Allow the Happy Pelvis to be a resource to help you advocate for yourself, better understand chronic pelvic pain and help you to find the care + support you deserve.
I have lived with chronic pelvic pain most of my life but had my symptoms dismissed and misdiagnosed for over 15 years. Since 2018 I have been diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis/BPS, Endometriosis, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, Tarlov Cysts, Fibromyalgia and Lupus (SLE).
I hope that what I share on my blog will help others advocate for themselves, better navigate the healthcare system and find the care and treatment they deserve.
I Write
I write as a hobby, to spread awareness and shine light on pelvic pain and my struggles living with chronic illness. What started as a coping strategy, has now turned into something that gives me great meaning and purpose.
I Advocate
I advocate to help ensure a better future for all and to assist pelvic pain patients and their families in coping with their chronic pain and emotional stress.
I Create
I create to put something good into the world. Since becoming chronically ill and unable to work as a designer, it gives me back a sense of purpose and achievement.
What The Community Is Saying
The Happy Pelvis is encouraging, full of helpful resources and directories and accurately covers all the basics of pelvic pain with sensitivity and commonsense. It’s the best patient run site I’ve found where everything is in one place and the information is written really clearly and accurately. It’s the pelvic pain website I’ve been looking for, I send it to everyone who contacts me about pelvic pain and doesn’t know where to start or where to go next.

Helping others has enabled Michelle to find purpose in her pain and I have no doubt that she will continue to offer hope and education to so many through The Happy Pelvis.
