As a dedicated Women's Health & Digestive Health Naturopath, I specialise in helping businesswomen who are experiencing the ups and downs of perimenopause and menopause.

Whether you are experiencing digestive issues, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) or hormonal imbalances, I take a holistic approach. I provide personalised care to empower women to achieve optimal health and well-being.

Are you are experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, brain fog, poor concentration or sleep issues? Are you seeking holistic pathways towards your mental health. In a lot of cases, heavy metals were one of the underlying causes of my clients mood and digestive disorders.

Heavy metals enter our body through the gastrointestinal tract, skin, or via inhalation. Toxic metals have proven to be a major threat to human health, mostly because of their ability to cause membrane and DNA damage, and to disrupt protein function and enzyme activity. 

The lymphatic system plays a vital role in maintaining the body's internal balance, defending against infections, and supporting overall health and well-being. Proper functioning of the lymphatic system is essential for optimal immune function, detoxification, and overall vitality.

Dry skin brushing is a simple and effective technique that can support lymphatic drainage and overall detoxification. 

For most of us 2023 has been a year of surviving and not thriving as we have come out of our COVID years with a lot of uncertainty, fear and caution. What used to serve us in the past no longer cuts it for us now.

Most of us have embraced our rediscovered freedom and have travelled again, enjoyed celebrating with our friends and family at restaurants and live concerts. Some of us have already begun rebooting our health journey and searching for more in the natural health space to satisfy their curiosity.

This is quiet natural for women who are in their Autumn years, our perimenopausal years. Some fear this time of our lives and some are really embracing this transition into menopause - our Winter years and then post menopause - our second Spring.

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.
