Our founder Stephanie Berman recently appeared on The Flare Up Show with Chrissy Cordingley to share her powerful journey through medical gaslighting and complex gynecologic pain. For over 13 years, Stephanie consulted eleven different medical practitioners—ranging from naturopaths to OBGYNs—all of whom failed to provide answers or relief for her condition. Her story reflects the frustrating reality many women face when seeking help for gynecologic pain, often being dismissed or misdiagnosed by healthcare providers.

Everything changed when Stephanie met Dr. Corey Babb at the Haven Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who finally offered proper diagnosis and treatment. This transformative experience inspired Stephanie to establish The AZIZA Project, creating a pathway for other women suffering from similar conditions to access knowledgeable and compassionate medical care. By funding travel and procedure expenses, we connect women with specialists who can provide both physical relief and renewed hope—something Stephanie believes every woman deserves regardless of financial circumstances.
