Despite the prevalence of endometriosis, it's poorly understood by scientists and doctors and the physical, emotional and social impact on women who have the disorder is often overlooked. Women with endometriosis have to regularly cope with chronic pain, low energy levels, delays in diagnosis and side-effects from treatment methods. The debilitating nature of the disorder also interferes with women's relationships with partners, family, friends and places of work. As a result, many women with endometriosis feel overwhelmed and experience a range of feelings such as frustration, anger, fear, loss of control, stress and depression. But there is good news Inner Health Solutions provide effective support for women who have endometriosis. As a former Endometriosis sufferer for over 12 years, our women's health practitioner, Deborah Sheehy, is well equipped to support women suffering from endometriosis. Deborah found that by taking an active role in the management of her own health, she was gradually able to overcome the disorder. Her experiences provided the motivation to train as a complimentary health therapist in counselling, psychotherapy, meditation and healing, supporting others who suffer from chronic illness. She specialises in helping women with endometriosis improve the quality of their life, enhancing their physical and emotional health. Deborah's understanding and expertise in counselling and healing are effective in helping women with endometriosis to: - Develop strategies for coping with physical and emotional impacts

"Since being diagnosed with Endometriosis 3 years ago, the combination of counselling and spiritual healing at Inner Health Solutions has been a key element in my healing process. I feel that working with Deborah through the sessions has greatly benefitted me physically, emotionally and mentally, but most of all it has helped me to better understand the connection between the mind and the body and through this understanding I have begun to heal myself. I found through the counselling that having an impartial and compassionate person to talk to, especially at the times when I felt like giving up and self destructing, helped me to release negative energy and focus on the way forward. While the spiritual healing helped balance my body's internal energy and put me into a state of total relaxation. I highly recommend these treatments to anyone dealing wtih illness, stress and/or emotional trauma, as I have gained immense help and healing from them." A. Roy, Design Student, Auburn, Victoria. Deborah co-founded the Endometriosis Association of Ireland in 1987 and was Secretary for the first few years of its inception. She completed the first ever research study of “Irish Women’s Experiences with Endometriosis” which highlighted the physical, medical, social and emotional impact of the disorder on women in Ireland. In 2003 Deborah moved to Melbourne, Australia. She is an active committee member of the Endometriosis Association of Victoria and works for the Endometriosis Clinic as a Counsellor. The Endometriosis Association is working with gynaecologists, scientists and support groups around the world to learn more about the disease so support and timely information can be provided for women and girls with the condition.
