“This app and the community support help me feel less alone, more informed, and better prepared for this and any future surgeries I have.
I was better prepared for recovery, I had all the tools I needed because of the info in the app and the experiences shared by the community. I've been eating better, I've felt confident in my movement and returning to exercise at a pace that is safe for my recovery, but also feels satisfying”

I woke up from my surgery to a no endo diagnosis and immediately felt the spiral of what-if, what-now questions. The Matilda app and community support team was there to hold me in a time of vulnerability and answer the myriad of questions that come along with a no diagnosis that are often not answered by your care team. I genuinely was on the ward post-op listening to the app videos and it was a great resource to soothe my worries. I now feel equipped to navigate the next steps of my pelvic pain journey. While I did not receive a diagnosis, I still have a really positive experience of my laparoscopy.

“Matilda has helped me feel less alone during this journey. It also guided me through the process to help me understand how to feel better, but also that it’s ok to not be ok.”

The support I received from the Matilda group, as well as my MDT including Dr XXX was unmatched and incredibly helpful.

“I can’t thank the Matilda team and community enough for their support in the lead up to my surgery and post surgery support. “

“I have found Matilda so helpful. All the content really aligned with how I was feeling pre and post surgery and it made me feel so comfortable and confident about the whole process.”

“I felt reassured, it was a very short gap between being diagnosed and then going through the surgery. Using this program also made me realise I am not alone which can be very scary when you are suddenly diagnosed with a condition and then being told you have to go under for a surgery. This app genuinely helped me so much mentally and stopped me from doomscrolling, it really kept me calm. I was in a very bad mental head space when diagnosed. I am so glad my surgeon recommended this program to me”

"Navigating surgery for endometriosis can feel overwhelming, but having Matilda made such a difference. It’s like having a knowledgeable friend by your side, offering expert-backed advice, practical tools, and a supportive space to help you feel more prepared and less alone. The resources are there when you need them, without pressure, making it easy to engage at your own pace. I wish I had something like this during my previous surgeries, it truly helps you go into the experience with more confidence and clarity."

“It has been a privilege to co-design this surgery optimisation program.
For my previous surgery, there were so many unknowns, many unanswered questions and lots of anxiety. I hope that this program will help you relax, prepare and feel confident before and after your surgery, even if you don’t get a diagnosis. Your pain is real and the Matilda team is here to support you during this important stage of your journey.”

“The Matilda app has been incredible. My first surgery was with Dr ABC and my second with Dr XYZ —both fantastic surgeons, but there was a huge gap in pre- and post-op support from both of them. What the Matilda Health team have created is truly impactful and such a valuable resource for people going through this journey.”

“Very informative, shame this wasn't around years ago, as my symptoms were dismissed from the age of 14, now 51.”

”I’m feeling really optimistic about my recovery this time round due to having access to this program. I’ve never had good recovery and I feel like it’s been the lack of guidance on how to support my body”

“I wish Matilda was around when I was younger and had no support with my Endometriosis and Laparoscopic surgeries. This program is so supportive and informative, I look forward to being supported in my recovery and future health”
