Crisis Text Line

CRISIS TEXT LINE SERVES ANYONE IN ANY CRISIS, PROVIDING ACCESS TO FREE, 24/7 SUPPORT AND INFORMATION VIA A MEDIUM PEOPLE ALREADY USE AND TRUST: TEXT.

1) Text PCOS to 741741 from anywhere in the United States or UK, 24/7. We will text about whatever is a crisis to you - addiction, anxiety, assault, bullying, depression, eating disorders, self-harm, and suicide.

2) The Crisis Counselor listens without judgment, invites you to share more and helps you move from a hot moment to a cool calm. You’ll text back and forth, sharing only what you feel comfortable.

3) After 2 automated responses, you'll connect with a live, trained volunteer Crisis Counselor who receives the text on their computer.

4) The goal of the conversation is help you find calm. That may mean sharing resources for you to check out for more help; sometimes it means listening.

5) It usually takes less than 5 minutes to connect you with a Crisis Counselor, maybe longer during busy times.

6) Conversations usually end when you and the Crisis Counselor feel comfortable that you’re in a “cool,” safe place, after 15 - 45 minutes.

Milan Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a popular alternative to waxing and shaving. This is mainly due to the fact that laser hair removal provides permanent results† and is less expensive than maintaining a waxing and shaving routine for a lifetime. Additionally, there’s no recovery time needed after a treatment—so no more doing the waxing-waddle or battling razor burn.

Our treatments are safe, and Authorized Candela Practitioners perform all procedures. We use FDA-cleared lasers that are tailored to your specific skin type & hair color.

Provation Life

Provation Life delivers a scientifically-based, lifestyle-centric approach for women suffering from hormonal imbalance to support their fertility, weight loss, general medical health as well as their menstrual and emotional health. For every woman who is suffering and doesn’t know why, and who is seeking to restore their cyclic balance, Provation Life provides a holistic solution for the short, mid and long term.


Home Test Box

This lab-based screening measures eight hormones associated with PCOS: Cortisol, DHEA, Estradiol, HbA1c, hs-CRP, Progesterone, Testosterone, and TSH. Together, they can give you a better understanding of your hormonal balance and a possible explanation for symptoms you may have been experiencing.

Please keep in mind that this is not a diagnostic test, and PCOS is not the only cause of hormonal imbalances. Additionally, this test does not rule out PCOS, as symptoms among women with PCOS vary widely, and not all women with PCOS will have the same hormonal imbalances.

Did you know that 1 in 8 couples struggle to start a family? And that’s just in the U.S.!  But it doesn’t have to be so frustrating or challenging. My friend and fertility expert,  Marc Sklar, can help you just like he’s helped hundreds of other women with his 6 week online program My Fertility School. Marc, aka The Fertility Expert, has helped women with a range of fertility issues — PCOS, low partner sperm counts, multiple miscarriages, over 40, under 40, and even women who’ve been told there’s a low chance they’ll ever conceive.  If you want an effective way to get pregnant fast and want to do it naturally (without taking unfamiliar over-the-counter hormones), this DIY 6 weeks online fertility course can be what you were waiting for to supercharge your fertility. It also means that you have someone in your corner, answering questions, guiding you, and taking care of the planning part so that you can relax and focus on what needs to be done. It also gives you access to a community of ladies (and to The Fertility Expert). He’ll be there  to guide you and help you.


Crowns By L.A., a for-profit women’s headwear brand.   We are currently in the production phase with an anticipated launch of mid-December of this year.  Our brand is rooted in the empowerment of women’s confidence and self esteem.  Our brand’s goal is to promote the fashionable use of head-wraps and full coverage headwear for all women of all ages, in hopes that we can lessen the stigma associated with them as only products for women suffering from hair-loss, or wanting to hide their hair.  With a purchase of any our headwear products (we call “Crowns”), we would like to make one available for free to a woman suffering from hair-loss as a result of illness or treatments of those illnesses.
