Connected Communities in Sydney

Welcome to the Sydney QENDO Community!

  • Meet your local coordinator - Katrina

    HEY, I’m Katrina! I’m a Sydney girl and recently returned home after living in London for 5 years. I’m energetic, loud, and love to chat all things Endo!

    I have worked in the FIlm and Television industry since I was a teenager and I’m just obsessed!  I also love playing sports, writing, and spending as much time as possible with my family. 

    In 2018, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Endometriosis after a decade of hearing, “periods hurt, you’ll be fine love!” A laparoscopy revealed my uterus was fused to my bowels, and a significant amount of Endometrial tissue was removed. 

    I am SO excited to be a part of the QENDO team. I want to work as hard as possible to ensure that Endometriosis becomes as well known as other chronic illnesses. I am currently working on a very exciting project on Endometriosis. I'm determined to create fun and engaging content for our screens, with a focus on spreading awareness of women's health.

  • Meet your local coordinator - Summer

    Hi My name is Summer and I’m a university student at UNSW. I am studying criminology & criminal justice, and I’m planning on doing a Juris Doctor after my undergraduate to become a barrister!

    I found out I had endometriosis during my HSC, last year. I had a laparoscopy where they found stage 3 endometriosis a few months before my final exams. Finding out that my years of pain was not imagined was honestly life changing for me, and I am so proud to be involved in a community of strong women who have achieved so much regardless of their suffering. 

    Being a part of QENDO is very important to me, because I believe that no one should ever have to go through what I went through alone. The late nights at the ER, where I was told to take Panadol and use a heat pack. The days where I just couldn’t get out of bed. The opportunities I missed because of my illness. These are not things that we should suffer from in silence. At QENDO, we get it, and we are here for you.

    To all the teenagers and younger girls out there, I see you, and I hear you, and I am here if you ever want to reach out. 

  • Join our Online Community

    Online communities provide a valuable space for support and information sharing for individuals dealing with endometriosis and pelvic pain. Our Group on Facebook offers a place for members to connect, share personal experiences, and access resources.

    They can be particularly helpful for those seeking understanding and advice from others who are navigating similar health challenges.

    Our Community emphasises privacy, respect, and mutual support, ensuring a safe environment for all participants.
