Have you heard of SIBO — or suspected it might be the root of your bloating, fatigue, or food reactions? This month on the blog, I’m revisiting SIBO to share what’s changed in 2025, what not to do (like Dr Googling everything!), and how a naturopathic, phased approach works best.

If you’ve felt stuck or overwhelmed by SIBO symptoms, don’t miss this blog — and scroll to the end for your invite to my FREE “What is SIBO?” Masterclass happening soon!

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.

Understanding Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis, Hives & Perioral Dermatitis from the Inside Out

Your skin is more than surface deep — it’s a reflection of your gut health, hormones, histamine balance, and even your emotional wellbeing. In this blog, I explore the hidden root causes of common skin issues in women, men, teens, and children, including the different types of acne, the role of stress and hormones, and how naturopathy and my signature Body Balance Treatments can bring lasting relief. If you're ready to stop managing symptoms and start healing from within, this is for you.

Body Balance Treatments

Body Balance Treatments are gentle sessions designed to support your nervous system and help your body move out of stress and into a state of calm and balance.

These treatments are particularly helpful if you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, disconnected from your body, or stuck in a constant “on” state. By supporting nervous system regulation, Body Balance Treatments can help you feel more settled, grounded, and re-energised.

Sessions draw on a combination of energy-based and body-aware techniques, tailored to what your body needs on the day. Many people describe feeling deeply relaxed, clearer, and more at ease after a session.

But let’s be real—weight loss remains a deeply emotional and often triggering topic, especially when medication is involved. I've read countless comments on social media that are harsh, judgmental, and full of shame. It’s heartbreaking. Every woman deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported—no matter how she chooses to take care of her body.

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.

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.

As the new school year approaches, parents and caregivers often find themselves navigating the excitement and challenges of preparing their child/children for success both in and out of the classroom.

Unlocking Metabolic Health

Metabolic health is the foundation of energy, hormone balance, and long-term wellbeing — and it’s more important now than ever. With rising rates of insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes, many people are searching for sustainable ways to restore their metabolism naturally. While weight loss medications such as GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) have become popular, they’re only one piece of a much bigger picture.
Through a holistic naturopathic approach — combining nutrition, mineral and microbiome testing, herbal medicine, and lifestyle strategies — it’s possible to support blood sugar balance, optimise energy, and reduce visceral fat naturally, creating lasting results that go beyond the scales.

The prolonged fatigue, mental fog, and overall sense of unwellness seen in individuals with Long COVID share a remarkable resemblance to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). Both conditions are characterised by persistent symptoms that defy conventional explanations and may linger for months, if not years. 

These symptoms are:- Persistent fatigue, exhaustion and lack of energy, brain fog and cognitive issues, immune system dysfunction, muscle aches and joint pain, gut health and microbiome imbalances, hormonal imbalances or hormone dysregulation.
