Eczema Life was created to help people with skin rashes including eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, rosacea and red skin syndrome.
Our founder Ren Karen Fischer is a nutritionist, mother of two, and an award-winning author whose personal family journey with eczema is the reason Eczema Life exists.
Fischer's passion for helping people with skin disorders began when her baby developed eczema (image 3, above). So with her knowledge of nutritional biochemistry, she designed The Eczema Diet and a supplement for her daughter, which cleared her skin.
For the past 20 years, Fischer as helped thousands of people with skin disorders via her books, products and consultations. Fischer no longer sees patients and the Eczema Life Clinic closed in 2019 so she could relocate to the Gold Coast. She now spends her time completing eczema research at university and formulating eczema products to help people.
Fischer's books include The Eczema Detox, The Eczema Diet, Healthy Family Happy Family, Don't Tell Them It's Healthy, The Healthy Skin Kitchen and The Healthy Skin Diet.

After popping in to visit us at the Eczema Life Clinic in Sydney, Bonnie became a part of our eczema support team when we relocated to the Gold Coast in 2019.
Her health journey began when she developed chronic eczema as a child, which continued into her adolescent years. Despite years of taking strong medications and steroid creams she continued to suffer chronic eczema. This had a significant impact on Bonnie.
Bonnie says “In my mid-teens I embarked on a new journey to heal my skin from the inside out after reading Karen’s books. I was relieved when my skin completely healed. The dramatic change to my health sparked something inside of me. I realised the incredible impact of diet and lifestyle, and how much it has an effect on our lives both good and bad.”
It was this interest that encouraged Bonnie to complete a Bachelor of Health Science in the hope of helping others.
