If you’re reading this, perhaps you’ve felt frustrated, ignored, or dismissed by Doctors when seeking help with your endometriosis. I’m really sorry if you’re experiencing this. You are not alone. Too many people are either waiting for diagnosis, treatment, or surgery.
What Is Endometriosis?
“Endometriosis is when endometrial tissue is found in abnormal sites - on ovaries, within the myometrium, uterine tubes, or scattered through the peritoneal cavity or further afield (lungs, nose, etc).”
(— Uma Tuli Dinsmore, PhD)
Yoga Therapy offers a holistic and trauma-informed approach to treating endometriosis that involves meditation, yoga, and inner awareness focused on your pelvic health.
I was inspired to resesarch endometriosis after witnessing my own family members get hysterectomies for what sounded like painful period cramps. I was shocked at how quickly the Doctors suggested a hysterectomy before at least offering a less intrusive and permanent approach. Is this how Doctors treat women’s health?
Years later - after studying Womb Yoga with Uma Dinsmore (PhD), - I discovered that Yoga Therapy offered a holistic and nurturing approach to treating endometriosis and case results showed women were experiencing successful results.
Sadly, it’s not widely known that there are holistic natural remedies for Endometriosis. You might find them worth exploring.

It can be an excruciating pain physically, energetically, and emotionally. In rare cases, endo has been reported to grow even on the lungs and brain. From an energetic and spiritual perspective:
‘Shakti is not in her home’
— Uma Tuli Dinsmore, PhD
Shakti is a Sanskrit term for feminine energy. Shakti lives in the energetic womb-space but she's uprooted from her natural home when experencing endometriosis.
How Does Endometriosis Feel?
The pain is described as:
So bad I want to die,
I can’t walk,
I’m bloated like I’m pregnant,
I can’t have sex,
I cant enjoy pleasure,
Everything hurts!
The flare-ups can happen at different points in the cycle. It's debilitating and it changes one’s life.
Wherever you're at in your endometriosis journey, you are not alone and I understand how frustrating this must be. I know how dismissive Doctors can be and that most people simply don’t understand what you’re going through.
Trust that daily rest, exercise, and womb-friendly meditation does matter and will help treat endometriosis.
Your daily sacred rest, exercise, and meditation matters and WILL help you.

What Symptoms Are Typically Combined With Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is often combined with other symptoms such as:
IBS
Depression
Anxiety
Senses are heightened when experiencing pain. Blood flow goes to the peripheries, so systems such as digestion are not as important to your body.
What Happens When People Go To The Doctor For Help with endometriosis? Diagnosis of endometriosis is often difficult.
Doctors are known to tell people that there's nothing wrong. Imagine having pain so bad you want to die and can’t even walk and the Doctor says: ‘You’re fine’.
What is the treatment for endometriosis by Doctors?
Once people are diagnosed with endometriosis, the treatment is typically: Ongoing contraceptives and eventual surgery to remove the deposits (usually laparoscopic). Even if you’re prescribed surgery, it can take long. One year wait-lists are reported.

Hi! I’m Joss Frank, Yoga Therapist C-IAYT and founder of Wild Womb. I understand how body and womb healing ignites when you look within for guidance because I self-healed from my painful periods, depression, anxiety, sexual assault, emotional and physical abuse after years of failed efforts to feel better about myself. My failed efforts led to a revelation that true healing comes from within and it requires loving community and professional support.
Today, I help people with womb and body healing so they can reclaim their feminine energy, love their bodies, and feel more confidence.
