Understanding Histamine: Impact on your immune system, skin, gut health and why it flares up more during perimenopause
Histamine is a chemical substance that is both a neurotransmitter and a hormone. It is a mediator of wakefulness, alertness, reaction times, sleep cycles, memory, stress, sexual function and digestion. Histamine is a natural compound that plays a significant role in our immune system, skin health, and gut functions. It is produced by Mast Cells and are involved in nerve transmissions and immune response 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?’

Does your liver need some love?
I thought that January is the perfect time to celebrate our livers and show it some love as our livers really do work overtime especially during the holiday season and throughout the year.
There are many health conditions that are liver related that I treat on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Fatty liver disease, hormonal imbalances, weight gain, constipation, diarrhoea, tummy issues, insomnia, brain fog, itchy skin, acne, PCOS viral flare ups and cardiovascular health are some of the conditions that I work with in clinic.

Are you travelling over the holidays?
As you know, we haven’t been able to travel much over the past few years, especially internationally and this time last year our boarders were still closed! Now we’re able to travel again it can be quiet stressful organizing flights, accommodation and for some people, catching up with family over Christmas is an added stress. -
What is Constipation and how does it affect your hormones?

What is Hashimoto's Disease?
Hashimoto’s Disease isn’t a problem of your thyroid like hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism or thyroiditis. It’s actually a problem of the immune system and is an autoimmune disease. This is where your immune system is attacking your thyroid, causing it to under produce its hormones and slowing down all of your metabolic processes. Hashimoto's Disease affects mostly women and is a very common autoimmune disease and has symptoms very similar to those experienced in perimenopause. -
The heath benefits of Raw Cocao vs Cocoa
Raw cacao is somewhat different from the common “Cocoa” most of us grew up eating and drinking. Cacao (pronounced “cu-COW”) refers to the Theobroma Cacao tree from which Cocoa is derived, and is used when referring to unprocessed versions of the cacao bean. -
What is Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)?
Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that affects up to 1 in 10 girls and women in their reproductive years. PCOS is an endocrine disorder. There are four types of PCOS - Insulin Resistance, Post Pill PCOS, Inflammatory PCOS and Androgen PCOS. If you have symptoms of PCOS and it's not PCOS this can be due to Hypothalamic Amenorrhoea due to undereating.

“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.

What's causing my bloated belly?
There are many reasons as to why we suffer from bloating. Digestive dysfunction (dyspepsia or indigestion) is one of the main reasons as to why this is occurring.
For some people, this is an all-day problem that starts the moment they wake up (with a nice flat tummy) and gradually gets worse throughout the day and for others, it comes and goes. What could be causing this? Maybe it's related to a food trigger, maybe low stomach acid or low amounts of digestive enzymes are to blame. But there is definitely an imbalance of good gut bacteria within your digestive tract!
