We’ve all walked different paths, and mine has always been grounded in nature.  First as a farmer and horticulturalist, and secondly as a natural health practitioner.

My passion for natural health sparked in the '80s, along with a deep belief in the body’s innate ability to heal when it’s truly supported.

I was in my early 40s, juggling running a farm and raising a family, when perimenopause just sort of snuck up on me. It was at a time when everyone else’s needs came first, and any thoughts of self-care was almost non-existent. 

The changes crept in, irregular periods, hot flushes, and broken sleep, but it was the emotional upheaval that really shook me. The mood swings, the brain fog, feeling like I was losing myself… and the problem was no one was talking about it, nobody told us about this change.

Everything shifted when I met a practitioner who helped me connect the dots between stress, nutrition, and hormones. I realised chronic stress from years of looking after everyone else wasn’t just exhausting, it was amplifying my symptoms. Real change came when I supported both my body and mind.

Nutrition and hormonal support brought balance, but counselling helped me finally unpack and make sense of the emotional load I’d carried for years.

That journey transformed me and is the reason I do this work today, supporting, informing, and empowering women like you through your transition.

You’re not alone, every symptom, every feeling is valid, and together, we can make this a turning point towards a happy, healthy and fulfilling future.
