of your health & heal As women with endometriosis, we can often feel very unsure and confused about what we can do to help and heal our bodies. We may not know where or how to start our healing process, or if we are able to begin that journey on our own. Let me help. As an accredited holistic health coach specialising in endometriosis, my passion and expertise is to assist you in creating your own personalised recovery plan. I will support you with practical advice, goal-setting, accountability and education as you manage endometriosis issues such as pain, energy, fertility, digestion health, mental health and flow regulation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1595414875305-M1WJK2LOG3TOLS4WGCMG/image-asset.jpeg Home - Learn to understand what your body is telling you En-do-me-tri-o-sis. Even the name is long and complicated - just like the condition can be! We can feel so lost, frustrated and troubled about how our bodies are responding. We may find ourselves asking these questions on a monthly, weekly, daily (even hourly!) basis: Why am I so bloated? Where is this pain coming from? Why do I feel so tired? Why can’t I conceive? Why does my menstrual flow look like that? Why do I feel so low? Our bodies are trying to communicate with us, but sometimes we need help in understanding the messages - especially when the messages can hurt so much! Let me help. That’s my role. I will help you interpret the endo body-signs and symptoms so that you can start to understand what your body is saying. I will support you in developing your unique recovery plan - naturally. Don’t endure another month, week, day or hour in pain. Let’s chat about healing endometriosis and what that looks like for you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1628146429153-0CZXXSENYSF9FPBZDYON/7629031-1598320778130-1c4c97dffa0ce.jpg Home In Her Flow Podcast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1599468162946-VY0HFO9UPSCMZV44B71U/image-asset.png Home https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/endoatwork daily 0.75 2021-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1593754225204-P028IPIXGM996W52EFCV/image-asset.jpeg Endo at Work - Endometriosis at work The symptoms of endometriosis can impact us anywhere, at any time. And where do we often spend a lot of our time? Work. I’m sure many of us know the embarrassment and frustration of being caught-out with pain in a meeting, or needing to rush to the bathroom suddenly due to flooding, or falling asleep at the desk! In fact, endometriosis was once nicknamed ‘the career woman’s disease’. It was once thought by doctors and researchers that women who made the decision to have children later in life (those pursuing education or careers) were more likely to develop it! Obviously, this myth has now been debunked, but endometriosis has long been a gendered, politicised and neglected disease. Thankfully, it is now starting to be taken more seriously by doctors, academics and the workplace! In Australia, the government organisation Safe Work Australia has now released a fact sheet on Supporting workers with endometriosis in the workplace as part of their 2018 National Action Plan for Endometriosis. These implementations make it possible for a woman with endometriosis to access understanding, support and reasonable adjustments to their work environment. This is a wonderful step in the right direction. A helpful way of letting your workplace know you have endometriosis is by sending the fact sheet link to your HR Administrator or your manager so you can receive the support and understanding you deserve. Are you finding that endometriosis is affecting you at work, or holding you back from your career goals or progression? Don’t let endometriosis cost you your career. My program will give you a clear path for healing and managing endometriosis at work, so that your finances will blossom, your career will thrive and you will live the life that you want to create. https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/getsupport daily 0.75 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1628228659102-35EC3PWLQQP3HBKWYRXU/DSC_8437.jpg Work With Me - 1:1 coaching with me It’s time to feel better and live the life you want! You don’t want to continuously suffer with pain flares, low mood or fatigue due to endometriosis. You want energy and motivation to do the things you love without the fear of sudden pain, or the expectation of chronic pain. You don’t want the mainstream endometriosis treatments offered to you to be your only options. And you don’t want all the related side effects of painkillers, artificial hormones and on-going surgeries. You want to approach your body naturally, holistically, with knowledge, care and respect. You don’t want to continue struggling with digestive issues due to endometriosis - they leave you feeling bloated and nauseated and spending waaaaaaay too much time on the toilet! You want confidence to look good in your clothes and to be comfortable in your own skin. You don’t want to carry on feeling helpless as you navigate, month after month, the road to fertility without receiving any hope. You want a plan, an approach that is made uniquely for you. You want accountability, encouragement and the ability to be in control of your fertility. Visualise yourself… Getting through the day without any pain Feeling strong and energetic at work and home Wearing your clothes with ease, without any discomfort Nourishing your body with the right foods Finally feeling heard, validated and uniquely supported towards your goals Invest in yourself and take action Join my personalised endometriosis coaching programme to start back on the road to being symptom-free.

Many of us have never really told our endo-story before because we may be embarrassed by the details, we feel that no-one has the time to listen or no-one can really comprehend, or we may think those listening believe we are exaggerating or searching for a pity-party. But telling our endometriosis story has power - and it may be one of the most powerful medicines for us on earth - switching off our toxic stress hormones and switching on the relaxation response that releases healing hormones. Telling our endometriosis story can function as a preventative medicine and a treatment. Telling your story helps you make sense of your life — why certain events happened the way they did. You begin to examine what has happened to you and through you. Telling your endo-story also connects you to others. It reminds you that you are not alone and your lonely experience becomes a shared experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1598261569009-VVC1MTOQ4A3NCB184AE5/photo-1434973539530-5538b4681aac.jpeg My Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1598310604309-YZ1HBP624C7OB98G1DHF/photo-1506024399685-c2095029481d.jpeg My Story - Because I knew I needed help. I have laid, curled up, on the floor of the toilet cubicle, in acute pain, thinking for sure I would soon faint from the agony, I have been carried out of a lecture hall to the university medical centre because I was rolling on the floor in agony, I have been picked up by strangers who found me lying on the side of the road while I was out for an innocent stroll, I have thrown up in plant pots in public, I have slept on my desk in the middle of a work day, I have been up all night with pain and gas (oh the joys!), I have spiralled mentally down into that black hole, I have had my heart micro-break every month upon month upon month upon month when I could not conceive… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1598310753411-032B7ZHB1FLD4VKF15L3/photo-1581008139236-ebdede9f881d.jpeg My Story - Then I started to take control of my health During that time, natural therapies and practitioners started to shine a beacon of light for me and provided a road back to myself. I found answers and relief. Natural health healers instructed me in the craft of castor-oil packs, womb steams, abdominal massage, essential oils and supplementation. Acupuncture (blessed acupuncture!) helped to reduce my pain levels down to almost zero, my nutrition training taught me about a low-inflammation diet and life-style, and my counselling experience taught me about training my mind. I began to move my body and ground my being, and I began to heal… My road, like many women with endometriosis, has been long, at times very dark, confusing, often lonely, and with many twists and turns and new road-blocks at different stages. I know I am one of the lucky ones. I received a fairly early diagnosis compared to others. I had only been putting up with the pain for 8 years at that stage - not 18. Or 28. The OB/GYN I saw listened to me, pre-diagnosed me almost immediately and did not dismiss me, like some women have experienced. For that I am forever grateful, and I am now so overjoyed with current medical research and awareness surrounding endometriosis - but we still have so far to go. Since 26 years old, my quest has been to take back control of my health. Now that quest has become to support other women with endometriosis take back control of their health, so we can move from surviving to thriving! https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/about daily 0.75 2020-06-10 https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/diet daily 0.75 2021-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1593587628503-65G323L745XQ4600C0P2/image-asset.jpeg Eating with Endo - Endo Healing Foods Anti-inflammatory vegetables (brassica family) Anti-inflammatory spices (such as turmeric) Omega 3 rich foods Wild/grass-fed proteins Prebiotic fibres Resistant starch Liver supporting foods Soothing and detoxifying teas Detoxifying herbs Foods rich in magnesium and zinc Organic foods Foods rich in antioxidants Whole foods https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1593590717268-E4UM40040MDP3T5QEQ2R/image-asset.jpeg Eating with Endo - Endo Flare Foods A1 casein dairy Gluten Processed foods Fructose Processed/hydrogenated oils Alcohol Grain-fed proteins Processed soy products Non-organic (some are worse than others) Common allergy foods (for some) https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/endometriosis daily 0.75 2021-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1592804805605-Q1G8UDI0BWC3NYAYMSUG/image-asset.jpeg Endometriosis - Endo what?! It’s a mouth-full, that’s for sure! What are the indicators of endometriosis? The main symptom of endometriosis is pelvic pain which can be severe (think of searing, pulsating, stabbing pain) and it can last for many days, keeping you house-bound and from living a normal life. Other indicators of endometriosis are long, heavy, crampy and clotty menstrual flow, nausea and vomiting, bowel and bladder problems, abdominal bloating, debilitating fatigue, depression and anxiety, headaches, pain or bleeding during sex, bleeding between periods, low-grade fever, infertility and recurrent miscarriage. It’s a long and nasty list. What is endometriosis? Endometriosis is a condition where bits of body tissue similar to your uterine lining (the endometrium) grow in places outside your uterus. This out-of-place tissue (also called endometriosis lesions) behave in the same way as the tissue in your uterine lining - it thickens and bleeds every month, but the blood cannot escape. Over time, this monthly shedding causes the formation of scar tissue, cysts and adhesions around the endometriosis lesion which causes an immune response in the body leading to chronic inflammation. These adhesions can also stick pelvic organs to each other and cause twists and blockages. It is important to know that endometriosis is fundamentally an inflammatory disease, and while the growth of endometriosis lesions are strongly stimulated by estrogen, it is not a hormonal condition, but an immune dysfunction - potentially an auto-immune related condition. Is endometriosis a common condition? Yes - unfortunately it is a very common condition. It often starts in our early reproductive years and affects one in ten women. Worse still - it is not easy to identify and it can take up to ten years to diagnose. This is because exploratory laparoscopy (keyhole) surgery is still the only definite method of confirming the presence of endometriosis. A pelvic ultrasound can sometimes detect endometriomas (blood-filled cysts on the ovaries) but the scan cannot confirm or rule-out endometriosis. Pretty rough hey?! How can I treat endometriosis? Endometriosis is a serious disease and there is currently no cure. Excision surgery can be helpful for some women’s endometriosis for a time, but it is not a cure and further surgery may be required. In addition, the surgery itself can create further scar tissue/adhesions which in time lead to further pain. Hormonal birth control is often prescribed as a treatment for endometriosis but these drugs suppress natural hormonal activity, have concerning side effects, often do not help women deal with the pain and can mask what is actually going on in the body. However, the GOOD news is that natural treatment methods can help relieve, diminish and heal many aspects of endometriosis. If you would like to know more about these methods, please do not hesitate to connect with me.

I’m so pleased to meet you in this space and I hope we can get to know each other! As a woman with endometriosis, I wished that I could have found a health coach and endo-specialist when I was first diagnosed (see my story). Lack of information and support sent me on a journey of research and a quest to heal myself naturally, without having to endure countless surgeries and monthly symptoms that pulled me away from living a normal life. This journey led me on a path of working as a health educator in my island-home of Tasmania and onwards to my new-found home of Sydney, where I have been working in wellness education and coaching for over 10 years. This has brought me to where I am today, working in the speciality I am most passionate about - helping women with endometriosis regain control over their symptoms. Using natural healing pathways, I work to assist women to understand their deepest health needs and support them step-by-step to reach their wellness goals. I can help you: understand and communicate your most immediate needs and deepest hopes for healing from endometriosis by providing knowledge, education and experience regarding the natural endometriosis-healing process gain awareness of your body’s signals and how they relate to endometriosis access the natural treatment you require set goals to make changes in your life, step-by-step, with massive amounts of encouragement and accountability feel less overwhelmed and bring back belief in your body and its ability to heal go forward with the tools and therapies that you need to support you in the future as you thrive and heal from endometriosis! https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1598511408054-8OJRHM1Q151JBN41BBM3/photo-1562115319-2bacbc11d645.jpeg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1599459900553-FOJ7HISMEUZE9JO2J4NI/IICT+member+seal+3.png Contact https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/do-i-have-endo daily 0.75 2021-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1597736525782-CS51FA12YZATFIR97U1P/photo-1516362543167-b3a9f77a89df.jpeg Do I Have Endo? - Self Assessment Fact: 1 in 10 women develop endometriosis. Fact: It typically takes up to 10 years for a diagnosis of endometriosis Fact: I do not want you to spend ten years in crippling pain, feeling helpless, because you have been told it’s “just period pain”! Carry out a little self assessment by reading the common symptoms of endometriosis below, then have a chat with your doctor. Ask her outright if you should have further checks for endometriosis. It’s helpful to know that endo is not the same in all women. Symptoms can differ. Some woman may have all the symptoms, others some, others none until they are trying to conceive and struggle. Symptoms can also change during a monthly cycle and also over time (this was the case for me!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1598338691724-FR7TEVRDMQDR8G85RR10/photo-1471336199076-1bea7bdb30ba.jpeg Do I Have Endo? - Symptoms Pain: one of the main symptom of endometriosis is pain which is often severe and chronic. You know your pain is severe if it doesn’t go away when you take ibuprofen and it stops you from your daily activities. The pain can be bearing down labour-like pain, dragging, searing, pulsating, stabbing and can be so intense that you vomit. The pain can occur in your uterus, lower back, rectum, bladder, legs and in other areas of your pelvis. The pain is most often cyclical. It most commonly occurs during your period but can also occur during ovulation, during sex, preceding or during a bowel or bladder movement, or during or after a pelvic examination. Heavy/Clotting Periods: if you are experiencing periods that are often heavy or ‘flooding’, then this could be an indication of endometriosis associated with excess oestrogen. More than 80ml is a heavy flow. This is 4 tablespoons throughout your whole period (16 fully soaked regular tampons or pads/8 fully soaked super tampons or pads). As your flow should subside as you sleep, you shouldn’t need to be changing your menstrual product during the night. Large menstrual clots are also a possible indication of endometriosis (also associated with excess oestrogen). A few small clots are nothing to be concerned about and are quite normal, but seeing clots on a regular basis that are larger than 2.4 cm (an Australian ten-cent coin) could be a sign of endo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1598339158534-37MCWV72MHDX1UF6VNKI/photo-1517385846632-80596fa3ae4a.jpg Do I Have Endo? https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/endo-myths daily 0.75 2021-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1597641502364-1B7AU8P4HCUNI1BF1ZWH/photo-1571623499620-3e6660f2514d.jpeg Endo Myths https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/your-endo-stories daily 0.75 2020-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1598337646415-LFTFF0YGM73JGAK5VDFK/photo-1491438590914-bc09fcaaf77a.jpeg Your Endo Stories https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/products daily 0.75 2020-08-11 https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/products/p/harvest-moon-cup-9rrwl monthly 0.5 2020-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847051566-7J1F5JK17HV9L5ET6J8C/download+%281%29+copy.jpeg Products - Harvest Moon Cup https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/products/p/earth-sky-planter-rrd7t monthly 0.5 2020-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847050613-XRHRJZP8TVBL6N57P6I2/download.jpeg Products - Earth & Sky Planter https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/products/p/golden-mist-cup-9fr5m monthly 0.5 2020-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1597190954713-S23B907GRRSLIVJV7CM1/il_1588xN.2361394018_qo54.jpg Products - Yoni Steaming Herbs for Endometriosis https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/products/p/spring-bowl-wfsze monthly 0.5 2020-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1597190400964-6RABOCUURYYU47IVF6NN/1.jpg Products - Castor Oil Pack Combo https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/products/p/milk-dip-cup-emnej monthly 0.5 2020-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1597188220910-KBFQ2500NMU0HK48CLZO/Organic-Castor-Oil-_-500mL.png Products - Castor Oil 500ml https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/products/p/country-feast-set-ganef monthly 0.5 2020-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee04e7cfd1a761767ee7cfd/1597120935194-KJQRF31KOZQJWH6DAGXM/Screen+Shot+2020-08-11+at+2.39.11+pm.png Products - Castor Oil Compress https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/get-started daily 0.75 2020-06-10 https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-youothers-samst monthly 0.5 2019-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560190004400-XTA0DF0S9WOZJUG994C8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Original_845035.jpg Shop - Relationship with You+Others https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-others-24dfx monthly 0.5 2019-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189982811-KFAJF1TCUH1SXZ827UMC/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844923.jpg Shop - Relationship with Others https://www.jolincolnewellness.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-you-s4a69 monthly 0.5 2019-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189874730-3B0TSLDUHTQ93497V3L8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844934A.jpg Shop - Relationship with You
