The Art & Science of Herbal Medicine 🌿

One of the strengths of herbal medicine is that it allows for a truly individualised approach to care.

In my clinic, I often create bespoke liquid herbal formulas tailored to the specific needs of the person in front of me — whether the focus is on hormonal balance, stress support, digestion, sleep, immune function, or overall vitality.

Herbal medicine isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” solution. Each herb has unique actions and therapeutic qualities — from modulating the nervous system and supporting adrenal resilience, to improving digestion, easing inflammation, and nourishing hormonal and metabolic health.

By combining herbs strategically, we can create a formula that:

• Supports your unique presentation
• Addresses underlying imbalances
• Works gently with your physiology

This is where herbal medicine truly shines — gentle, evidence-informed, and effective when personalised.

If you’re curious about how a tailored herbal prescription may support your health goals, you’re welcome to get in touch or book a consultation.

Herbal medicine is both traditional and modern — and remains one of the most versatile therapeutic tools we have in natural healthcare. 💚

Menstrual Migraines & Hormonal Dips

Ever notice that pounding headache that creeps in right before your period?
You’re not imagining it — menstrual migraines are real, and your hormones are behind the scenes pulling the strings.

In the days before your period, estrogen levels plummet, triggering changes in blood vessels and neurotransmitters (like serotonin) that can spark a migraine. These dips can also affect mood, energy, and sleep — making that time of the month even tougher.

💫 Here’s what can help:
🌿 Support your estrogen metabolism naturally with cruciferous veggies, flaxseed, and plenty of fibre.
🍳 Keep blood sugar balanced — skipping meals can worsen headaches.
💧 Prioritise magnesium, B2 (riboflavin), and omega-3s for brain and hormonal health.
🌼 Gentle herbal support — think chaste tree, withania, peony, or gingko — can help stabilise hormone fluctuations and calm the nervous system.
📊 For those who really want to understand their body, hormone and neurotransmitter testing can provide a detailed picture of how your cycle is tracking and where support is most needed.

✨ If menstrual migraines are becoming a regular visitor, it’s your body’s way of asking for a reset.
Let’s uncover what your hormones are really saying and build a plan to restore balance naturally.

Protein — The Missing Link for Energy, Mood & Hormones

Do you ever feel tired mid-afternoon, crave sugar, or feel like your meals just don’t fill you up?
Chances are, you’re not getting enough protein.

Protein is the unsung hero of women’s wellness — it supports:

✨ Stable energy and balanced blood sugar
✨ Healthy hormones and metabolism
✨ Muscle tone, tissue repair, and glowing skin
✨ A calmer mood and sharper focus

Most women need around 60–80g of protein daily, and starting the day right makes all the difference.

🍳 Think savoury breakfasts — eggs, sardines on sourdough, or savoury mince with veggies.
🥣 Or keep it simple: add a scoop of Clinical Collagen into your organic oats or smoothie for an easy protein boost that also supports gut lining, skin elasticity, and joint repair.

👉 Try it for a week — add protein to every meal — and notice your energy, cravings, and focus transform.

🌙 The Synergy of Calm: L-Theanine + Magnesium

Invoking the same clarity that meditation brings, the combination of L-theanine and magnesium offers the mind deep contentment — the kind that makes restorative sleep possible.

🧠 Together, they help:
✨ Reduce sleep latency (how long it takes to fall asleep)
✨ Improve sleep duration and depth
✨ Calm an overactive mind and soothe the nervous system

How it works:
L-theanine and magnesium both positively influence GABA, our main calming neurotransmitter. L-theanine increases GABA receptor activity while magnesium supports GABA production — creating a “GABA wave” of tranquility that gently settles the body and mind.

This combination also:
💫 Lowers excess glutamate (the excitatory “wired but tired” chemical)
💫 Increases dopamine and glycine for emotional ease
💫 Supports melatonin and serotonin — essential for healthy sleep architecture

Studies show that this therapeutic pairing is even more effective than L-theanine alone in improving sleep quality, duration, and antioxidant protection against neuroinflammation.

🕯️ A simple yet powerful ritual for anyone seeking peace, clarity, and true rest.

🌿 Sea Buckthorn: Nature’s Nourishment for Menopausal Wellness 💛

Vaginal dryness, irritation, and discomfort affect almost half of all women in menopause — and it can truly impact confidence, intimacy, and quality of life.

That’s where Sea Buckthorn (Hippophaë rhamnoides) steps in 💫

This vibrant orange berry is rich in omega-7, a rare fatty acid that helps nourish and repair delicate mucosal membranes — including vaginal tissue and skin. Studies show that taking Sea Buckthorn oil for just 4–12 weeks can:
✨ Reduce vaginal and skin dryness and itchiness
✨ Improve elasticity and hydration
✨ Support healthy lipid balance and reduce inflammation
✨ Promote collagen synthesis through the Sirtuin 1 anti-ageing pathway

Plus, it’s packed with powerful antioxidants like carotenoids and tocopherols to protect skin and mucosal cells, while its flavonoids and beta-sitosterols support heart health ❤️

In short — Sea Buckthorn is a menopause multitasker: supporting vaginal comfort, glowing skin, and metabolic health… from the inside out.

Pair it with your favourite collagen and hydration ritual for a complete beauty-and-wellness boost 🌸

🌿 Happy Weekend!🌿

Weekends are the perfect time to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and check in with how you’re really feeling 💚

So often, we push through the week on autopilot — juggling work, family, meals, and everything in between — and forget to ask ourselves the simplest question:
✨ What do I need ?

This weekend, I invite you to pause and do something just for you.
💧 Drink more water than coffee
🌸 Go for a gentle walk in nature
🥗 Cook something nourishing and colourful
😴 Prioritise rest — without guilt
🧘‍♀️ Or simply do nothing at all (your nervous system will thank you!)

Good health isn’t about perfection — it’s about small, consistent choices that support your body and mind, especially when life feels full.

So tell me… what’s one thing you’re doing for your health this weekend? 🌿👇
I’d love to hear from you!

Your body doesn’t make mistakes — it adapts.
When life feels like too much, your body leans on cortisol, your built-in stress hormone, to keep you going.

But over time, that constant “on” mode starts to backfire:
💧 Blood sugar and energy levels fluctuate
🔥 Inflammation rises
💤 Sleep quality drops
💫 Hormones (especially progesterone and thyroid) take a hit

You might notice:
• Afternoon energy crashes
• Feeling anxious or flat
• Waking at 3am
• Craving caffeine or carbs to push through

✨ Small daily shifts to lower cortisol naturally:
1️⃣ Eat real food regularly — skipping meals = more stress
2️⃣ Step outside in morning light to reset your rhythm
3️⃣ Swap HIIT for walks or yoga when feeling burnt out
4️⃣ Breathe before you react — 4 slow breaths changes chemistry
5️⃣ Create “off” moments — a cup of tea in silence counts ☕️

Your nervous system holds the key to your hormones.
Support it — and your whole body starts to feel safer, calmer, lighter. 🌸

💛 Want to understand your stress hormones in depth?
Book a Functional Cortisol & Adrenal Assessment with me to see where your body’s really at.

An anti-oxidant rich, nutrient-dense meal to support a healthy immune system.
The immune system relies on many nutrients to do its job. This recipe includes a wide variety of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to support the immune system.

Key nutrients for immune support include vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and selenium.

Cauliflower Kale Soup Recipe

12 Garlic (cloves, peeled and trimmed)
1 Yellow Onion (large, roughly chopped)
1 head Cauliflower (sliced into florets)
44 millilitres extra Virgin Olive Oil (divided)
4 grams Italian Seasoning
6 grams Sea Salt
168 grams Kale Leaves (packed)
891 millilitres Vegetable Broth (divided)

1. Preheat oven to 200ºC and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Arrange the garlic cloves, onion and cauliflower on the baking sheet. Drizzle with half of the olive oil, Italian seasoning and salt. Using your hand or a spatula, toss until vegetables are evenly coated in the spices. Roast for about 40 minutes or until very tender and caramelized, flipping halfway through.
3. When vegetables are just about done, heat remaining olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the kale and 1/2 of the vegetable broth to the pot and cover. Let steam for 2 minutes, or until kale is wilted and tender.
4. Add the roasted vegetables and remaining vegetable stock in with the wilted kale. Bring soup to a gentle boil then remove from heat.
5. Puree soup in batches in a high-speed blender until smooth and creamy.
6. Divide into bowls and enjoy!
