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.

Your body doesn’t need perfection — it needs support

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.

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.

Unlocking Metabolic Health

Metabolic health is the foundation of energy, hormone balance, and long-term wellbeing — and it’s more important now than ever. With rising rates of insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes, many people are searching for sustainable ways to restore their metabolism naturally. While weight loss medications such as GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) have become popular, they’re only one piece of a much bigger picture.
Through a holistic naturopathic approach — combining nutrition, mineral and microbiome testing, herbal medicine, and lifestyle strategies — it’s possible to support blood sugar balance, optimise energy, and reduce visceral fat naturally, creating lasting results that go beyond the scales.
