Endometriosis is everyone's business, not just a women's issue.
Pausefully is committed to closing the gender health gap, ensuring that endometriosis never defines an individual’s quality of life or the success of the organisation.
​
Despite affecting 1 in 10 women, endometriosis is often misunderstood due to a lack of awareness, leading to significant adverse impacts on employee wellbeing, organisational performance, and business success.​
​​
Recognising this, Vicki offers educational allyship and awareness webinars, endometriosis champion training and personalised 1:1 coaching designed to equip teams with essential knowledge and skills that create a supportive environment that prioritises employee welfare and promotes inclusivity.

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb (uterus) grows in other places of the body. Symptoms can affect the whole body, causing inflammation, pain, fatigue, anxiety, and in up to 50% of cases, fertility issues.
​
It 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 prioritise their health and ultimately improving overall outcomes and quality of life.
