Heba Shaheed
Heba Shaheed is co-founder and CEO of The Pelvic Expert (thepelvicexpert.com), a digital wellbeing platform specializing in maternal, menstrual and hormone health.
Heba was inspired to work in the space following her own challenges with a 15-year history of chronic pelvic pain and endometriosis, and after witnessing the devastating effects of birth injury following her sister's first birth. A qualified physiotherapist, she has supported more than 2000 women on their journey to better health and wellbeing and instructed more than 1200 therapeutic yoga and Pilates exercise classes.
The Pelvic Expert provides holistic and research-based, women-focused, online wellbeing programs to corporates, government, private health insurers, workplaces, and individuals.
Heba is a leading authority on women’s pelvic health and is a media commentator on this important - yet under-represented - issue and a regular speaker at global health and women’s conferences. Sought after for her health expertise, Heba has collaborated with TED-Ed to provide pelvic health educational videos, clocking up four million views on her bladder health video to date.
Heba’s mission is to make women's health information accessible globally and to provide high-quality women's healthcare in the privacy and comfort of a woman's own home. She believes women's healthcare needs to be disrupted so that women can stop suffering in silence.
She is a global leader in holistic, non-surgical, accessible solutions for endometriosis, birth-related pelvic floor complications, and pregnancy back pain.
