Meet your local coordinator - Ash
Heyya! I'm Ash, a mother of two sons, wife and have two furbabes. I was raised in a country town called Mundubbera 4.5hrs NW of Brisbane and now live in a small town outside of Toowoomba.
I was first diagnosed with endo when I was 20. I am thankful and grateful that my parents helped me push for answers and treatments.
Now, 13+ years later, 5 full IVF rounds for our second son, we now have a beautiful little family. In the last two years I've also added an adenomyosis and PCOS diagnosis to my health conditions list - and I still don't really know what that means for my long term health.
I love my heatpack and gardening is my hobby/obsession.
