The Heart Collective
Supporting women who are living with a heart condition.
The Heart Collective is an informal network of women with heart disease, created to provide a safe environment for women to connect, share experiences and learn from each other.
Women’s stories
Generously, a number of women have shared their personal stories of diagnosis and recovery so that other women will not feel so alone. These stories cover a range of heart conditions and represent women from all stages of life.
Watch their stories
Join the Heart Collective Facebook Group
Join our closed Facebook group to connect with others, share your story, hear how others are going and support each other in an accessible private environment.
