Women's health issues are too often overlooked and dismissed by the medical profession. I am passionate about empowering women to make their own health choices, particularly regarding sexual and reproductive health.
I strive to provide women with a safe space to discuss these issues, using a non-judgmental and sensitive approach. I believe this is an area where we can make a profound difference to women's lives.
