Find your midlife magic. Rediscover vitality and joy.
Your roadmap for a smooth menopause transition
Restore your rhythm. Revive your life.
Usually, sometime in your 40s, you start an empowering, yet challenging journey, perimenopause, with pesky symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood swings, weight gain, heavy bleeding and irregular periods. Symptoms can vary in duration, type and frequency, due to individual differences in biochemistry, genetics, diet, stress and lifestyle.
These changes can leave you feeling offbeat, impacting your wellbeing and daily life. You’re a busy woman juggling multiple roles and deserve to feel vibrant, balanced, and in sync with your body. For some women these symptoms can throw off your entire life’s rhythm and you don’t feel like yourself anymore.
The good news is that perimenopause and menopausal symptoms can be addressed to ensure a smoother transition and improve your comfort and quality of life.
Whether you’re feeling tired or anxious, having mood swings or gaining weight, you CAN feel better and I’ll show you how.

Mastering modern midlife & beyond
As the first generation to go through menopause in the context of busy, active lives, it’s even more important to nourish your adrenals, priortise work-life balance, self-care, and find practical ways to reduce stress.
Women today can expect to live over 40% of their lives after menopause. What better reason to take the best care of yourself and ensure your new chapter is a life you want to live.
Brain Changes in Menopause
Declining progesterone and estrogen levels have a major impact on the brain, affecting mood, sleep, stress resilience, cognition and memory.
The good news is that with the right approach and knowledge you can protect, support and rewire your brain for optimal functioning for mid-life and beyond. I offer therapies that support brain, cognition, mood and nervous system health.
Menopause is “a dynamic neurological transition that reshapes the neural landscape of the female brain during midlife endocrine aging, [with] an adaptive process serving the transition into late life.”
My menopause experience felt like a ski jump, an immediate, steep decline.
I was 46, totally unprepared, facing extreme personal stress, alongside certain genetic and hormonal factors which I now know set me up for the fall.
That was 10 years ago. Back then the understanding, support and treatment options were limited. As a naturopath I thought I knew all about this life stage, but I absolutely do now, and have made it my mission to share my hard earned knowledge and experience to support you, so you can thrive instead of struggling like me.
For a smooth transition, it’s essential to understand what’s changing and why, and learn the best ways to manage that best work for you. By understanding that your brain will recover in time, resetting itself, as it adjusts to its new hormonal “normal”, you will feel more in control.
I support women through the perimenopause years, the menopause transition, and offer preventative health and wellness support for the years beyond. There are many effective options available. It’s important to know you’re not alone.
I’d love to hear your story and help you navigate your menopausal journey. Reach out to see how I can help.
How I help
Knowledge is Power.
I love educating women about the changes they’re experiencing to support acceptance, self-compassion and personal transformation. This awareness can motivate you to prioritise self-care, and allow time and space for your brain and body to adapt and adjust to your changing hormone levels in a healthy way.

Every woman’s journey will be unique, personal to them, their body, lifestyle, genetics and emotional make-up. I take the time to get to know you, to help you navigate this new phase of life with confidence, understanding and ease.
Expertise.
I continue researching all aspects of menopause, complementary treatments, bio-identical hormones, plus advanced hormone testing and analysis. With this expertise plus experience in methylation, MTHFR, genetics, energy, liver, gut, brain and mental health, I tailor a comprehensive treatment plan specific for you, using the most effective options.
Empowerment.
Your hormones hold the key to great energy, mood & vitality for a healthy life. I teach you the best way to support your changing body with what to eat, drink, nutrients to consume and lifestyle choices effectively tailored for you.
An invigorating new life chapter. When we embrace the inevitable changes, menopause can be an incredible opportunity to re-evaluate relationships, your identity, goals, a time to reinvent yourself. I take the time to get to know you, and help you navigate this new phase of life with confidence, understanding and ease.
Mind-Body Therapies
Current research supports the use of mind-body therapies to reduce menopausal symptoms and adjust to your body and life changes.
I’ve helped women achieve personal transformations that have significantly changed their lives for the better.
Neurofeedback enhances brain function by training the brain to return to normal (better, calmer) functioning. In this state neurofeedback helps reduce mood-related menopause symptoms, depression, anxiety, insomnia, poor cognition, focus and memory. With all of the hormonal changes occurring in the body at menopause, the brain just needs a little extra help learning how to adjust, which neurofeedback can provide.
