Listen and discover the truths behind this very common and often-debilitating condition.Theme music courtesy of Chris Collins at www.indiemusicbox.comSarah was diagnosed with endometriosis 20 years ago and, when faced with invasive surgery, she decided to forge her own path. Learning a myriad of natural methods and alternative medicine techniques, she started to treat herself with some success. As word spread, she started treating friends and family and her company (Halcyon) was born in 2008. Since then, Sarah has successfully treated hundreds of women with endometriosis, adenomyosis, PCOS, menopause, fertility issues and may other often-debilitating conditions.She now focuses on teaching others the self-treatment techniques she's used to manage her own endometriosis and avoid surgery since her diagnosis all those years ago.
