"My life had changed for the better after meeting Lou Palmer. I was under a lot of stress and depression as I was suffering from chronic Alopecia and I desperately needed the help and support of a caring and understanding person. Lou was very supportive and very helpful and a very genuine lady and also offered me so much advice and lots of goals to reach as well. The outcome of all this is now that I have a lot more confidence and feel much more..."
Polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS can cause weight problems, acne, low energy levels, fatigue, depression, irregular periods or excess facial or body hair. It is thought to be caused by an imbalance of hormones.
Endometriosis is a condition where cells like the ones in the lining of the womb are found outside the womb in the pelvis, and occasionally in more remote sites of the body. During your monthly cycle hormones stimulate the endometriosis, causing it to grow, then it will break down and bleed. This internal bleeding, unlike a period, has no way of leaving the body. This leads to inflammation, pain, and the formation of scar tissue (adhesions).Both of these conditions and many more can affect your fertility.
From the age of 15yrs until 28yrs old I suffered with both of these conditions. It wasn't until the latter stages of my conditions that they even worked out I had PCOS as well as endo! For many years and by many doctors I was even told that it was all in my head and the only thing they could offer me was a pain clinic. I often thought I was going mad, and if I wasn't thinking it then the ridiculously debilitating pain of these conditions made me feel like I was heading for the nut house! I was given an implant into my stomach once a month for 6 months to induce a false menopause (I now have respect for any pre-menopausal woman), and then I was given numerous drugs to endeavour to cure my PCOS. I became so violently ill with allergies at this point that within the first week of these reactions I nearly died 4 times. My body had had enough! So I began looking into why I would be at logger heads with my bits? A healer once told me to become friends with my womb, at the time I laughed so hard I nearly fell off the couch. Many, many years and tears later, I am pleased to announce that my womb and I are now the best of mates!
Emotionally feelings of insecurity, disappointment and frustration along with beliefs of not being wanted, not being enough or good enough, not being worthy of love or able to love yourself have all been linked with these conditions, this I have discovered both personally and with the other ladies I have helped recover from conditions of a feminine nature to be very true.
"I'm so thankful that I finally found in Lou someone with the insight, empathy and skills to help me break free of my self-imposed emotional prison.
Years of negative thinking and feeling had left me a frightened, depressed wreck - hating myself and my life and not being able to see my way out of it. I'd read lots of self help books, done some courses, seen various types of therapists - but none of this brought about in me the deep-seated..."
I am here to tell you ladies that there is HOPE! I no longer have either of these conditions. My periods are like clock work, I no longer have massive hair growth on my face or body, my weight has settled down, my fertility has returned (this I was told would never happen). Sex is no longer agony (quite the opposite). I no longer am in pain! So here is the question you all want the answer to…
How did I do it?
It wasn't quick and it wasn't always fun either, but bit by bit I released ALL of my emotional baggage. You know the cupboards where you store it all until you have time to face it? All released, along with all the beliefs of not being worthy to have a life let alone enjoy it, changed to quite the opposite.
Everyone of you reading this will have a different journey, that's why all my therapies are bespoke. So call me now and let's have a chat and start you on a journey that will give you back the joy in your heart and the smile on your face. It's a journey that I would be blessed to keep you company on just like the women who kept me sane on mine. Blessed be.
