Sponsor Highlight: Pelvic Pain Rehab

February 26, 2020December 23, 2020 | Bloomin' Uterus

As you may know, we are hosting (along with the non-profit organization, Gifts 2 Help) our 2020 Endometriosis Awareness & Support Walk. This is the first year we’ve asked for sponsorships and today I’d like to honor Pelvic Health & Rehabilitation Center.

Pelvic floor therapy has been shown to help many people suffering with Endometriosis, as well as many other causes of pelvic pain. Not only have PHRC sponsored the event, but they’ll have a booth at the walk! Stephanie Prendergast, MPT and Jandra Mueller, DPT will be available to answer all of your questions!

And if you’re looking forward to our opportunity drawing, they’re also donating two copies of the book Pelvic Pain Explained as well as a free pelvic floor therapy session with Jandra!

Thank you, Stephanie, Jandra, and all the staff at Pelvic Health & Rehabilitation Center for sponsoring our walk, for making yourselves available on the weekend to answer questions, and for such a big supportive force to so many Warriors!

Sponsor Highlight: Mary VanBuhler

February 24, 2020December 26, 2020 | Bloomin' Uterus

A HUGE thank you to Mary for her generous donation for our 2020 Endometriosis Awareness & Support Walk! Mary is a fellow EndoWarrior who has an incredibly positive attitude toward the fight ahead and is here to support other Warriors, too! We’re looking forward to walking with you!

Sponsor Highlight: The San Diego Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence

February 21, 2020December 26, 2020 | Bloomin' Uterus

I cannot tell you how excited I am that the Sisters are officially joining our event! Many of you know Sister Donatella Soul and Saint Angel Con Cuernos, but did you know that several other Sisters have battled Endometriosis, too? So, their booth is near and dear to my heart. “The San Diego Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, The Asylum of the Tortured Heart, performs public service by educating the community on safety and health issues through outreach, promoting awareness through street theater, guiding spiritual enlightenment, abolishing bigotry and hatred and working to end stereotypes. The Asylum supports, works with, and raises funds for other charitable non-profit organizations.” Not only do they do INCREDIBLE things to help San Diego’s community grow and strengthen, but their loving nature and endless support is invaluable in this day and age.

Sponsor Highlight: Natural Harmony Reproductive Health

February 11, 2020December 23, 2020 | Bloomin' Uterus

Natural Harmony Reproductive Health is an integrative clinic dedicated to providing compassionate, integrative, expert reproductive healthcare.

An endo warrior herself, Dr. Merritt Jones specializes in the integrative treatment of endometriosis, recognizing that while no two people’s stories are exactly alike, many endo warriors have faced a long and arduous road and have had to fight to be seen, heard, and properly cared for. She believes that people living with endo deserve better.

Natural Harmony takes an integrative and multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of endo, offering functional medicine evaluation, acupuncture, nutrition therapy, herbal and supplemental therapy, lab testing and lifestyle support and more. The clinic will also happily work alongside patient’s other providers to provide truly integrative and collaborative care.

Not only is Dr. Merritt my as-needed acupuncturist, but she’s a wonderful friend and an incredible support to myself and others in the Endo Community. Her compassion, understanding, and drive to help others is endless.

Sponsor Highlight: Estey & Bomberger, LLP

January 23, 2020December 23, 2020 | Bloomin' Uterus

Leading trial attorneys in San Diego, the firm of Estey & Bomberger litigates personal injury and sexual abuse cases from all over the United States. They have been recognized for their efforts recently in the media for sexual assault cases involving rideshare drivers assaulting passengers, coaches assaulting athletes, teachers assaulting minor students, and members of the clergy assaulting parishioners. While their sexual abuse cases may be emotionally inflammatory and memorable, E&B also handles personal injury cases such as auto v auto, pedestrian v auto, bicyclist v auto, etc.

Not only are they incredible attorneys with great skill and compassion, but they’re the employers of Lisa Howard, the founder of Bloomin’ Uterus. Although this may sound biased, it’s not: they truly do care about their clients and achieving the best outcome possible for each case.

We’d like to extend a HUGE thank you to Steve Estey, Mike Bomberger, and the whole E&B crew for their continuing support of not only our Walk but Lisa’s own personal Endo Journey.

Sponsor Highlight: Dr. Rosebudz

January 22, 2020December 23, 2020 | Bloomin' Uterus

A local supplier of CBD products, Dr. RoseBudz offered a public workshop a few years ago about how CBD products may help those who suffer with Endometriosis. Her products have helped several of our BU EndoSisters. This year not only is Dr. RoseBudz a sponsor of our event, but she will have a booth available at the Walk. Do you have questions? Check her out. And peruse her wares on the day of the event. She’ll offer CBD salves, lotions, full spectrum tinctures, nano tinctures, and suppositories for sale.

We’d like to extend a HUGE thank you to Dr. RoseBudz for her support of not only our Walk, but to the community and to those fighting Endometriosis.

Sponsor Highlight: Special Flower Oil Co

January 10, 2020December 23, 2020 | Bloomin' Uterus

You may remember I wrote about Special Flower Oil Company last year. Not only are Raul and Yuliya friends of mine, but they have created a small business to bring handmade, healthier products into our homes. And with a world of toxins, chemicals, parabens, and who knows what else out there may affect the growth of Endometriosis: I truly appreciate their products.

Not only will Special Flower Oil Company be sponsoring this year’s walk, but they’ll have a booth at the event! You can feel free to pick up some of their hanmade soaps, lotions, perfumes, and other wares!

AND? They’ll be donating a care package gift basket for our opportunity drawing!

Raul and Yuliya, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Not only for your support, but for the wonderful products you create. You’re a glowing beacon of generosity, friendship, and you genuinely care about helping others. ❤

Our walk will take place on March 28, 2020, in San Diego, California. It has traditionally been paid by out-of-pocket expenses, but has grown so large that donations and sponsorships are now a thing! I’m truly honored and super excited to be able to do this walk yet again.

If you would like more information to be able to attend our walk, registration is free (although we are asking for optional donations). Or if you, or someone you know, would be interested in either sponsoring the event or hosting a vendor booth, please contact me! These donations, vendor fees, and sponsorships go toward paying for the cost of the event. And are tax-deductible as a donation to Gifts 2 Help.

Sponsor Highlight: Erin Curlee

January 9, 2020December 23, 2020 | Bloomin' Uterus

Erin made an anonymous donation, which earned her a sponsorship title! She’s been a friend of mine for many years and has been so very supportive of my Endo journey, and the journeys of my EndoSisters. Although she doesn’t reside in San Diego, her presence is well-known in our group and her support is endless.

She’s been truly amazing. And her heartfelt donation took me by surprise and made me hug her all the harder.
