Our new logo and the story behind the design

The Meaning Behind the Iris Wings Logo:

“Iris Wings: Sanctuary for Endometriosis Surgery & Wellness” has multiple symbolic meanings, but ultimately conveys a message of hope, healing, and comprehensive care. The name combines symbolic elements of courage, freedom and support with a clear focus on specialized medical treatment, surgery, and a multidisciplinary approach to healing and reclaiming your life from Endometriosis

IRIS

The symbolism of the iris flower – my namesake – encompasses themes of wisdom, valor, hope, faith, connection, and protection.

WISDOM AND VALOR

In ancient Greece, the iris flower was associated with Iris, the messenger goddess who traveled between the earth and the heavens. Because of this association, the iris came to symbolize wisdom and valor. As someone that lived in chronic endo pain myself, my goal is for my patients to transcend through their pain under the wings of someone that not just has the medical know-how and skill set; but as someone that has walked your path, can empathize with exactly what you’re going through, and most importantly: believes your pain, and has the toolkit to get you on the other side of it! Get ready to blossom into your new pain free life like a beautiful iris flower.

CONNECTION AND COMMUNICATION

Due to its association with the messenger goddess Iris in Greek mythology, the iris can also symbolize communication and connection. So much of what I do is linked to communication skills: it is emotional, taxing, and draining navigating a life with endometriosis. I know this first hand. I communicate with my patients with love, compassion, understanding and with clear guardrails of what needs to be done to get you on the path to healing and living a pain free life.

PROTECTION

In some cultures, the iris flower is believed to have protective qualities. I am hyper protective of my patients; I am protective of your physical health as much as your mental. Pain management and remedy at Iris Wings is truly head to toe multidisciplinary care, and to get to that place, it is essential my patients feel safe and protected.

WINGS

Wings represent freedom, protection, and support. They evoke the idea of being lifted and carried to a place of safety and care. Wings also symbolize the ability to rise above challenges, reflecting the journey of those dealing with endometriosis.

The logo is an evolution of my ‘Angel Wing’ logo, the additional angel wing creates the appearance of ‘Wings’, plural, to represent the additional angels on my team that share my ethos and commitment to beating endo.

SANCTUARY

A sanctuary is a place of refuge, safety, and peace. It suggests a welcoming and nurturing environment where patients can find solace and comprehensive care.

SURGERY & WELLNESS

Both surgical interventions and overall wellness for those affected by Endometriosis. The need for a skilled excision surgeon in tandem with holistic approaches to treatment; addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of the condition.
