Let’s get honest:

Are your habits right now supporting the woman you’re becoming, or keeping you stuck where you’ve been?

Midlife is a time of powerful transformation. But your habits have to match the version of you that you’re stepping into.

This season of life is calling you to pause, reflect, and choose differently - on your terms.

If you’re tired of doing it alone and ready for a personalised, sustainable approach to feeling like yourself again, I’m here to support you.

DM me to learn more about how we can work together - through Metabolic Balance or the Midlife Slimdown Method, to rebuild your energy, reset your metabolism, and rediscover your confidence.

Let’s take the guesswork out of midlife health - together.

In the busyness of daily life, are you mindful of how you feel with....

* Energy ?
* do you move easily from bending to standing ?
* breathing ?
* do you react or respond to challenges ?

So often, we move through the day mindlessly unaware of our thoughts and how we can do and feel differently about each moment.

Become mindful, and then you will understand what you need more of.

Ask: What do I need right now?

Is it support to have more energy, or more rest or fun ?

Whatever it is, honour it and follow through with what you need.

And if it's nutritional advice, support with natural medicine and someone to see you and hear you, then I'd love to be your support person to help you with what you need.

Our beautiful old girl, Bella was a loyal loving fur best friend, also a motivator and of fitness trainer who demanded a daily walk- which I loved doing with her.

Going for a walk for me is about more than counting steps, burning calories, speed, or working up a sweat.

A gentle walk outdoors clears my mind, helps regulate my nervous system, and reminds me that the simple things - fresh air, connection with nature, and consistency matter most.

As we move through midlife, daily movement becomes less about intensity and more about sustainability.

It supports:

✔️ Blood sugar regulation
✔️ Hormone balance
✔️ Stress relief
✔️ Mental clarity and emotional calm
✔️ Joint mobility and sleep quality

I often think of movement as medicine - free, accessible, and supportive for our whole-body health.

And sometimes, we just need a little nudge (or demanding bark) to get out the door and take that first step.

🌿 What helps you stay consistent with movement? I’d love to hear what keeps you going.

What if the symptoms you’re experiencing are not the beginning of the end… but the start of your next chapter?

Midlife is not a crisis. It’s a catalyst.

What are you ready to reclaim?

If you’ve been dragging yourself through the day, wired at night, struggling with weight that won’t budge and wondering where your energy has gone…

It’s not a lack of willpower.
It’s your metabolism responding to the shifts of midlife.

Oestrogen decline, insulin resistance, adrenal fatigue, poor sleep, these are all common in this stage of life. But they’re not inevitable.

Spring is a beautiful reminder that your body is ready for renewal too.

And that starts by understanding what your metabolism needs right now.

Through the Metabolic Balance program, I help women in midlife:

✔️ Rebuild metabolic flexibility
✔️ Understand their blood sugar and hormone patterns
✔️ Restore energy and clarity
✔️ Shift weight naturally - without extremes
✔️ And feel in control of their health again

It’s not about cutting carbs, skipping meals, or pushing harder.

It’s about working with your body, not against it.

If you're ready to feel like you again this Spring, I’d love to guide you.

It’s that time of year when lighter layers come out, social calendars pick up, and you start thinking…

“I’d love to feel a little more confident in my clothes.”

But it’s not just about weight.
It’s about energy.
It’s about feeling clear-headed, calm, and comfortable in your skin.

The Midlife Slimdown Method is not a quick-fix diet.

It’s a science-backed, wholefood program tailored for midlife women who want to:

– Reduce inflammation and reset their metabolism
– Restore energy and clarity without relying on sugar or caffeine
– Eat in a way that feels satisfying and sustainable
– Feel strong, supported, and in tune with their body again

You’ll receive personalised food lists, expert coaching, and a supportive community of like-minded women to walk alongside you.

If you’re ready to feel strong, energised and confident heading into the warmer months, I’d love to help you get there.

I often get asked;

“Are my symptoms all connected, or is it just that I’m getting older?”

✨ Hot flushes.
✨ Stubborn weight.
✨ Poor sleep.
✨ Mood swings.
✨ That wired-but-tired feeling.

These aren’t random.

They’re connected, and they’re the result of something I call a metabolic transition.

So what does that mean?

In perimenopause and menopause, your hormones shift dramatically, and that impacts your metabolism, the way your body creates, stores, and uses energy.

When oestrogen declines, you become more prone to:

➡️ Insulin resistance, making weight gain easier

➡️ Adrenal strain, impacting energy and mood

➡️ Blood sugar instability, leading to cravings and fatigue

➡️ Sleep disruption, which further affects hormonal balance

All of this creates a cascade of symptoms, but the good news is, we can address the root causes through nutrition, naturopathic support, and lifestyle changes.

It’s not just “ageing.”
It’s your body asking for a new strategy, one that matches this new stage of life.

If you’re feeling stuck or dismissed, I’m here to help.
I work with midlife women to personalise their nutrition, support their hormones, and restore their vitality.

✨ DM me for a chat today to see how I can support you through this stage of life.

Let’s redefine thriving.

It’s not about pushing harder, hustling more, or chasing perfection.

Thriving is about alignment.

• With your body’s needs
• With your life stage
• With what actually matters to you now

Are your current habits serving that vision?

One of the biggest misunderstandings I see is that midlife weight gain is just about eating less or exercising more.⁣

But the real issue often lies beneath the surface, in your metabolism.

In perimenopause and menopause, your body's relationship with insulin changes. This makes it harder to access stored fat for energy, even if you're eating well. Add in stress, poor sleep, and a history of dieting, and your body can feel like it’s working against you.

This isn’t about willpower or cutting carbs.

It’s about understanding your metabolic blueprint, and supporting it with the right foods, at the right times, in the right combinations.⁣

That’s where individualised nutrition like Metabolic Balance makes all the difference.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start getting real answers, I’d love to support you.⁣

My mission is....

To help as many people as I can to restore their health and wellness.

In an initial consultation (1 hour) I collect information about your current health complaint/s, medical history, review of systems and clinical examinations. You may be referred for blood pathology testing to assist in treatment assessment. Although symptoms are addressed you will be educated on relevant dietary, lifestyle changes required to manage the underlying causes. Herbal medicines and nutritional supplementation may be prescribed as part of your treatment.

The number of follow up appointments required will depend on how you have had the symptoms/disease for and the response to treatment. Follow up consultations are 30 minutes.

I have a special interest in digestive health, weight management, hormone imbalances, anxiety, adrenal fatigue and autoimmune conditions. I am a certified Metabolic Metabolic Balance® Practitioner, which is a scientific weight management program which offers an individualised plan based on your unique chemistry. I love it as it is based on whole foods and works.
