Starting the New Year: Is Your Body Running Fast or Slow?
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.

Diabetes Type 1, Type 2 & Gestational: How Naturopathy can support you naturally and holistically
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.

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.

Is Viral Overload at the Root of Your Symptoms? Understanding EBV and Its Impact on the Body
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.

Amenorrhea (no periods) and Anorexia (disordered eating) - Hypothalamic Amenorrhea: A holistic approach to restoring balance
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.

Stress is an inevitable part of life, but what happens when it quietly takes over your body without your awareness?
