Welcome to
Women's Whole Health Initiative
Aarogyam UK is pleased to set up independent initiative in the UK to support women across the spectrum of their life from generalized health, pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, children and families, mental health, reproductive health and menopause.
We are working with girls and women from diverse backgrounds with a targeted interest in Black, Asian, Minority & Ethnic communities and mixed heritage backgrounds to pursue whole health and well-being of women are at the heart of health equity.
Our Focus Areas
Hormonal Health
Female hormones have a direct effect on multiple facets of women's health, not only reproduction and fertility, therefore it's critical to understand how these hormones affect overall wellness. Understanding the role of hormones in the body allows you to make the best lifestyle choices for a healthy endocrine system.
Maternal Health
Whole health is a common good that benefits people, families, and communities. Maternal health of women focuses during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period. Each stage must be positive experience, ensuring women and their babies reach their full potential for health and well-being.
