Signs that stress is hiding in your body
Stress is an inevitable part of life, but what happens when it quietly takes over your body without your awareness? Many of us are so accustomed to being “busy” and “switched on” all the time that we overlook the subtle signs our bodies give us when stress becomes too much. Left unaddressed, this hidden stress can lead to physical discomfort, emotional imbalance, hormonal imbalances and long-term health challenges. -
My Body Balance Treatments and how this can support your healing journey
In our fast-paced lives, we often push emotions aside, storing them deep within our bodies. Over time, this emotional baggage can manifest as physical symptoms like fatigue, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and even chronic pain.

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) - Balancing Body Chemistry
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is an analytical test that measure the mineral composition of hair. It is regarded by many doctors, naturopaths and nutritionists as one of the most valuable screening tools available in everyday and preventative health care. I use this test regularly with my clients both in clinic and online as HTMA gives a personalized interpretive test report that assesses your current mineral status, highlights areas of concern and recommends dietary changes based on your results. -
Why test your Gut Microbiome? Unlocking the secrets of your gut health
Did you know that your gut microbiome plays a crucial role in your overall health and well-being? That's right! Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria that impact everything from digestion and nutrient absorption to immune function and mood regulation.

What are FODMAPs and can following a low FODMAP diet help reduce IBS and/or SIBO symptoms?
A popular diet that I prescribed in clinic for my IBS clients is the low FODMAP diet. FODMAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols, which are short-chain carbohydrates (sugars) that the small intestine absorbs poorly.
This diet has been designed to help people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and/or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) figure out which foods are problematic and which foods reduce symptoms. Low FODMAP foods also help relieve symptoms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
I’m curious to know ‘Have you tried the Low FODMAP Diet to help relieve your digestive issues?’
