is the founder of endokind, an Australian counseling practice for those with endometriosis. Since the 18 year delay in getting her diagnosis, Angie has had multiple surgeries and serious post-surgical complications. Following her most recent surgery, she was rushed back into hospital and admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with life-threatening sepsis. Like many endo patients, she questioned herself and the severity of her deteriorating condition and delayed going back into hospital, which almost cost her her life. @endokind_AU
