health or try to get to that stage.

See you soon and try to make the best out of your life, Nele
