Peta is a voice for women who want to take back their bodies and their healthcare. She is an integrative gynaecologist and fertility specialist with years of in-depth experience working with women across their lifespan.
In founding Vera Women’s Wellness, she fulfilled a long-held desire to provide women with an alternative to their modern clinical experience of visiting the gynaecologist for “women’s problems”. Her philosophy is that women deserve time, space and compassion to tell their stories and be heard, to be empowered with knowledge to get to the root cause of problems and supported to make the choices that feel right to them. Vera Women’s Wellness is about giving women their power back.
A New Approach to Pelvic Pain
The current pelvic pain paradigm focuses on treating endometriosis lesions at the expense of many other causes of pain. It is fear based with the aim of ‘crushing pain’ and ‘destroying endometriosis’ rather than trying to help women listen to and understand what pain may be trying to tell them. Evidence for this approach is not only lacking but may be counterproductive and this talk will present a new way of thinking about and approaching pain that encompasses all aspects of a woman and her environment.
