Elle Pendrick

Elle Pendrick is a five-time open heart surgery survivor who’s turning personal adversity into a guiding light for others.

With 12 years in the public service and (until recently) a dedicated role as a Board member of HeartKids, she pivoted to establish 'Adulting Well', a business focused on teaching surgery success and navigating life with chronic illness (particularly heart disease). Harnessing four decades of battling chronic health issues, Elle creates innovative, practical, and relatable resources, uniquely tailored for Aussies. She is also a proud HRI Ambassador.

She recently published her first book "Your Ultimate Surgery Success Guide", which is a comprehensive roadmap to get you and your loved ones from surgery stress to surgery success. It’s packed with personal stories and insider tips to reassure you and give you practical, tried-and-tested ways to tackle every part of your life.
