Yes, that’s right! We often get caught up in the idea that our own genes are the be-all, end-all when it comes to our health. But, actually the trillion microscopic organisms living on us and inside us play a major role. These little guys make up our micro biome. Altogether, our microbiome contains “about 300 times the number of genes that our own genomes express”.

Plus, our environment, diet and lifestyle influence the way our genes play out and create our health circumstances.

Our community of microscopic organisms requires a variety of plant fibres to thrive. Eating various whole foods like fruit, vegetables, herbs, salad are essential. Aim for at least 20 different plant foods each week.

Tip 1: Start gradually and build up over time. Sudden diet changes can lead to bloating and digestive discomfort, whereas gradual change allows your microbiome to develop and adapt. Plus, gradual change tends to be more sustainable and therefore supports our long-term health goals.

Tip 2: For many women with endometriosis, sensitivities can mean that diet change can feel daunting. I hear you! I’ve been there too. If digestive issues are causing you discomfort, it may be time to seek support to uncover the underlying issues. While working through underlying issues such as parasites, Candida or mould exposure, sometimes we need to simplify our diet for a period of time to remove irritating foods. Then, once the underlying issue is addressed, we’re in the position to expand our diet again and focus on whole food variety.

If you’d like to chat more or book a mentoring session, you’re welcome to send me a DM.

Is bacterial infection driving your endometriosis?

Recent research is delving further into the idea that certain bacteria may contribute to the development of endometriosis.

One bacteria that is gaining much attention is Fusobacterium.

Fusobacterium was found in 64.3% of patients with endometriosis, compared to only 7.1% of others without endometriosis.

Fusobacterium infection in endometrial cells has been shown to activate something called ‘transforming growth factor-beta signalling’, which is already understood to play a huge role in endometriosis.

A domino effect may then allow cells the ability to migrate, proliferate and adhere.

As our knowledge of the microbiome continues to grow, so will our potential for healing.

Let’s connect in the tranquil bushy setting of Allambee Sanctuary in Capalaba! Are you in need of some relaxation, rejuvenation or support with your health?

I would love to offer you a reiki session focussing on healing and re-balancing.

Since completing my Level 3A reiki training, I’ve been enjoying offering this modality to others and have seen it’s power to promote relaxation and self-connection.

My next available time slots are currently:
🌳Tuesday 20th August
🌳Thursday 5th September

Or, message me to chat about other dates.

Endometriosis can lead you down many rabbit holes. Dealing with symptoms and moving along the healing journey can sometimes take up many of your waking hours. But, you are more than endometriosis. Remember who you were, who you are and who you will be again.

I’m very excited to announce my next three live online events! 😊

I offer these because very little support was available to me when I was diagnosed with endometriosis many years ago.

Yet, there are so many research-supported tools and strategies, that can help to make life better, one small step at a time.

Since it’s Endometriosis Awareness Month let’s connect! Check out the links below to find out more about the Masterclasses/ workshops that I’m offering. Booking is via Eventbrite.

🌸Candida and Hormones Masterclass (19th March, 10:30am AEST)
https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/858632622287?aff=oddtdtcreator

🌸 Overcoming Hormonal Havoc: The Bathroom Edition (27th March, 11:00am AEST)
https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/861851540157?aff=oddtdtcreator

🌸 The Power of Journalling to Find Relief (18th April, 9:30am AEST)
https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/861899292987?aff=oddtdtcreator

These sessions are suitable for those with endometriosis, hormonal imbalances, difficult periods, or simply if you’re interested in the topic. Come along to connect in a supportive space.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message. Hope to see you at one or all of the sessions!

Keep your mind open to the possibilities.

Just because you don’t know the answer yet, doesn’t mean the answer doesn’t exist.

Right??? The supermarket shelves make me cringe.

Who’s ready to ditch some of the hormonal imbalances, menstrual pain, endometriosis symptoms, fatigue and anxiety? Life wasn’t meant to be suffered. With purposeful action, we can move from surviving to thriving!

To help you on your journey, this month I’m offering two live events. They’re free and online.

1. ‘Overcoming Hormonal Havoc’ Masterclass - The Bathroom Edition
2. How I Overcame Chronic Fatigue with Endometriosis

After significantly reducing my own pain, fatigue and countless other symptoms without medication or surgery, I want to share my story, insight, knowledge and skills with others. I’m a registered Nutritional Consultant with training in Nutrition for Endometriosis and Gut Health. Plus, I am a holistic health mentor with training in energy medicine.

First this month, in the ‘Overcoming Hormonal Havoc’ Masterclass we’ll dive into bathroom products, toiletries, toothpaste, perfumes, deodorant, body wash and even your water! By the end you’ll have some action steps to ditch the xenoestrogens that are causing you hormonal havoc. One step at a time, you can move towards more balanced hormones and less pain!

Date: Thursday 12th October, 10:30am (Australian Eastern Standard Time)
RSVP: Send me a DM with ‘Hormonal Havoc’ by Wednesday 11th October to receive the zoom link.

Second this month, I’ll be sharing my story of ‘How I Overcame Chronic Fatigue with Endometriosis’, in the hope that I can help other women to reclaim their energy and vitality. It took me a lot of searching and study to find my answers. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if my efforts could help you too?

Date: Tuesday 24th October, 7:30pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time)
Note - This is the revised date.
RSVP: Send me a DM with ‘Chronic Fatigue’ by Monday 23rd October to receive the zoom link.

Hope you can join me at one of these upcoming events. Can’t wait to see you thrive!
