What We Do

Period Education
Breaking the Cycle of Shame
We offer free, inclusive period education in schools and communities. Our workshops are fun, honest, and empowering. Giving young people the knowledge and confidence to understand their bodies without shame.

Endometriosis Support
Led by Lived Experience
We support people living with endometriosis through education, advocacy, and community connection. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been battling for years, we're here to help you feel seen, supported, and not alone.

Period Poverty Relief
Access Is a Right, Not a Privilege
We provide free period items to people in our local community—because no one should have to choose between food and period products. Our mahi supports individuals, whānau, and local organisations working with those impacted by poverty, homelessness, or crisis.

Shop to Support
Every Purchase Makes a Difference
Our online store is packed with endo-friendly, period-positive products we love and trust. 100% of profits go back into our work funding education, support, and free period items for the community.

Every dollar helps someone access education or period care.

All sales help fund our education & free period product programs.

Yessenia Sandoval- She/They

Founder/Charity Director

“La unión hace la fuerza – Unity makes strength.”
Endo Warriors Aotearoa was founded by Yessenia, a proud Latina wahine born in Wellington, whose journey through endometriosis, infertility, and chronic pain inspired her to create the community she once needed. We're a charity led by lived experience, fighting to improve endometriosis care, end period poverty, and provide free, stigma-free education across Aotearoa. Whether it’s donating period products, delivering workshops, or advocating for better treatment, we stand for those who are often unseen and unheard.

"It was on this page that I first became aware of the symptoms I was living with most of my life, I had no idea what endometriosis was until I saw the creator of this page share on her personal page about her Endometriosis Journey so I decided to check the page out, A few months later I was rushed to Hospital and was diagnosed with Mild Endometriosis, I am grateful to be part of this Amazing Support Group, This page has made me more aware of my illness and has given me the knowledge and tools to use when dealing with my GP, Gynaecologist and even trying to explain to my Family and Friends what Endometriosis is, I feel empowered and don't feel I'm on this Journey alone, I am so grateful for Endo Warriors Aotearoa"

Testimonials

"I just wanted to message and say thank you for everything you do. I struggled with endo for years and I wish I had something like this page while I was going through it all. I felt so alone and like no one was experiencing the pain that I was, so I am so glad that others have this page. please let me know if I can help in any way, I would be honoured to support such an amazing person ❤"

"Thanks to Instagram accounts like yours I would have not learnt about the ins and outs of endometriosis. Reading your guy's stuff and relating to it made me realise I might have endo. Luckily I advocated for myself and now I'm just waiting for my lab results."
