💛 The Love Your Skin Program: healing eczema from the inside out

14/10/2025

My eczema was in remission. But as I was pregnant with Vili… I couldn’t help but wonder…⁣

Will my eczema come back with a vengeance? ⁣

Then…. that itch started to come back.⁣
Suddenly, my brain went⁣
“Is this the moment it all unravels?”⁣

… Eczema warriors, you know that thought process!⁣

Here’s what I’ve learned:⁣
Pregnancy is a marathon. ⁣
Not just for your baby, but for your immune system, gut, skin, and hormones too.⁣

While everyone blames hormones for flares…⁣

👉🏼 It’s actually the immune system shifts + inflammation load that determine whether you flare (or not).⁣

So I asked:⁣
What can I do now to build resilience later?⁣

⁣Here’s what I focused on:⁣
- Gut support⁣
- Immune system balancing⁣
- Nervous system safety⁣
- Nutrient repletion ⁣

I also investigated my root causes and knew my triggers so I could understand my skin’s signals before they screamed.⁣

Because when a small flare did pop up in pregnancy?⁣
I didn’t spiral.⁣
I had the tools.⁣
I knew what my body was asking for.⁣

Are you pregnant? Trying to conceive? Or postpartum and flaring?⁣
Here are some resources to help support you 💛⁣

Why do some people’s eczema flare during pregnancy… While others completely clear?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Most people blame hormones.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
and yes… they play a part.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
BUT the real driver?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Your immune system is doing a complicated dance.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Pregnancy shifts you between ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
pro-inflammatory + anti-inflammatory states.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
It also suppresses immune function to protect your baby.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
That’s why eczema can either flare…⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Or calm completely → depending on your baseline load of inflammation.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
How & why?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
So let’s zoom out.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
What’s been filling your flare-up bucket?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
🔹 Refined sugar + processed foods⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
🔹 Gut overgrowths or dysbiosis⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
🔹 Nutrient depletion⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
🔹 Hormone imbalances⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
🔹 Unprocessed stress⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
🔹 Hidden infections or environmental load⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
If your body’s engine light is on 🚨⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Then the process of pregnancy can tip it over.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
But here’s the good news:⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Pregnancy isn’t the enemy.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
It’s a window of opportunity ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
(if you use the right tool at the right time)⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Gut & Skin Loving Chipotle Pulled Pork Wrap⁣
⁣
Whipped this up in 5 minutes with leftovers in … ⁣
⁣
Here’s what’s inside:⁣
⁣
🌿Slow cooked pulled pork⁣
A good dose of protein, essential for repairing skin and rebuilding the gut lining⁣
⁣
🌿High protein, high fibre wrap ⁣
Feeds your microbiome to support your gut and balances blood glucose (key for inflammation)⁣
⁣
🌿Bone broth mayo ⁣
Creamy collagen rich sauce that sneaks in gut healing amino acids (and tastes AMAZING).⁣

Spice for life!!! Plus antioxidants too ☺️⁣
⁣

Nutrient dense little powerhouses (Vit C A zinc) also enzymes to support digestion⁣
⁣
🌿Tomato⁣
Antioxidant (lycopene) and fiber⁣

Eczema isn’t just about rashes. Healing isn’t just about creams. That’s why we do things differently…⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
What actually happens inside the Love Your Skin Program?⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Over the past 6 years we’ve helped 1,000 eczema warriors.⁣⁣⁣⁣
Not with quick fixes.⁣⁣⁣⁣
Not with one size fits all protocols.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
But with a whole body, whole person healing method ⁣⁣⁣⁣
Now backed by an Australia government funded ⁣⁣⁣⁣
Research & Development project.⁣⁣⁣⁣
✨ Because it works.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Most eczema care focuses on managing the rash.⁣⁣⁣⁣
We focus on what’s causing it.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Here’s how we do it:⁣⁣⁣⁣
🔬 Symptom mapping, blood tests, and functional labs⁣⁣⁣⁣
🧠 Gut, hormone, and nervous system support⁣⁣⁣⁣
🧘 Breathwork, mindset, and rewiring the brain-skin connection⁣⁣⁣⁣
🤝 You’re paired with your own Naturopath + coach surrounded by a community that gets it⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Because eczema isn’t just a skin condition.⁣⁣⁣⁣
It’s your body waving a flag ⁣⁣⁣⁣
and once you learn how to read it?⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
You finally stop guessing… and start healing.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
This isn’t a passive program.⁣⁣⁣⁣
You show up. You’re coached. You’re guided.⁣⁣⁣⁣
But you’ll never do it alone.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣

“If I’d finished healing and gone right back to how I was living before… I don’t think my skin would have made it.”⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s been 3 years since Deana completed the LYS program.⁣⁣
In that time… she’s had just ONE postpartum flare 🙌🏽⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So how has she stayed in remission?⁣⁣
Not because she’s “cured.”⁣⁣
But because she continues to practice the 5 core pillars that got her here.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
These aren’t rules.⁣⁣
They’re foundations.⁣⁣
More than that… they make her feel good in her body.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The result?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
→ Over 15 months completely flare free⁣⁣
→ When tiny flares show up, they clear in 1–2 days (not months)⁣⁣
→ No panic. Just trust in her body and tools that work⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Because here’s the truth:⁣⁣
If the life that got you sick is the life you return to,⁣⁣
you’re likely to end up there again.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Healing isn’t just about clearing your skin.⁣⁣
It’s about building a life that allows your body to stay in balance.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Which of these 5 pillars is the hardest for you right now?⁣⁣

Every morning Deana looked at her skin covered in rashes from head to toe…. and thought: "Another day wasted."⁣⁣
⁣⁣
She was doing EVERYTHING specialists told her: ⁣⁣
→ Taking dozens of supplements ⁣⁣
→ Following restrictive diets ⁣⁣
→ Getting IV therapy ⁣⁣
→ Doing aggressive liver detoxes⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But her eczema kept spreading.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The hardest part? 💔⁣⁣
Deana wanted to start a family. ⁣⁣
But she could barely care for herself, let alone imagine being pregnant.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✨ Then came the shift that changed everything:⁣⁣
"Time is my FRIEND. Not my enemy." ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Deana stopped treating symptoms and started healing the mind and body as a whol…e⁣⁣
⁣⁣
→ Reversing years of gut dysbiosis ⁣⁣
→ Rebalancing hormones⁣⁣
→ Regulating chronic stress⁣⁣
→ Clearing mould & biofilms⁣⁣
→ Restoring the immune system⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And realised healing takes time⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Even when she couldn't see progress on her skin, ⁣⁣
her body WAS healing: ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
→ Her gut was repairing. ⁣⁣
→ Her nervous system was rewiring. ⁣⁣
→ Her immune system was balancing.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✨ THIS mental shift saved her healing journey.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Because when you're constantly stressed about the timeline, checking off "wasted" days, desperate for it to be over NOW….⁣⁣
⁣⁣
THAT stress = inflammation. ⁣⁣
That inflammation = more eczema⁣⁣
You're literally fighting against your own healing.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Now? ⁣⁣
Deana has …⁣⁣
→ only had 1 postpartum flare in 2 years.⁣⁣
→ a beautiful baby girl ⁣⁣
→ lives the life she thought was impossible.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But it didn't happen because she found ⁣⁣
a magic supplement or perfect diet. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It happened because she learned to work WITH her body⁣⁣
… not against it.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you’re counting days and feeling defeated…⁣⁣
THIS is your reminder:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Your body isn’t broken.⁣⁣
It just needs time to repair what’s been out of balance for years.⁣⁣

Deana was convinced she had a mystery illness. ⁣
⁣
She saw the specialists.⁣
Got the diagnosis ⁣
Did all the protocols.⁣
Took the supplements.⁣
⁣
Yet her rashes kept spreading, head to toe.⁣
⁣
What she got in return?⁣
→ Thousands spent on protocols that made her worse⁣
→ Restrictive diets that wrecked her energy⁣
→ IVs, detoxes, supplements.. with no lasting relief⁣
→ A quiet fear she’d never be well enough to become a mum⁣
⁣
The hardest part?⁣
⁣
Everyone had a different theory.⁣
“Just stress.”⁣
“Just Lyme.”⁣
“Just Candida.”⁣
⁣
But no one looked at the whole picture.⁣
No one mapped the sequence her body actually needed.⁣
⁣
Here’s what was really going on:⁣
✔️ Gut dysbiosis⁣
✔️ Mold + mycotoxins⁣
✔️ Hormone depletion⁣
✔️ Fungal overgrowth⁣
✔️ Allergies⁣
✔️ Immune dysregulation⁣
✔️ Nervous system overwhelm⁣
✔️ Chronic stress⁣
✔️ Lyme (as part of the picture, not the whole)⁣
⁣
It wasn’t one thing.⁣
It was ALL of it.⁣
⁣
Healing began when we stopped treating symptoms⁣
and started treating her Mind + Body as a whole interconnected system.⁣
⁣
Today Deana is… ⁣
✨ a proud Mumma to a beautiful baby girl⁣
✨ only had 1 postpartum flare in the last 2 years!⁣
✨ no longer at war with her skin⁣
⁣
If you’re flaring despite doing everything “right”⁣
… you’re not alone.⁣
⁣
You’re just missing the map.⁣

For YEARS, Deana was dismissed, misdiagnosed and told her eczema was “just stress” or “just Lyme’s disease.”⁣⁣
⁣⁣
She bounced from specialist to specialist…⁣⁣
→ Spent thousands on protocols that made her skin worse⁣⁣
→ Followed restrictive diets that drained her energy⁣⁣
→ Did IVs, detoxes, supplements (with no relief)⁣⁣
→ Wondered if she’d ever be well enough to be a Mom⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The toughest part?⁣⁣
She was doing everything “right”.⁣⁣. but her rashes were spread head to toe.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What no one told her?⁣⁣
She didn’t have one root cause.⁣⁣
She had nine. All interacting.⁣⁣
No one had connected the dots.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Until she finally found eczema-specific program⁣⁣
That looked at the whole Body + Mind picture:⁣⁣
The gut, immune, hormones, stress, mold, infections, ⁣⁣
allergies, and the nervous system.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
That’s when everything changed.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Today Deana is…⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✨ Flare free⁣⁣
✨ Happily a Momma of a baby girl!⁣⁣
✨ Doesn’t live fighting against her skin anymore.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you’ve ever felt like your symptoms don’t make sense…⁣⁣
Or like you’re doing everything “right” and still flaring…⁣⁣
⁣⁣
You’re not alone.⁣⁣
You’re just missing the map.⁣⁣

A Doctor says: “It’s just eczema.” ⁣⁣
A Lyme specialist says: “It’s just Lyme.”⁣⁣
A Candida expert says: “Definitely Candida.”⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And they all meant well.⁣⁣
But none of them looked at the whole picture.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Instead, Deana got:⁣⁣
➤ IV therapy⁣⁣
➤ Detoxes that made her throw up⁣⁣
➤ Restrictive diets that wrecked her energy⁣⁣
➤ And supplement protocols that didn’t touch her skin⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Here’s the tricky part:⁣⁣
They all sounded like root cause approaches.⁣⁣
But no one asked the deeper question…⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🧠 What state is your body in… when you're using these tools?⁣⁣
Because the right tool at the wrong time… ⁣⁣
is still the wrong tool.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What we discovered together changed everything:⁣⁣
… Her nervous system wasn’t ready.⁣⁣
… Her gut needed support.⁣⁣
… Her hormones were running on empty.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
She didn’t need another protocol.⁣⁣
She needed a healing sequence specific to her root causes..⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Now, 3 years later?⁣⁣
Deana is a proud Mumma to a beautiful baby girl 👶✨⁣⁣
She’s only had 1 postpartum flare in the last 2 years!⁣⁣

What if we stopped treating eczema like a surface level skin condition and started treating it like the full body message it really is?⁣
⁣
Most eczema care still looks like this:⁣
🩹 Suppress the rash⁣
💊 Medicate the symptoms⁣
🧴 Hope a new cream finally works⁣
⁣
But here's the truth I've seen working with 1,000 eczema warriors:⁣
⁣
Eczema isn’t just skin-deep.⁣
It’s your body’s engine light going on⁣
Saying there’s a deeper issue.⁣
⁣
That support doesn’t have to be extreme.⁣
It starts with the foundations:⁣
✨ Gut health⁣
✨ Nervous system regulation⁣
✨ Nutrient replenishment⁣
✨ Sleep, movement, and safety⁣
⁣
Not one-size-fits-all protocols.⁣
Not restrictive diets.⁣
Not overnight detoxes.⁣
⁣
A personalised treatment plan, ⁣
based on your symptoms and your body.⁣

A bit about me..

My journey into the world of Nutrition and Natural Medicine stemmed from a lifetime of suffering with eczema and gut issues. I used every steroid cream and natural cream under the sun with no long-term improvement. Then a trip overseas triggered the most horrendous gut issues, triggered more food intolerances and my eczema flared to the worse it’s been.

After seeing numerous doctors and dermatologists with no resolution, I felt frustrated and alone. I started investigating natural remedies and learnt first hand the connection between food, gut health and eczema.

This plus my passion for food and helping people led me to studying a Bachelor of Health Science in Nutritional and Dietetic Medicine. During this time I started Goodness on the Go ready made meals and started working with gyms.

Through personal and clinical experience I developed the Love Your Guts, Love Your Skin. This program helps people with digestive symptoms and eczema find relief so they can feel comfortable and confident in their skin.
