A big win for me this weekend was taking my daughter to the park and not being uncomfortable! I was in the moment, watching her enjoy herself, which was amazing! I didn't think I'd ever take her to the park again, much less chase her around and help her with playground contraptions. It was such a magical moment, and I'm so happy about it!
Things are really good! My symptoms have been low - just the littlest twinge. I feel like that's good considering the craziness that's been going on! One year ago I was on medication and totally unable to travel. Husband gets home tonight and then I'm off tomorrow morning. I would never have done that before!
I seriously feel like myself again. My son is happier too because he has his mom back. You seriously changed my life! We are headed to Spain today! I have been feeling great and owe it all to you!

Our Story
Alena and Joana, helsa's founders, suffered with IC for many years.
Joana began experiencing UTI symptoms in her early 20s, was consistently dismissed by the health system leaving her for years without answers. She retrained as a nutritionist, lives symptom free and helps other women to find relief from IC.
Alena has been dealing with sporadic symptoms for years and also realized women just aren't being given the right information or support leaving them miserable and to deal with these symptoms alone.
With Alena's background in tech, and Joana's deep experience in IC care, they realized there had to be another way.
