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.

How your microbiome affects both your gut and heart health and why oral health matters
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.

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.

“Anxiety: What’s Really Going On Beneath the Surface?”
Anxiety is a natural response to stress — but when it becomes chronic, overwhelming or begins to affect daily life, it's often a sign that your body and mind need deeper support.
In recent years, I’ve seen a significant rise in anxiety in women, men, and children — not just due to external uncertainty, but because of internal imbalances like nutritional deficiencies, mineral imbalances (such as copper/zinc), gut dysfunction, and nervous system overwhelm.
Through a combination of naturopathy, personalised nutrition, and my 2025 offering of Body Balance Treatments (which incorporate Muscle Testing, Reiki, Vibrational Medicine and energetic support), I help clients address both the physical and emotional root causes of anxiety — naturally and holistically.
Whether you're seeking clarity, calm, or a reset for your nervous system, I’m here to support your journey.
