SUPPORT GROUP LEADERS
Erin Fernie
Support Group Leader
It has taken me years to accept just how much my endometriosis dictates my life. In 2019 before facing a thoracotomy for another congenital disorder - an aberrant right subclavian artery -I decided to walk away from my film career and shift all my focus onto my health. It continues to be the best decision I have ever made. While it feels like I am physically decaying, my mental health is thriving as I research and interact more with the endometriosis and chronic health communities. I am excited and honoured to be working with Femade to help set the new standard of care for those with chronic pain and invisible illnesses.
Fiona MacDonald
Support Group Leader
I struggled with infertility for 5 years and reoccurring pregnancy loss. The time spent trying to conceive can be extremely lonely and isolating. I was lucky enough to find an amazing community of warriors through social media, and together we supported and lifted each other up when the dark days felt too much.
My hope for this group is to create a sense of community where it’s a safe space to share all the experiences that come along with expanding our families.
