If your libido has changed and you’ve been told it’s “just stress”, “just hormones”, or “just part of getting older”, you’re not imagining things — and you’re not alone. Libido changes are often one of the body’s clearest signals that something deeper needs attention.

Libido is often discussed as a personality trait, a relationship issue, or something that naturally fades with age. In reality, libido reflects how supported, nourished, and regulated the body feels.

Whether libido is low, absent, fluctuating, or unusually high, these changes are not random. They are signals from the body that something deeper needs attention.

This is something I see regularly in clinic, across all life stages — not only during perimenopause or menopause.

Start 2026 with a clearer understanding of your energy, stress, hormones and digestion as you transition into the new year. Many women find themselves feeling tired, anxious, bloated or “off” after the holidays — not because they lack motivation, but because their bodies are running in either a fast-paced (stress-driven) or slow (rebuilding) metabolic pattern. In this blog, I break down the signs of each pattern, explain how they affect your nervous system and digestive health, and share how Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) can be used to personalise your approach to nourishment, rest and healing. Together, we explore a gentler, physiology-aligned way to improve energy, calm the nervous system and support your whole body — including women’s health, hormones, digestion and children’s wellbeing — so you can feel balanced and energised all year long.

December isn’t the month to push harder — it’s the month to finish softly 🌿
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

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.

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.

As the new school year approaches, parents and caregivers often find themselves navigating the excitement and challenges of preparing their child/children for success both in and out of the classroom. Prioritising your child’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being lays the foundation for a thriving school year. From nutrition and sleep to managing stress and supporting their gut health, there are simple yet effective naturopathic strategies that can help your children feel energised, focused, and ready to take on the year ahead.

The prolonged fatigue, mental fog, and overall sense of unwellness seen in individuals with Long COVID share a remarkable resemblance to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). Both conditions are characterised by persistent symptoms that defy conventional explanations and may linger for months, if not years. 

These symptoms are:- Persistent fatigue, exhaustion and lack of energy, brain fog and cognitive issues, immune system dysfunction, muscle aches and joint pain, gut health and microbiome imbalances, hormonal imbalances or hormone dysregulation.
