Meet our nurses
Emma Louise
Creator of Nu-V
Emma Louise is the Nu-V creator and Managing Director of The Women’s Health Clinic. While awaiting a diagnosis for her own problems caused through childbirth, the urology nurse realised what was lacking from her treatment – friendly advice from a dedicated nurse and appointments that were generous with time and ran to schedule. With her knowledge of lasers she developed Nu-V to maintain her condition, and solve many other women’s health related issues. From stress incontinence caused by childbirth, to dryness from ageing and menopause. Emma is on hand to help with all urology and Nu-V queries.
