Rosie Luik is a Brisbane-based author, speaker and lived-experience advocate whose story highlights the mental health impact of being dismissed, misdiagnosed and unheard within the medical system. As Queensland’s first legal altruistic surrogate to twins, Rosie has navigated complex health journeys that required sustained self-advocacy over many years. The psychological toll of fighting to be believed — and to secure appropriate care — has shaped her commitment to women trusting their bodies and intuition. Today, she draws on that hard-earned insight to advocate fiercely for her daughters within the health system, bringing a powerful perspective on how medical dismissal reverberates across families.
