Maree is a Mum of 3 and Nanree to 3 grandchildren. She has shared the life defining-challenges of endometriosis and adenomyosis through her daughter, who developed symptoms at the age of eight. The challenges when symptomatic affect all facets of her life.
Brianna is committed to helping other 'endowarriors' and became a nurse, working through Covid-19 in Monash Health's emergency department. Brianna understands the challenges with fertility and pregnancy risk, and is now a fertility nurse. She and husband Daniel, a paramedic, welcomed son Oliver, in August 2022.
Maree's niece Alicia was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2023, and after undergoing treatment, welcomed daughter Margot with husband Nick, in May 2024.
Friends for over 4 decades, we have shared every joy and challenge.
We are so grateful to work together to empower others through
Endo Encompass.

She has extensive experience using cognitive-behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, a range of existential approaches and mindfulness based interventions.
She is qualified in medical hypnosis and uses this for the treatment of cancer related sleep disorder, phobic and conditioned responses. She has a special interest in sexuality and is experienced in a range of specific interventions.
In addition to Endometriosis, Jane's special interests include breast, gynaecological, prostate, bowel, lung and haematological cancers.
