Arleigh's Story

Arleigh's journey with her health issues began at a very young age, and her resilience has proven to make her the perfect advocate for patients. Her lived experience with extensive endometriosis and comorbidities has provided her with vast knowledge of the healthcare system. She works alongside both patients and providers, using her experience to change policy and push for state and federal legislation. Arleigh helps people navigate the landscapes of endometriosis as well as other overlapping autoimmune diseases, educating and coaching clients so they can take control of their health and find the best providers to help them. Her personal experience has shaped her life, and her focus is turning her "pain into purpose" by helping others.

Arleigh publicly shares her story to help others and teams up with several organizations and nonprofits to raise awareness. As an active member of the Connecticut Working Group for Endometriosis and the Women's Health Advocates Endo/Adeno Coalition, she has testified at the Connecticut State Capitol and traveled to the Capitol in DC for congressional briefings. She has spoken on various panels to bring change and increase funding for endometriosis.

Working with researchers, educators, and advocates, Arleigh is spreading awareness for not only endometriosis but also period equity and issues that predominantly affect women's health. Arleigh has raised large monetary donations for various nonprofits and organizes yearly period product drives for those in need. She continues to work on changing the health curriculum in schools to properly educate teens about their menstrual and sexual health. Her passion to make change to better the lives of young girls is inspiring.
