The matrix we live in (society) programmes us into burnout … We are taught what we ‘need’ to do, to be ‘successful’ … We tick the boxes … We are obedient little humans, always doing what we think we ‘should’ … But many end up wondering, what’s it all for? I have had client upon client upon client say this...

You know what would change, if you actually deeply trusted the universe / god / life? Well, you would stop worrying. Because, if you actually trusted that you were being taken care of, you would just show up and do your bit, and leave the rest to the higher intelligence that governs us all. But, for some reason, we humans...

Things I wish every woman knew. Over the past five years as I’ve inadvertently ended up working only with women (I’ve seen only TWO men in my career – I didn’t do this on purpose either!), there are certain things that I find myself desperately wanting these women to deeply know and understand. Here’s a list of some of them!...

Modern women are struggling – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  In a world where we have more opportunities than ever before, modern women seem to be drowning under the weight of everything we have on our ‘life plates’ – landing us in a space of pain, hormonal disharmony, exhaustion, and disconnection.  So, why is it like this? I wrote a list...

(a love note to exhaustion) Dear Exhaustion, You are my greatest teacher. For most of my life, you were my constant companion, and I never knew why. I accepted you as ‘normal’. I thought that this feeling of utmost depletion and burnout was ‘just life’ … for all of us. I learnt that in order to function the way I...

There is a reason that hormonal imbalances, burnout, exhaustion and overwhelm run SO many women’s lives and health.  And, this reason is usually the very last thing to be addressed. Many of us want to think that if we take a million supplements, or eat enough organic food … we will heal. And magically become calm, balanced, energetic, and brimming with vitality. But the truth...

Adrenal fatigue, more correctly described as ‘HPA-axis dysfunction’,  is the most common scenario that I see as a Naturopath in a clinical setting.  Modern life offers us many perks, but one of the downfalls is that collectively, our health is suffering – and so often, this is simply from burning the candle at both ends, being too busy, and never slowing...

Why you need to love your liver. If you’re working on getting your hormones back to a healthy, happy, balanced state – chances are, you may need to give your amazing liver a little (or a lot!) of love. The liver truly is a powerhouse organ within the body. It is constantly keeping us alive by filtering out and eliminating...

Lately I’ve had an abundance of women, from all walks of my life, talk to me about coming off the oral contraceptive pill. As a naturopath, this please me VERY much, because I know how much life can change when you move away from synthetic hormones and allow your own, natural hormones to kick back in, and naturally balance. HOWEVER,...

Digestive difficulties are ALL too common for most people – but they shouldn’t be.  Our tendency is to immediately think, ‘food – I must be allergic / intolerant to something’. (More and more people are requesting food allergy testing from me for this reason). And, while this certainly can be the case, it’s definitely not the ‘only’ factor that needs...
