I’m Mary Cotter, an expert in bladder health and a nutritional therapy practitioner with over a decade's experience in integrative health.

But here’s what I learned: healing is possible.

That’s why I created The Heal your Bladder Podcast. The podcast for women navigating the physical and emotional toll of bladder pain. Whether it’s IC, recurring, embedded, or chronic UTIs, I’m here to help you uncover the root causes, restore balance, and find the freedom to love life again.

Through my own healing journey, 11+ years of supporting clients, and expert interviews, we’ll explore practical steps and mindset shifts to create a path to freedom that works for you.
