THE FOUNDERS

The Founders

HESA  was founded in 2012 by Susan Foley, a productive businesswoman and Nicola Nelson a successful environmental attorney. After their diagnosis of Hashimoto's Encephalopathy they both scoured the internet for information about HE...

and found little to no information.

Soon, they both found an online support group where they happened to find one another and soon decided they wanted to help others with this little known disease. That is when they formed HESA...and the rest as they say is history!
