Join us for an enlightening conversation between EEFA founder Nicole Notar and Dr. Clauda Chisari - a pioneering researcher and clinician in pelvic pain conditions.

As the first person in the UK to complete a PhD focused on vulvodynia, Dr. Chisari brings both personal experience and professional expertise to this overlooked area of women's health.

In this episode, Dr. Chisari shares her journey from vulvodynia patient to pioneering researcher, offering crucial insights about what vulvodynia is, why it's frequently misdiagnosed, and its comprehensive impact on daily life.

She explores the intricate connections between endometriosis and other pelvic pain conditions, examining the roles of hormones, inflammation, and the immune system.

Dr. Chisari also discusses breakthrough multidisciplinary treatments combining pelvic floor physiotherapy and psychological support, while providing practical strategies for self-advocacy in healthcare settings and daily pain management.

Dr. Chisari discusses her latest innovation, Bloume Health—a digital platform launching in June 2025 that combines psychological therapy, pelvic floor physiotherapy, and relationship support for those experiencing pelvic pain.

"You are not alone. This pain is valid. And feeling better—even if it's not linear—is absolutely possible." — Dr. Claudia Chisari
