Your pain is real. Your symptoms make sense. And there's a plan.

Comprehensive endometriosis care from a clinician who's been where you are.

“She made me feel safe, comfortable and heard, giving me reassurance that my pain was real.”

You've been fighting for years.

Fighting to be believed. Fighting to get a diagnosis. Fighting to find something — anything — that actually works.

You've tried the birth control. Maybe multiple kinds. The side effects were sometimes worse than the disease.

You've had the surgery. Maybe felt hope for the first time in years. And then watched the pain come back.

You've seen the specialists — the GYN, the GI doc, the pelvic floor PT, maybe a naturopath. But no one talks to each other. No one sees the full picture. And you're left coordinating your own care, Googling symptoms at 2 AM, wondering if this is just your life now.

The exhaustion isn't just from the pain. It's from years of being dismissed. Being told it's "just cramps." Being told to "lose weight" or "just get pregnant" or "try another pill."

You're not crazy. You're not dramatic. And you're not alone.

This is for you if:

  • You've spent years being dismissed — told your pain was "normal" or "in your head"
  • Birth control didn't work, or the side effects left you feeling like a different person
  • You had excision surgery and felt hope for the first time... until the pain came back
  • You're exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix — the kind of fatigue that makes you feel lazy when you know you're not
  • You're spending hundreds a month on appointments that don't talk to each other
  • You've been told "just take ibuprofen" when ibuprofen stopped working years ago
  • You've researched endometriosis for months (or years) and probably know more than some of the doctors you've seen
  • You've wondered if you'll ever feel like yourself again

If you're exhausted from fighting for care and ready for a provider who believes you — keep reading.

What makes this different

You don't have to prove anything. Your pain is real — even when your labs look "normal" and your ultrasound looks "fine." You don't have to convince me.

You're working with someone who's been there. Two excision surgeries. Years of birth control that didn't work. I was ready to schedule a hysterectomy when I finally found what actually helped.

This isn't just birth control or surgery. I address the whole picture — gut health, hormone regulation, nervous system, pelvic floor, nutrition, and yes, the stuff no one wants to talk about like painful sex.

I respect what you already know. You've done the research. You've been in the Reddit threads and Facebook groups. I'm not threatened by that — I welcome it.

No supplement sales funnel. I recommend supplements at cost. Buy them wherever you want. I don't profit from product sales.

Every intervention is evidence-based. Peer-reviewed research, not guesswork. Not "detox" or "cleanse" or vague promises about "hormone balance."

Heather Yoshimura, NP

I know what it's like to do everything right and still be in pain.

Two excision surgeries — one by a co-founder of the Endometriosis Foundation of America. Years of birth control. Every diet. Every supplement. I was ready to schedule a hysterectomy in my late 20s.

What changed wasn't another surgery or another pill. It was finally understanding how everything connects — the inflammation, the hormones, the nervous system, the gut — and addressing them together instead of one at a time.

I spent years being the patient who was dismissed, doubted, and told to "just manage it." Now I'm the provider I wish I'd had.

I built Luteal Health because no one should have to fight this hard just to be believed.

Three steps to get started.

1

Tell Me Your Story

Fill out a short screening form so I understand your situation before we ever meet. This isn't a 15-minute appointment where you have to convince me your pain is real.

2

Get Your Roadmap

In a comprehensive assessment, we map exactly what's happening — and you leave with a clear, personalized plan. Not a generic handout.

3

Start Healing

Four months of coordinated care where every system gets addressed, every question gets answered, and you finally stop managing this alone.

Here's what happens if nothing changes.

Another year of coordinating your own care across specialists who don't talk to each other. Another year of trial-and-error with birth control that makes you feel like a stranger in your own body. Another year of wondering if this is just your life now.

Most women with endo spend $13,000–$16,000 per year on fragmented care — appointments, supplements, PT, acupuncture — with no systematic plan and no way to know if any of it is working.

The first step is a 45-minute Comprehensive Assessment where I listen to your full story, connect the dots across your symptoms, and map out exactly what's happening in your body. You'll leave with clarity — whether or not you decide to continue working with me.

What becomes possible.

Waking up with energy. Planning trips without fear of flares. Having sex without dreading the pain. Feeling heard by your provider — maybe for the first time.

That's not a fantasy. It's what happens when all the pieces finally come together.

Working with Heather has been such a gift during a time when I felt overwhelmed and discouraged. I had surgery in 2022 for stage 4 endometriosis and was still in pain afterward. I was seriously considering a hysterectomy at 30 because I felt like I had no other options. Since then, I've learned how inflammation, stress, estrogen dominance, and many other factors can affect symptoms. My periods have been mostly pain free — something I never thought I would be able to say. I got emotional when my cycle started and I didn't even realize it. I was so used to the pain hitting me like a train days before. Heather brings so much compassion and understanding to this work. I feel heard, supported, and more in tune with my body.
