welcome
I'm glad you're here. I, too, once stood where you are; and so I hope within these pages you can find what you're looking for—whether it's information, inspiration, motivation, or connection. And my wish is that it gently guides you toward a life that feels more grounded, more spacious, and ultimately more your own. You've got this.
with love and light,
Amelia
a medical memoir
that reads like a mystery
Perfectly healthy…until she isn't. Amelia Johnson questions everything when she finds herself inexplicably and devastatingly ill. From electrocutions to explosions and dislocations, her symptoms are as terrifying as they are unexplained. Doctors are confounded. Hypotheses are proven wrong. One by one, practitioners give up, leaving Amelia to solve the enigma on her own—bedridden, bearing insufferable pain, misdiagnosed and misunderstood.
Forced to embark on this solitary quest for answers, Amelia is swept into a world she never knew existed. A world where a disease and its dangerous treatments are mired in controversy. Who can she trust? How did this happen? And what can she do before it’s too late? As her body continues to unravel, so does her identity. She loses herself a bit more every day. In order to have a future, Amelia will need to dig deep into her past.
Spanning two countries and thirty-one years, UNACCEPTABLE is gritty and raw. It is a story of discovery and the sheer fortitude it takes to endure a life-altering illness. And maybe even one day, rise above.
"gripping from page one"
"unputdownable"
"a call to action"
a new life
lived with intention
Following the survival of the mystery illness chronicled in her debut memoir, UNACCEPTABLE, Amelia's mission is now grounded in offering connection and hope to others. As a creative and a creator (a retired interior designer, an artist, a writer, and a woodworker) turned wellness advocate, Amelia's work has become a place where lived experience, creativity, and wellness interact. And her passion continues to be shaped by her own ongoing journey to understand what it means to truly heal—always holding onto the belief that no matter how dark it may sometimes seem, there is always light.
a movement rising
If your situation is also UNACCEPTABLE—or maybe you just want to support a loved one—join the movement. It's a reminder that we are never alone, even when it feels like it. Even when we are separated by distance, fighting our own individual battles, climbing our own individual mountains, we are actually united in that. And by joining the movement—sharing and supporting one another along the way, raising awareness, and fighting for a cure—you become a part of something bigger. So join the movement.
We are more than just strong. We are unstoppable as one.
