My journey to founding afterorigin is deeply personal. For years, I experienced debilitating period pain and persistent hormone imbalances. I felt unheard or dismissed by medical professionals who attributed my struggles to just period pain or just being a woman. This challenging experience spurred me to seek deeper understanding. I embarked on an extensive study of women's health and hormones, pursuing health coaching education to find the answers and support I needed. Suspecting conditions like endometriosis, my focus was on discovering ways to nurture my body naturally and support its innate functions, rather than solely relying on methods that might suppress my cycle.

Applying what I learned brought profound relief. Many symptoms lessened, and some even disappeared. It truly felt like I was reclaiming much of my life. Even after receiving an endometriosis diagnosis years later, the recurring advice often centered on hormonal suppression. While I deeply respect that every woman's health journey and treatment choices are unique—and what works for one may not be right for another—I also hold a strong belief in the body's profound capacity to thrive when given the right support. I feel that embracing our inherent female cycles is an empowering and wonderful aspect of who we are. This conviction drives afterorigin: to empower women to work with their bodies and cycles, address underlying imbalances, and cultivate vibrant health through personalized support.
