Our story

My name is Roxanne.
Like many women,
I have had a vaginal infection.

At first I did not really pay attention. The symptoms seemed mild, passing, something that would clear up on its own.

But it did not.

Over time I understood that this infection, not caught early enough, had a real impact on my health, and even on my fertility.

What I went through made me realise something simple: even today, it is hard to recognise the signs of a vaginal imbalance.

Between a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis or simple irritation, the symptoms can look alike, get confusing, and cost you time.

And often we wait. We doubt ourselves. We play it down.

That is where Santelle came from

I created Santelle with one clear idea: to help women understand their symptoms better and act sooner.

Not with complicated solutions, but with a simple, accessible tool designed for everyday life.

An approach that is both personal and scientific

Trained as a biomedical engineer specialising in women’s health, I wanted to turn that experience into something useful.

Santelle was born where my own story met my scientific expertise.

With one aim: to make vaginal infections easier to spot early, and to stop a simple imbalance from becoming a more serious problem.

Giving back clarity and control

Today Santelle supports women who want to understand their intimate health better, recognise the signs of a vaginal infection, and make calmer, better informed decisions.

Because feeling good in your body starts with understanding it.
