If stress flares your gut, sleep or hormones, try these gentle reset tips: protein-first mornings, warm simple meals, a short walk after eating, and one boundary that protects your energy.
Your body doesn’t need perfection — it needs support

November shines a light on diabetes — a condition that’s more common than we realise and deeply connected to our hormones, gut health, and stress levels.

In this blog, I share how naturopathic and holistic care can support people living with or at risk of diabetes, including Type 1, Type 2 and Gestational diabetes.

You’ll learn about the early signs like insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, how conditions such as SIBO and perimenopause intertwine with blood-sugar balance, and how technology like continuous glucose monitors can help you (and your practitioner) better understand your body’s unique patterns.

It’s all about small, sustainable steps — the kind that bring calm, balance, and energy back into your daily life.

Read more to explore gentle, practical naturopathic ways to support your blood sugar, hormones, and gut health this November.

Menopause marks a powerful new stage of life — a natural transition that deserves care, balance, and understanding. In my latest blog, “Menopause and Healthy Ageing: Supporting Your Body’s Next Chapter Naturally,” I explore how naturopathy and Body Balance Treatments can support women through perimenopause, menopause, and healthy ageing. Learn how to nurture bone strength, heart health, joint mobility, urinary and pelvic wellbeing, and mineral balance using gentle, holistic strategies — including insights from Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) to help you age with strength, calm, and vitality.

Struggling with bloating or gut issues but it’s not SIBO? Discover other causes such as, hormones, gastroparesis, nervous system dysregulation, mineral imbalances, parasites and fungal overgrowth which can contribute to gut issues. If you haven't had the correct treatment or answers, it is important to work with a gut health professional to find out your root cause and have the correct treatment for you.  

I'm a gut health naturopath who loves working with patients to find out why they are suffering from these conditions and many more that are linked in with gut dysbiosis. 

Have you heard of SIBO — or suspected it might be the root of your bloating, fatigue, or food reactions? This month on the blog, I’m revisiting SIBO to share what’s changed in 2025, what not to do (like Dr Googling everything!), and how a naturopathic, phased approach works best.

If you’ve felt stuck or overwhelmed by SIBO symptoms, don’t miss this blog — and scroll to the end for your invite to my FREE “What is SIBO?” Masterclass happening soon!

Have you been feeling chronically tired, anxious, foggy-headed, or hormonally out of balance — even though your tests come back "normal"?
This blog explores the hidden world of viral overload, focusing on Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and other lingering viruses like Herpes Simplex (HSV-1 and HSV-2), Ross River Virus, and Varicella-Zoster (chickenpox and shingles).

Many women are unknowingly carrying a low-grade viral burden that may be disrupting:

• Thyroid function (especially Hashimoto’s and hypothyroid)

• Hormonal balance in perimenopause

• Nervous system and mental wellbeing (anxiety, fatigue, insomnia)

• Immune resilience and inflammation

• Reproductive health and fertility

These viruses can go dormant and reactivate during stress, hormonal shifts, or burnout, creating a ripple effect across the whole body.

As a naturopath, I work with women to support their immune system, calm inflammation, and bring their bodies back into balance — naturally and holistically.

Understanding Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis, Hives & Perioral Dermatitis from the Inside Out

Your skin is more than surface deep — it’s a reflection of your gut health, hormones, histamine balance, and even your emotional wellbeing. In this blog, I explore the hidden root causes of common skin issues in women, men, teens, and children, including the different types of acne, the role of stress and hormones, and how naturopathy and my signature Body Balance Treatments can bring lasting relief. If you're ready to stop managing symptoms and start healing from within, this is for you.

Body Balance Treatments

Body Balance Treatments are gentle sessions designed to support your nervous system and help your body move out of stress and into a state of calm and balance.

These treatments are particularly helpful if you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, disconnected from your body, or stuck in a constant “on” state. By supporting nervous system regulation, Body Balance Treatments can help you feel more settled, grounded, and re-energised.

Sessions draw on a combination of energy-based and body-aware techniques, tailored to what your body needs on the day. Many people describe feeling deeply relaxed, clearer, and more at ease after a session.

But let’s be real—weight loss remains a deeply emotional and often triggering topic, especially when medication is involved. I've read countless comments on social media that are harsh, judgmental, and full of shame. It’s heartbreaking. Every woman deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported—no matter how she chooses to take care of her body.

While most people associate gut health with digestion, the microbiome’s effects go far beyond the digestive system. One of the most critical but often overlooked connections is how gut health impacts cardiovascular health and the critical role oral health plays in this gut-heart connection. The mouth is the gateway to the digestive system, and the bacteria that thrive there can directly impact not only your gut microbiome but also your cardiovascular system.

Have you heard of or experienced the very common hypothalamic amenorrhea, which is a lack of periods due to undereating or undereating carbs. You may have been mistakenly told you have “lean PCOS” when you actually have hypothalamic amenorrhea.

For many women, a regular menstrual cycle is a key indicator of overall health. However, when periods stop unexpectedly—especially in cases of anorexia or disordered eating—it’s a sign that the body is under significant stress. Amenorrhea is a common consequence of restricted eating, nutrient deficiencies, and emotional imbalance. As a naturopath and energy healer, I take a holistic approach in supporting the body to regain balance naturally.
