I help women in midlife ease menopause symptoms and reconnect with their sense of self.

As a naturopath and Ikigai Healing Guide, I blend natural medicine, Japanese wisdom, and gentle mind–body practices to support health, confidence, and renewal. I’m a trained Naturopath passionate about guiding women through life’s natural transitions—especially perimenopause and menopause. My approach blends naturopathy, Eastern medicine, NLP, Reiki, and mindfulness. Inspired by my Japanese roots and the philosophy of Ikigai, I help individuals reconnect with meaningful moments that bring joy and purpose to life. I welcome anyone seeking to restore balance, ease stress, support digestion, and embrace natural healing.

Menopause is not a problem to fix, it’s a transition that asks for different nourishment.

Traditional Japanese meals like this one naturally support midlife women through:
✔️ fermented foods for gut & hormone balance
✔️ plant-based proteins and minerals
✔️ gentle estrogenic support from fermented soy
✔️ heart health through low saturated fat
✔️ mindful portions (hara-hachibu)

This approach is not about copying a culture — it’s about learning from wisdom that honours rhythm, digestion, and satisfaction.

Midlife can feel grounded, nourishing, and deeply satisfying.

After sharing my recent kintsugi reflection, I realised how many women experience menopause as a kind of breaking, physical, emotional, or both.

Kintsugi teaches us that repair doesn’t rush the process or hide the cracks. It honours them.

I’ve created a free menopause guide as a gentle place to pause and reflect on this stage of life, without pressure to optimise or fix yourself.

You’re welcome to explore it here if it feels right for you:

Kintsugi, Menopause, and the Art of Repair

I recently completed a six-month kintsugi process on one of my favourite coffee cups.

Instead of gold, I chose raw urushi mixed with Bengal red pigment. The repair is visible. Uneven. Earthy. Honest. I loved the contrast with the green, and I loved that it didn’t try to be perfect.

This piece reflects a core concept in my work:

• Perimenopause — the first small chips
• Menopause — the major break
• Post-menopause — the act of repair and reintegration

Repair doesn’t mean returning to what we were.
It means choosing how we come back together.

I turned 50 this week.
I’m stepping fully into the Marga phase—a time of wisdom, contribution, and care-free living.

This cup reminds me that beauty doesn’t come from hiding the cracks—but from how we honour them.

If menopause feels like a breaking point, I want you to know: It can also be a beginning.

The body in midlife is not falling apart.
It is re-patterning itself.

Just like this tree, there is strength in the twisting,
wisdom in the way it changes shape to keep growing.

Menopause isn’t a failure of the body, it’s a transition into a different kind of strength

This cup of matcha felt like a little new moon.

A reminder that not everything needs to be bright and full to be meaningful.

Some phases are for resting, listening, and quietly preparing for what’s next.

Midlife and menopause feel a lot like this too, a new beginning that starts in the dark.

Mission Beach Market reflections 🌿

Yesterday was a quieter market day for me in terms of sales, but it was rich in something just as important: connection.

I met fellow stallholders and locals who were curious about naturopathy, diet, and holistic health. One even came back with a crystal as a thank-you after our chat. Another unexpected conversation turned into a deep discussion about psychology and the human experience.

Markets remind me why I love this work. They create space for genuine, pressure-free conversations. It’s not just about products or bookings. It’s about showing up, listening, sharing knowledge, and being part of the community.

Even on slower days, these moments matter 🤍

Grateful to be part of such a beautiful local market culture!

Melbourne gave me much more than just a change of scenery.

I had the privilege of attending the Aikido Summer School - 60th Anniversary, training for two powerful days with dedicated practitioners and teachers from many backgrounds. We worked deeply with techniques, weapons, and principles that go far beyond physical movement.

One of the master teachers shared something that truly shifted me:
Aikido is not about forcing someone in another direction, it’s about precision, timing, distance, gravity, and understanding the energy of your partner. When you move with what is already there, everything changes.

Last year I was focused on how it looked.
This year I felt the depth of what it is.

Aikido keeps teaching me something that shows up everywhere in life and business, showing up even when you don’t feel like it, meeting challenges with calm, and building resilience through consistent practice.

Between training sessions I also soaked in Melbourne’s beauty, the university grounds, parks, gardens, and botanicals so different from Far North Queensland. Small moments of joy, quiet reflection, and a deep sense of ikigai; purpose.

Grateful for the teachers, the people, the practice, and this evolving journey.

A happy new year!

How is everyone doing for the new start of the year?

I made matcha in a tea bowl I purchased from a local artist; imperfect, asymmetrical, and full of character. Very wabi-sabi, and something I’m deeply drawn to.

I also made these matcha slices using plant-based ingredients and seed cycling:
Phase 1 — flax & pumpkin seeds from the new moon until the full moon (which is tomorrow), then moving into
Phase 2 — sesame & sunflower seeds until the next new moon.

A simple, nourishing way to support hormone balance — especially after Christmas comfort foods — paired with the antioxidant goodness of green tea.

The artwork in the photo was made by my mother, a symbol of the Japanese New Year, which made this quiet ritual feel even more meaningful.

Pure Joy Naturopathy seeks for “Passion”

I am a qualified naturopath who has a special interest in women's health, weight management, metabolic disturbances, menopause and andropause. I teache chair yoga for improving mobility, flexibility, nervous system disorders and optimal ageing. I also enjoy treating clients with Ayurvedic Reiki massage to ease their anxiety and improve their sleep.

My naturopathic tool is to use Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis. BIA is a great tool that can monitor the cellular level of health, as well as body composition – fat mass, muscle mass and fluid status to encourage clients to reach their healthy body composition instead of just concentrating on numbers on the scale.

I am also passionate about educating clients to be aware of ubiquitous chemical exposure in our society. I continue educating myself to gain knowledge on the impact of harmful substances so that people can encourage themselves to make better choices for their health.

My treatment plan may include; lifestyle and nutritional advice, herbal medicine, energetic medicines and relaxation massage if needed. There are also referral options available to tailor a comprehensive treatment plan for each individual who needs additional support in a particular area.
