A change to My Health Story: what’s happening, and what it means for you
When we launch the updated My Health Story, we’re changing how pricing works. We want to clarify the information with current users and anyone considering signing up early. What’s changing Right now on MHS, you can create as many health stories as you like for no additional cost. When we release the updated design, you’ll no longer be able to create unlimited stories. In the new system: Your first health story will be included in your annual $49 registration fee. Each additional story will cost $9 (one-off fee). That’s the whole model: no tiers, no add-ons, and no in-app marketing or advertising. […]

A new My Health Story is coming – it’s a great time to send your feedback
Happy hello from me, Soula, the proud founder of My Health Story (MHS). And I’m very happy to announce an exciting new plan ahead for My Health Story – a total redesign! The team and I have known this day was coming; after all, when isn’t a founder (and a creative director, one at that) evaluating their idea? It’s a continuous process; it’s the ‘how long is a piece of string?’ formula. One I have embraced since 2016 when MHS was first realised into an official system. But there comes a time when you arrive at a crossroads, thanks to technology and feedback, and you [...]

Hello! This is a personal post from me, Soula, the founder of My Health Story. I just had to share this incredible news with you directly because it’s truly remarkable not only for me but also for everyone who has contributed to and collaborated with me on creating My Health Story (MHS).

And while alone that is something to celebrate, what truly excites me is the theme of this year’s event: Design the World You Want. That’s what I’ve been trying [...]
Soula Mantalvanos & Dr Susie Gronski talk about male pelvic pain and finding the right treatment
Dr Susie Gronski has been My Health Story's (MHS) Advisor and Friend for several years. Founder of MHS, Soula Mantalvanos, has been closely connected with Dr Susie Gronski since 2017. Recently, Soula looked back at their 2021 pelvic pain chat and realised it was time to organise another catch-up with this incredible therapist. Soula discovered Dr Gronski's incredible resources while seeking information for the advocacy website she founded in 2011, pudendalnerve.com.au, to help people living with pelvic pain. This search - specifically for resources relating to treatment for male pelvic pain- stemmed from male followers contacting Soula directly, alerting her to the fact that finding help for [...]
