Edinburgh Support Group
About this group
The aim of the Edinburgh group is to provide a safe, supportive and inclusive environment for women where they can discuss any aspect of this condition and feel informed, empowered and not alone. We welcome anyone who has or thinks they have endometriosis.
The regular group meetings are a mixture of informal and formal meetings with guest speakers. And we hope to be proactive in raising awareness of endometriosis and fundraising.
If you are looking for support and information, then please get in touch and come along to the group meetings. We are a friendly bunch!

Meet the Support Group Leader(s)
Chloe
My name is Chloe and I am the co-lead for the Edinburgh Support Group. I joined this role because I know first hand how isolating and misunderstood endometriosis can feel and how powerful it is to have a space where you can be truly heard. I have been living with endometriosis for over a decade and like many others, my journey to diagnosis and treatment has been long and complex. I feel very passionate about creating a supportive, inclusive and judgement free space where people can share and connect.

Mirela
I'm 41 and I've been living with endometriosis for over two decades before it got diagnosed. Women should not have to endure for so long, nor live thinking the pain is normal, nor feel like an outcast for having it. I believe raising awareness and bringing women together in a safe space where they can feel accepted, and where they can share their stories and struggles, is of monumental importance for those who are impacted. |
