End of an Era! 2 1/2 years as a Clinical Educator for the Periods, Pain and Endometriosis Program (PPEP Talk) for Queensland and Northern Territory.
I’ve travelled to some of the most rural places in Australia to spread education and awareness on pelvic pain, endometriosis, improving access to quality help and removing the shame that surrounds women’s health still.
I’ve presented to 18,781 students and 284 schools, and am so grateful to have been there to answer the questions of so many young minds who need help and a safe space to talk.
I started this role with the goal to also give light and attention to the modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Since my time here, I have presented nationwide to GPs, Gynaecologists, and other allied health practitioners about the efficacy and benefits of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. It has had a bigger ripple effect than I had hoped. Acupuncture is now included in our nationwide program that we present to each high school across Australia, with a handout I created, featuring the most effective acupressure points for people to try at home to manage their pelvic pain. Pelvic pain networks and clinics across Australia have now been including acu puncture in their referral networks and getting practitioners to present to their clinics. I am so proud that I can move on to my next journey, knowing that I completed more than what I aimed for in this role and have done Chinese Medicine justice in this role.
I’ve met absolutely incredible people from all walks of life who have touched my heart, opened my mind and have taught me so much.
My passion is forever improving health and education around women’s health. Onto the next big thing, at the Gold Coast!
