Meet our founder

Hey I'm Polly,

After heavy bleeding and floods, feeling exhausted and run down, I was diagnosed with fibroids in 2024.

Like many women, I didn't need surgery and I opted out of contraceptive treatment. I wasn't offered a follow up and I felt confused and uncertain about my condition, unsure what to do.

I went straight to the internet to find alternative treatments; homeopathic options, supplements, diets, accupuncture - anything. I spent time money on anything I thought might help. Much of it didn't.

I quickly learnt there isn't much known about fibroids, despite it affecting so many women - often with life limiting symptoms. So I decided something needs to change.

I'm building Leio to help all women with fibroids navigate this journey, to feel empowered and in control of their condition.

Less time searching. More time knowing. 

A tracking tool that turns your symptoms into data you can take into your GP appointment, instead of hoping you remember the right details at the right moment. 

Products curated around your actual symptoms. Not a generic wellness aisle. Not things that might help. Things that women in our community have named by name, or that the clinical evidence supports. 

Content that explains what’s happening without asking you to read a full journal article. 

And a community that already knows what you’re going through, so you don’t have to explain it from scratch every time.

Our beliefs

Being dismissed is not the same as being fine.  Just because fibroids are ‘common’, doesn’t mean they're ‘acceptable’.

Living with pain, missing work, and being told to wait is not something any woman should just absorb. 

We believe honest information, including what we don’t know and what the research is still working out, is more useful than false reassurance. 

We are not a wellness brand. We are not trying to make you feel better without giving you anything real. We are not going to sell you a supplement without telling you exactly what it does, what the evidence is, and what it won’t do.  We’re on your side.

Our mission

To turn fibroids from a confusing and dismissed condition into something women can clearly understand, manage, and navigate with confidence — using what actually works.
