Isobel MacEwan
Chair
Isobel was one of the founders of Talk Lipoedema. She was diagnosed with Lipoedema at the age of 51, having inherited it from her mother and paternal grandfather. She lives in the countryside outside Edinburgh in Scotland and is passionate about raising awareness of Lipoedema. She never wants another woman to live as long as she did without a diagnosis.

Jenny has a strong background in Social Media, events management and publishing. She is currently responsible for overseeing the Administration of the charity.
Karen Windsor
Trustee
Karen was diagnosed with lipoedema in 2015 after having first been diagnosed with lymphoedema in 2005, unfortunately, the lymphoedema was masking a much bigger problem of Lipoedema and Hypermobility. I am a trained Reflexologist and lymphatic therapist. I keep the charity abreast of changes within the worldwide community and around cures and treatments.
