Changing the landscape for women with Gynaecological, Sexual and related Mental Health Issues
I was invited by the blog, Vicious Cycle, to contribute my story about starting the International Gynaecological Awareness Day.
Here is a link for those who would like to know more.
I would love for you to comment, as that would help me to better understand who this work is reaching and the general public’s thoughts about the International Gynaecological Awareness Day.
What an incredible honour it was for Tony and I to meet Dr Farquhar and Governor General Cosgrove. I cant begin to tell you how exited I was and how humble these men are.

Getting closer to finals of Australian Senior of Year 2018 awards which I am a nominee. What a golden opportunity to share my 23 Year Gynaecological and related mental health issues should I win (even if I don’t I can still encourage others to celebrate the Gynaecological Awareness Day 10 September 2018.

A colleague sent this article to me which represents all that I stand for given that millions of women have GYN health issues, with many standing alone. Alone we sit together we make a mighty roar. The time is right now for these women’s stories and suffering in silence to come to the surface.
I am proud to announce that I am one of the four Nominees for WA Division Australian Senior of the Year with the WA winner to be announced on 22 November 2017

Thanks to Patricia Hamilton and her team. It was great to have the opportunity to share our GYN Health knowledge and to listen to some of the devastating stories especially young women enduring Polycystic ovaries and Endometriosis and many searching for answers and suffering in silence. This only re-iterates the prime need for the International Gynaecological Awareness Day celebrations to not only give voice to these women, create a greater community education and support and most of all greater funding and research. I encourage you to plan your event and help promote your business though the Gynae Awareness day 2018
