I started Lunalux from my kitchen table after leaving a domestic violence relationship with my eight-week-old daughter. She's nine now. For a long time, building this brand was the thing that kept me going - something to show my daughter that anything is possible when you believe in yourself and your purpose.
Last year, I had an urgent hysterectomy and endometriosis excision surgery. The surgery left me with pudendal neuralgia - a chronic nerve pain condition that affects my pelvis and daily life. Most people have never heard of it. I hadn't either.
Living with 24/7 chronic pain as a solo mum, while running a business, while trying to show up for my daughter - it's not something I talk about lightly. But I talk about it because I think silence is part of the problem. One in nine women has endometriosis. Most wait nearly a decade for a diagnosis. The irony of a period pain founder navigating all of this isn't lost on me. If anything, it's made me more certain that Lunalux needs to exist.
