Survival to

Thriving

For years, life was about survival. Every day brought fear, uncertainty, and battles I couldn’t face alone. But thanks to the gift of a donor liver, the power of prayer, and the support of my family, I’m alive—and it’s no longer just about surviving.

Hi, I’m Liz Wells — and welcome to LivWell.

I’m a wife to Ian and mum to five wonderful children. I began my career in nursing, hold a First-Class Honours degree in Public Health from the University of Surrey, and I now work as a Health and Social Care lecturer. But in 2022, my life changed overnight when I was suddenly taken seriously ill with acute liver failure. In 2023, I received a life-saving liver transplant — an experience that turned my world upside down, but also transformed it completely.

In those quiet hospital wards and uncertain waiting rooms, I encountered something far greater than medical care: I encountered the peace and presence of God. That moment was the beginning of something new — a second chance I call Life 2.0.

And with that new life came a decision. I realised I couldn’t carry all my old trauma and pain into this next chapter. The time had come to unpack the boxes I’d hidden for so long, process what I’d been through, and choose to step forward — healed, whole, and free.

That’s why I created LivWell — to help others do the same.

Whether you’ve faced illness, heartbreak, grief, or trauma — or even if you’re simply feeling stuck — LivWell is a space to reflect, restore, and rebuild. To reset your life with purpose. To let go of what’s holding you back.

To rediscover hope,

faith, and

freedom.

Purpose

The journey left scars—visible and invisible—but through healing, I discovered I wasn’t meant to simply “make it through.” I was meant to live fully. Each breakthrough wasn’t by chance; it was a calling to a life far beyond survival.

Born from Faith, Built for Freedom

This is Livwell: a movement inspired by the belief that we’re not here just to exist but to embrace life in abundance. With Christ’s example, Livwell celebrates a life lived in freedom, healing, and hope. Jesus didn’t sacrifice for us to settle; He made a way for us to live well.
