About Womb Wellness

A space where women feel heard, informed and supported

Womb Wellness is a West Midlands community project supporting women affected by womb-related health conditions. We combine lived experience, practical learning and peer connection in welcoming, culturally sensitive spaces.

Our sessions are non-clinical. We help women understand their experiences, discover useful ways to manage everyday wellbeing and feel more confident when navigating health services.

Nutrition & wellbeing

Practical, culturally sensitive guidance to support everyday womb wellness—including a safe introduction to herbs.

Herbs & womb wellness

We introduce selected herbs and explore their traditional and cultural uses alongside what is—and is not—supported by medical evidence.

  • Dog Blood Bush — Rivina humilis
  • Red raspberry leaf — Rubus idaeus
  • Cramp bark — Viburnum opulus
  • Nettle leaf — Urtica dioica
  • How to identify herbal products correctly and when to ask for professional advice

Please note: Traditional use does not prove that an herb treats a womb condition. Herbs do not replace medical care and can cause side effects or interact with medicines. Please check with a pharmacist, GP or suitably qualified medical herbalist—especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to conceive or taking medication.

Our story

A journey from pain to purpose

Womb Wellness grew from founder Natalie Walker’s own experience of years of painful, heavy periods and symptoms that were too often dismissed as “normal”. As the pain intensified, it began to affect her daily life, energy and emotional wellbeing.

After continuing to push for answers and undergoing medical investigations, Natalie was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis, PCOS and fibroids. The answers were overwhelming, but also validating: her pain was real, and understanding what was happening became the beginning of a new chapter.

Natalie created Womb Wellness so other women would not have to feel unheard or face that journey alone. Together with trustees Brandy Murray and Cassie Walker, she is building a warm, culturally sensitive community shaped by lived experience.

Through free workshops, accessible resources, caregiver guidance and honest conversations, we help women understand their bodies, prepare for healthcare appointments and feel more confident asking for support.

“Your pain deserves to be heard. Your questions deserve answers. Your experience matters.”
01

Being unheard

Living with severe symptoms and knowing that “normal” should not mean suffering in silence.

02

Finding answers

Seeking information, asking questions and finding language for experiences that can feel isolating.

03

Building community

Turning lived experience into welcoming spaces where women and caregivers can learn and connect.

Our stories brought us together

Womb Wellness is led by women whose own experiences inspire them to help others feel heard, informed and less alone.

Read Natalie’s story

I discovered I had endometriosis after years of painful, heavy periods that were often dismissed as “normal.” As the pain became more intense, it began affecting my daily life, energy and emotional wellbeing.

After pushing for answers and undergoing medical investigations, I was finally diagnosed. The diagnosis was overwhelming but validating—it confirmed that my pain was real. It also marked the beginning of a journey towards understanding my body, advocating for my health and supporting other women facing similar struggles.

Bringing personal insight into the importance of early understanding and support.

Read Brandy’s story

I began my menstrual cycle at the early age of nine and experienced severe pain from the start. I was still in primary school, and because my peers had not started their periods, I did not fully understand what was happening.

When I was 14, I collapsed during class and was taken to hospital. After multiple tests, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). That experience shaped my understanding of why young women need to be listened to, informed and supported.

Helping women feel believed while raising awareness of adenomyosis.

Read Cassie’s story

I had difficult periods from the time they began, with painful cramps, tender breasts, vomiting, bleeding that lasted 10 to 14 days, hot flushes, chills and shivering.

In January 2025, my existing symptoms became worse and I developed new nerve pain. For the first time, I finally had an answer—one I had never heard of before: adenomyosis. My experience is why I believe awareness, understanding and being taken seriously matter so much.
