Our Story
Why did we create Hazel?
We’re on a mission to close the gender pain gap and shine a light on women’s health issues that have been misunderstood and dismissed for far too long.
Like you, we know the struggle of seeking help for ‘female’-specific health issues. From the first painful periods to navigating the complexities of endometriosis, menopause, and everything in between.
We’ve been told our pain is “normal,” “just part of being a woman,” or even “all in our head.”
But it’s not. The truth is, the gender pain gap means our symptoms are often ignored, and our concerns dismissed, leaving us to navigate a healthcare system that wasn’t built with us in mind.
“As I turned to the women in my life, I realised my experience wasn’t unique. The challenges we face in accessing the care we need are shared by so many, and this realisation is what inspired me to create Hazel.”
Grace Tan / Founder
Hazel was built for women, by women - drawing on our collective experiences, we designed the healthcare partner we’ve always needed—a distinctly female-centric model of care.
Hazel is a safe space where your experiences are validated, your voice is heard, and you’re empowered to confidently access the services and treatments you deserve.
Hazel isn’t just a healthcare platform—it’s a movement. A movement to transform women’s healthcare by breaking down barriers, challenging outdated norms, and finally building a system that works for everyone.
Hazel is determined to help women find the healthcare they deserve.
By closing the gender health gap, every one of the 3.9 billion women around the globe could gain an extra seven healthy days a year—adding up to an impressive 500 days over a lifetime. That’s just another reason why we’re driven to help women take charge of their health and their lives.
Not all women menstruate
and not all who menstruate are women.
Throughout our website, we reference ‘women’ to highlight bias and under-researched conditions in healthcare. However, we recognise that many of those affected don’t identify as female. At Hazel, we affirm all pronouns and gender identities and our services are available to anyone assigned female at birth, transgender women, and non-binary individuals.
