Living with chronic pelvic pain can be an isolating experience, especially for ambitious professional women who are striving to excel in their careers while managing the challenges of their health. The constant struggle to balance work commitments with self-care can take a toll, leaving many feeling overwhelmed and alone. But what if there was a way to find relief, support, and empowerment in the company of others who truly understand?

Chronic illness rates are rising, with more people aged 20–40 being diagnosed with conditions like Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, PCOS, Endometriosis, and Adenomyosis. I see this trend growing each year in my practice. So, what can you do when you find yourself facing a chronic diagnosis that could change your life?
