Meet the Support Group Leader(s)
Naomi
I have experienced symptoms of endometriosis since I was 13 years old, but I wasn’t diagnosed with the condition until I was 26, following an operation for an appendicitis. I initially hid away from it for a time, I'd never heard of it nor did I really understand it. It wasn’t until I started to speak out about endometriosis that I met others with the condition, which was an absolute relief. My family and friends are amazing support but it wasn’t until I found others with the condition that I felt truly understood.
The support group provides a safe, supportive environment for sharing your experiences. It offers the opportunity to be listened to and understood, and to know that you are not alone. There are a mixture of informal meetings and special guest speakers, who can offer additional information on topics that are of interest to the group. We also offer taster evenings for various therapies, lifestyle choices, days/half days out. Its our aim that the group can promote fundraising for, and greater awareness of endometriosis.
Whether you have been recently diagnosed or lived with the condition for years, we welcome everyone to the group warmly.
If you are apprehensive about your first meeting Naomi is happy to contact you ahead of time to ease you into the group.
We always choose a venue where you will have free parking but please just check whether or not you need to sign your car in at reception.
We always have an Endometriosis Specialist Nurse in attendance of these support meetings
We will always let ladies know if we are opening the group up to friends and family prior to the meet up.
