Pull up a chair 🪑!
I’m glad that you found me.
I thought it was time that I reintroduced myself again properly here!
I’m Kelly, and I’m the founder of Hysterectomy Support and Shared Experiences. I’ve been here creating all of this for the last 12 years (aka fighting tech 🫣)!
Everything I do has been built from my own lived experience, lots of stubbornness, heaps of compassion, and a refusal to let people go through a hysterectomy feeling frightened and alone.
I support people through hysterectomy before, during and after surgery. Not just with practical prep and recovery support, but through the emotional side too. All of the “what the hell is happening to me?” moments that people are so often left to navigate alone.
Far too many people are still being sent into hysterectomy with:
Barely any preparation,
Generic leaflets,
Conflicting information,
Gaslighting and dismissal,
Unrealistic recovery expectations,
And, a fake smile pasted over horribly real fear.
I can’t package everything up in perfect pastel “healing journey” language all the time.
My spaces are honest, compassionate, sometimes funny, sometimes messy.
Often emotionally feral at 2am.
And that’s fine with me.
I’m fiercely protective of them and the people in them.
Having a hysterectomy is not just about a decent pillow, scar healing, and hospital bags.
It’s about feeling seen, feeling safe, feeling informed and feeling less alone.
My brain genuinely operates like seventeen browser tabs, three voice notes, a business strategy, an existential crisis and a Tesco shopping list all open at the same time. But somehow… it works.
I know my stuff. I advocate hard.
I’ve built my communities to be the places that I wish existed when I was pre surgery, feeling scared and dismissed.
So wherever you are in this journey, you belong here.
The next chapter of Hysterectomy Support and Shared Experiences is going to be even more honest, and very human.
You deserve better hysterectomy support than just “you’ll be fine.”
And I fully intend to keep providing it 🙌.
