Since then, Sarah has successfully treated hundreds of women with endometriosis, adenomyosis, PCOS, menopause, fertility issues and may other often-debilitating conditions.She now focuses on teaching others the self-treatment techniques she's used to manage her own endometriosis and avoid surgery since her diagnosis all those years ago.
