Women's Circle: Spring New Moon Renewal Wellness Bowls
At our Spring New Moon Renewal Women’s Circle, we shared more than just energy and connection — we also nourished our bodies with vibrant, gut-friendly foods designed to support hormonal balance and inner vitality.
🌿 Nourish Bowl Salad
This colourful bowl was built on a foundation of seasonal greens and crisp vegetables, layered with plant-based protein and healthy fats. The combination of textures and flavours made it both grounding and uplifting — exactly the energy we wanted to bring into spring. Light, fresh, and deeply satisfying, it’s a perfect meal for balancing blood sugar, supporting digestion, and keeping energy steady throughout the day.🥗 White Bean Salad
This wholesome salad combined creamy white beans with fresh herbs, seasonal vegetables, and a light dressing to support digestion and provide long-lasting energy. Packed with plant-based protein, fibre, and minerals, it offered a grounding, satisfying element to the menu — a beautiful reminder of how simple, nourishing foods can deeply support both gut and hormonal health.🌸 Chia Pudding Dessert
To finish, we enjoyed a creamy chia pudding infused with subtle sweetness and topped with seasonal fruit. Chia seeds are rich in fibre, omega-3s, and minerals, making this dessert as nourishing as it is delicious. It was the perfect way to end the evening — a treat that supports gut health and hormone harmony, while still feeling like a little indulgence.These recipes weren’t just food — they were part of the healing and renewal we created together. Eating in alignment with the season helps us feel more balanced, connected, and supported in our body’s natural rhythms.

Roasted Butternut Pumpkin and Leek Salad
Roasted butternut pumpkin and leek salad is a nutrient-rich dish that offers a host of health benefits. Butternut pumpkin is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, which support immune function and promote healthy skin. It is also rich in dietary fibre, aiding digestion and maintaining gut health. Leeks contribute antioxidants, including flavonoids, which may help reduce inflammation and protect against chronic diseases. They also provide vitamin K for bone health and manganese for energy metabolism. When roasted, the natural sweetness of these vegetables enhances their flavour, making the salad both delicious and nutritious. Adding olive oil or a light dressing can introduce healthy fats, improving the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins while making the dish even more satisfying. -
Tamari Chicken Crispy Rice Salad
Crispy rice salad is becoming a popular dinner time meal now that the weather is warming up. This is a light Asian style salad and I've made it SIBO Biphasic Diet friendly. You can swap the Tamari Sauce over to Teriyaki Sauce for another flavour but this won't be SIBO friendly but still delicious.
This salad promotes hormone balance, reduces inflammation, and supports gut health—all integral aspects of wellness in naturopathy. Whether you’re managing SIBO, aiming for hormone balance, or simply prioritising anti-inflammatory foods, this recipe aligns with naturopathic principles for optimal health.
