Detoxification is the body's natural process of eliminating toxins and waste to keep you feeling your best. This is done by our lymphatic system (spleen, thymus and lymph nodes) along with our livers, lungs and kidneys. But sometimes, our bodies can use a little extra support to handle the challenges of modern living. It is important to seek the help and assistance of a naturopath as we have been trained through our degrees to support a healthy way of detoxing.

The not so known or spoken about health issues, such as, vaginal dryness, light bladder leakage and dry skin (all over our bodies), during the perimenopause transition into menopause is where I'm focusing on this month for my blog topic. 

There is a lot more discussion and openness around the topic of vaginal dryness and vaginal irritations along with vaginal atrophy and women are becoming more proactive in getting the right treatment solutions and are seeking the help of a qualified Naturopath and other health professionals, that work in the women's health field.

I'm re-introducing Reiki Healing Treatments for new and current clients from 1st March 2023. Reiki is one of the simplest and safest self-healing techniques you can receive as Reiki healing can relieve pain, reduce stress and anxiety and provide extraordinary relaxation. Who couldn't do with more of this in their lives? 

I've been a Reiki Practitioner for over 20 years and love working with clients to clear any blockages that maybe contributing to their health concerns. Reiki works beautifully to improve digestive health and hormonal imbalances.

I thought that January is the perfect time to celebrate our livers and show it some love as our livers really do work overtime especially during the holiday season and throughout the year.

There are many health conditions that are liver related that I treat on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Fatty liver disease, hormonal imbalances, weight gain, constipation, diarrhoea, tummy issues, insomnia, brain fog, itchy skin, acne, PCOS viral flare ups and cardiovascular health are some of the conditions that I work with in clinic.

Life is so busy and it can feel like a constant battle to find the energy to function when you are tired, stressed, overwhelmed or exhausted! I know it's so easy to grab a quick energy fix when you are feeling rundown, exhausted or burnt out. Most of these 'quick energy fixes' are full of sugar and are highly processed which isn't good for your digestive health, weight or your adrenals. It's important to eat a balanced whole food diet, whether you are a meat eater or a plant based diet.

Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that affects up to 1 in 10 girls and women in their reproductive years. PCOS is an endocrine disorder. There are four types of PCOS - Insulin Resistance, Post Pill PCOS, Inflammatory PCOS and Androgen PCOS. If you have symptoms of PCOS and it's not PCOS this can be due to Hypothalamic Amenorrhoea due to undereating.
