Heal your bladder with Mary Cotter

IS YOUR BLADDER CONTROLLING (& LIMITING) YOUR LIFE?

Chronic bladder pain from interstitial cystitis or UTIs can have you feeling fed-up, misunderstood and downright miserable. Chances are, you’re at your wit’s end. 

You’re tired of not being taken seriously by your medical team, or being told: “it’s all in your head”. Urine samples are coming back “normal”, and you’ve been given the “all clear” by your GP — despite ongoing symptoms.

Day after day, you feel exhausted and frustrated that nobody can find a solution. You’ve done the multiple rounds of antibiotics. You’ve tried the restrictive diets. And you’re starting to wonder if you’re “unfixable”. You’ve started telling yourself, “maybe this is just my life now”.

  •  Your relationship is starting to deteriorate. Sex is off the agenda again, and the thought of getting intimate makes you squirm.

  • You feel trapped as you watch your life become completely and utterly controlled by your bladder.

... And so you push the pain aside and tell yourself to just get on with it. But the more you ignore it, the more the problems thrive.

There has to be another way...

YOUR NEW BLADDER STORY

We’re about to rewrite the narrative. To wave goodbye to myths and cookie-cutter advice. To find a clear path forward to lasting relief. To a life where...

  • You’re beaming with smiles and glowing with confidence. This is a whole new you, and people have started to notice.

  • Things with you and your other half have never been hotter or more fun, you’re like a pair of teenagers again and you’re excited about what the future holds for your relationship.

  • You relish each and every season for the opportunities to make memories with your nearest and dearest, because you have the energy and positive outlook to thrive all year round.

  • Your diary is packed full of lovely occasions, days out and trips that you’re looking forward to. And there’s also deliberate gaps in there so you can say, “YES!” to spontaneous plans.

  • That dream holiday on your vision board is more than a pipe dream - you’ve got your plane ticket and you are oh-so-ready to do some exploring.

  • You trust in and feel at home in your body, knowing that you’re working in sync and have everything you need to care for yourself.

Foods that promote bladder health
Hi I'm Mary Cotter

Hi, I’m Mary

WHY I’M FIRED UP ABOUT HELPING WOMEN LIKE YOU TO HEAL

My approach is different to most of the advice out there, both online and offline. Why? Because I’ve lived this experience, and I understand first-hand how it feels to be in your shoes. Rather than cutting out a long list of foods, I will encourage you to reintroduce foods to your diet. Foods that you love and that love you back. 

My journey started exactly where you are today — in pain, feeling hopeless and desperately searching for a solution. Following an unresolved urinary tract infection, I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis (IC). And truthfully, it had a totally devastating effect on my life (read more here).

I needed to pee every 20 minutes; I couldn’t walk to the shop or carry a shopping bag without lying down, and sitting on a chair for more than a few minutes was agony due to pelvic pain.

My abdomen was permanently swollen, and wearing trousers, jeans or anything tight-fitting was impossible!  

I was in chronic pain, scared, lonely and downright miserable. My bladder was controlling and limiting my life.

It doesn’t have to be this way for you.

WHAT MAKES HEAL YOUR BLADDER DIFFERENT

So you might be thinking, “But Mary, I’ve tried switching up my diet and cutting out bladder ‘trigger’ foods before, and it didn’t work”. And all my tests came back “normal”.  

I know, so many other solutions out there focus solely on the bladder but I take a whole-body approach. The gut, vagina, bladder, nervous system, pelvic floor - it’s all interconnected and to return balance, we need to support your body as a whole.  

When you work with me on my Heal your Bladder programme, you get access to a vast range of clinical health tests using advanced gene technology from reputable clinical laboratories you can rely on including: comprehensive urine analysis, vaginal microbiome and gut health testing. Some tests are included in the programme, others can be added as required.

We’ll run a urinary and vaginal microbiome test which provides information on the microbes that reside there using DNA based technology. This is a fantastic option if your chronic UTI symptoms persist, despite a negative urine culture. INCLUDED.

We’ll also rule out vitamin D deficiency which is essential for UTI prevention. INCLUDED.

You won’t find restrictive IC diet advice here. This is a whole-body approach and your symptoms are taken seriously.

WE ADDRESS

  • Bladder inflammation

  • Your urinary and vaginal microbiomes

  • Stress (because being in constant pain is stressful!)

  • Immune health

  • Gut health

  • Pelvic floor health

  • Mindset, and so much more.

By combining clinical testing and tailored nutritional assessment, we can fine-tune any imbalances, address symptoms and get you on the path to a happier, healthier bladder.

It’s been long enough.

THIS PROGRAMME IS FOR YOU IF:

  • You know what you’re currently doing is not working and you’re ready for a new approach from an expert who’s been there

  • You’re ready to introduce healing foods 

  • You’re ready to ditch the IC diet.

THIS PROGRAMME’S NOT FOR YOU IF:

  • You want to follow the IC diet 

  • You’re not ready to try a whole-body solution 

  • You don’t believe you have any control over your health.

FAQS

  • I cannot guarantee results, as your success lies in your hands and within your actions. This programme is 50% me, 50% you - but I guarantee that I will be guiding you every step of the way!​ Everyone's body is unique and while I can give you all the tools and knowledge you need to support a healthy bladder everyone's journey varies.

  • Monthly 1:1 calls will be delivered via Zoom. You will receive an email with a Zoom link before your session. After your initial consultation, we will also arrange a 30-minute check-in call to chat about your progress and answer any questions you may have. I also offer ongoing chat support throughout the programme, so you feel supported at each stage of the process.

  • I do! You have the choice to pay in full for a one-off payment of €3997 at the beginning of the programme, or you can opt for a monthly payment plan of 6 x payments of €699.

  • It depends on the severity of your symptoms and what we’re dealing with. I tailor all advice to your specific needs. I’m not a huge fan of extreme food elimination diets because food intolerance is not the root problem – it’s merely a symptom of unhappy gut/bladder dysfunction. I believe that when we sort out the underlying issues and support a healthy bladder and gut, food intolerances usually go away.

  • I will let you know if I think additional testing would be helpful in your particular case so you have all the information available to you. For instance, the option to add comprehensive stool testing, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) testing, or specific blood tests but there is zero obligation to make any further commitments. I will recommend supplements to support your bladder journey and these are charged separately. All my Heal your Bladder clients get a 10% lifetime discount on supplements.

  • I have a referral network of private GPs (medical practitioners) who I can refer you to if you wish to seek further medical support or prescriptions (fees apply).

  • I'm a Registered Nutritional Therapist (mBANT, CNHC) with ten years experience. My experience extends to consultancy work for BBC Scotland TV and Radio, the cancer charity Rainbow Valley, Nuffield Health, Peppy Health, and Revive Yoga Breaks. I'm a published co-author in this academic paper evaluating weight loss programmes. My main areas of expertise are gut health and bladder pain as a result of dealing with my own painful bladder condition. You can read more about me here. Now I love to help others break the cycle of chronic bladder pain and find the freedom to love life again.​​

  • It’s time to forget everything you’ve been told about your bladder. A simple search on Google will produce an entire slew of advice on “managing” your symptoms. From filling your shopping cart with a restrictive, boring list of food, to the cupboards packed with “miracle-cure” aloe vera supplements. Not to mention the multiple rounds of antibiotics and antihistamines that didn’t deliver on promise.

  • FOOD IS NOT THE ENEMY. In fact, the right food can help reduce inflammation, calm your nervous system and soothe your bladder. How do I know this? Visit my story
