3. By a woman. For women.
I got sick
After a complete hysterectomy, my health tanked. The
sicker I became, the more depressed I got. I was so
depressed and hopeless I didn’t want to live anymore.
I sought help
Through a recommendation of a friend, I finally got the
help I needed. The fix was simple, but was so hard to find.
I thought “with my access to health resources this was
harder than it should have been. If this happened to me,
what is happening to women all over the world?”
I got well, and then... I got mad
At that moment, I decided I would dedicate my life to
making sure no other woman would suffer as I had. That
is how EmpowHER was born. It is the resource I wish I had
when I was sick, and I feel blessed that it has already helped
millions of women all over the world learn to advocate for
their own health, and to support each other.

Changes lives. Saves lives.
“Plain and simple... EmpowHER
saved my life.”
Gina was suffering from irregular periods, heavy bleeding,
and severe depression. Her treatments did not help her and
she came very close to taking her own life. Then she heard
about EmpowHER. She went to the site and shared her
story, and within 24 hours she was on a brighter path. Now
she has a doctor who is really addressing her issues and she
feels like a new person.

“Reading an article on EmpowHER
saved my loved one’s life.”
MonaLou’s partner was having odd sensations in his
abdomen. Initially, neither seemed concerned. However,
after reading an article on EmpowHER about the
symptoms of aortic aneurysm, MonaLou realized that
these symptoms matched her partner’s. They immediately
made an appointment to see his doctor who scheduled
emergency surgery. The size of his aortic aneurysm was at
the top of the danger scale. Had it burst; he would have
died. Post surgery, he is a perfect picture of health.

“EmpowHER has been a tool for me that has been the
