Breaking the silence on endometriosis.
Pausefully is committed to ensuring that endometriosis never defines an individual’s quality of life, their potential, or the success of their organisation.
​
Despite affecting 1 in 10 women, endometriosis is often misunderstood due to a lack of awareness, research and stigma which has led to delayed diagnoses—often taking 7-8 years—and devastating impacts on women’s physical health, emotional wellbeing, relationships, fertility and careers.
Being dismissed and gaslit by medical professionals is a reality that far too many endure.​ I believe in empowering women through compassionate coaching and advocacy while also helping organisations foster awareness, allyship, and inclusion. Together, we can create a world where endometriosis never holds anyone back personally or professionally.​
Hello! I’m Vicki Hodges, an Endometriosis Coach & Workplace Trainer.
I am committed to raising awareness of endometriosis and its profound effects on both individuals and workplaces.
​
I work with organisations to become endometriosis-inclusive employers—educating employees through informative, factual discussions and equipping workplaces with the essential skills to support affected colleagues it creates a culture where everyone feels understood and valued.
​​
Through my own 30 years journey with endometriosis, I realised that women need more than medical advice—they need a safe space to feel truly heard, supported, and empowered.
My mission is to guide women through the complexities of endometriosis—I offer practical tools, personalised guidance, and a community that understands their unique challenges. Whether it’s helping women prepare for medical appointments or providing strategies to manage symptoms, pain and fertility, Pausefully exists to ensure that no one feels lost or unsupported.

Why endometriosis matters to your business.
En - doh - mee - tree - oh - sis
Endometriosis can have significant, debilitating impacts on daily life, including in the workplace; however, it is often a hidden illness that many feel they cannot talk about. That's why it's everyone's responsibility to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and enable earlier access to support, empowering women to ultimately achieve better personal wellbeing and professional success.
