Help Us Empower Women Through Wellness
Hi, I’m Stephanie, founder of Compass Women's Wellbeing
My personal journey has involved multiple surgeries, including two lumpectomies and a bilateral oophorectomy (removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes). Having navigated the challenges of breast cancer, endometriosis, IVF, perimenopause and surgical menopause, autoimmune diseases such as pernicious anaemia, and various other health issues, I have developed a deep understanding of the complexities and uncertainties that accompany these conditions.
Through these experiences, I have gained valuable insights and crafted a holistic approach to living with these health challenges. I understand the physical and emotional toll they can take on a woman’s life.
I am hoping to raise £3000 by the 1st of August for the development of my website www.compasswomenswellbeing.org but I am more than happy to raise £1000 for the chance to be entered into the Built By Her / Backed By Us Crowdfunder Campaign
At Compass Women’s Wellbeing, our mission is to create a safe, supportive space for women to nurture their mental, emotional, and physical health. We believe every woman deserves access to resources, community, and programmes that foster resilience, confidence, and holistic wellbeing.
Vision
To build a community where women feel empowered, connected, and equipped to thrive in all areas of life
We are a holistic initiative dedicated to supporting women facing a range of health challenges, including Cancer, Menopause and Endometriosis, pelvic health issues, ADHD, and Autoimmune Disease.
Our goal is to create a compassionate, inclusive community where women can find understanding, empowerment, and practical support on their health journeys.
Our Programme Goals
Each month, women will come together for a day-long retreat focused on vital health topics - covering cancer awareness, women’s wellbeing, pelvic health, hormonal health, and the impact of ADHD and autoimmune conditions. These retreats will provide a safe space for education, healing, and peer connection.
To ensure ongoing support, we will run weekly online classes that are accessible to women wherever they are. These sessions will be led by health experts and tailored to topics identified by participants, or available as open, informal discussions to foster sharing and community bonding.
Recognising the importance of emotional wellbeing, we will facilitate group therapy sessions, both online and face-to-face, that promote inclusion, understanding, and peer support. These sessions will help women feel heard, valued, and less isolated with their health issues.
Building a Community
Our vision extends beyond individual events. We aim to develop a vibrant, accessible community, both face-to-face and online, so that no woman ever has to feel alone or overwhelmed by her health challenges. This ongoing network will serve as a safe haven, fostering resilience, hope, and shared strength.
The Impact
Through this initiative, we will provide women with vital knowledge, emotional support, and a sense of belonging, transforming feelings of isolation into empowerment. Together, we will nurture a community where women can thrive physically, emotionally, and socially.
We invite you to join us in making Compass Women’s Wellbeing a vital resource for women in our community. Your support will help create a lasting, impactful space where women are supported, understood, and empowered every step of their health journey.

Reasons to back Compass Women's Wellbeing
Women over 45 are at an increased risk for suicide, largely due to the complex hormonal and emotional changes associated with menopause and perimenopause. During this transitional period, many women experience symptoms such as depression, anxiety, mood swings, and feelings of loss or uncertainty, which can significantly impact mental health.
Additionally, women with conditions like Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and endometriosis also face heightened suicide risk. PMDD involves severe emotional and physical symptoms during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, including depression and irritability, which can significantly impair mental health. Endometriosis, a chronic condition causing intense pain and fatigue, can also lead to depression and feelings of despair due to ongoing physical discomfort and impact on quality of life.
Hormonal fluctuations can influence neurotransmitter activity in the brain, potentially triggering worse symptoms of ADHD and other mental health issues. The combination of physical symptoms, life changing events such as Cancer, aging and / or relationship shifts, and reduced social support can contribute to a heightened vulnerability. It is essential to provide support and intervention to promote mental wellbeing for these women.
