I help women in midlife reset their metabolism so they release weight and have more energy to live an incredible life

15/12/2025

One of the biggest mistakes I see women make in menopause? Believing that what worked before should still work now.

You're eating the same healthy foods, you're moving your body, but the weight keeps creeping on. And you can't understand why.

Here's what's really happening:
When your hormones shift in menopause, your body's needs change too.
The way you've always eaten might not serve you anymore.

It's not that you're doing something wrong. It's that your body is asking for something different.
This is where personalised nutrition becomes essential. Understanding:

WHAT to eat for your unique metabolism
HOW MUCH your body actually needs now
WHEN to eat for optimal hormone and blood sugar balance

This is exactly what I help women with through the Metabolic Balance programme.

If you're eating well but still struggling with weight gain, energy dips, or feeling like your body has become a mystery to you, I'd love to help.

Send me a message and let's talk about what your body needs in this stage of life.

Women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond shouldn't have to wake up every day feeling exhausted, forgetting where they put their keys, or feeling uncomfortable in their own skin.⁣
⁣
Yet so many of us have accepted this as "just part of getting older."⁣
⁣
But here's what I want you to know - it doesn't have to be this way.⁣
⁣
The memory lapses, the stubborn weight that won't shift, the energy crashes... these aren't inevitable. They're signs that your body is asking for something different.⁣
⁣
When hormones shift during peri-menopause and menopause, your metabolism changes too. And that means the approach that worked for you in your 30s simply won't cut it anymore.⁣
⁣
This is where understanding your unique biochemistry makes all the difference.⁣
⁣
With the right support, whether that's through the Metabolic Balance program, personalised herbal medicine, or nutritional guidance tailored to your life stage, you can feel like yourself again.⁣
⁣
Clear-headed. Energised. Comfortable in your body.⁣
⁣
You're in the prime of your life. This should be your time to thrive, not just survive.⁣
⁣
If you're ready to stop struggling, I'd love to help you. Send me a message 💚

If you're a mum, a busy working woman or juggling both, self-care probably feels like something you'll get to... later.⁣
⁣
After you've looked after everyone else. After the work is done. After the house is in order.⁣
⁣
Many of my clients are women who've spent years putting themselves last are now struggling with their energy, their weight, their sleep, their hormones.⁣
⁣
And the truth is, taking care of yourself isn't selfish. It's essential.⁣
⁣
You can't pour from an empty cup. And your body is telling you that right now.⁣
⁣
Taking care of yourself doesn't mean me first, it means me too.⁣
⁣
Whether that's prioritising rest, nourishing your body with the right foods, or seeking support to understand what's happening with your hormones, you deserve to feel well.⁣
⁣
You're in the prime of your life. This is your time to thrive, not just survive.⁣
⁣
If you're ready to finally put yourself on the list, I'd love to help you 💚

I see you.⁣
⁣
I see the woman who's doing everything "right" but still feels exhausted by midday.⁣
⁣
The woman who's frustrated that the scales won't shift, no matter how much she restricts or exercises.⁣
⁣
The woman who's foggy, forgetful, and wondering if this is just what life looks like now.⁣
⁣
The woman who's been told "it's just your age" or "it's just menopause" without any real solutions.⁣
⁣
I hear you.⁣
⁣
Your body is just operating under a different hormonal landscape than it did in your 30s. And it's asking for something different.⁣
⁣
For over 10 years, I've been helping women in midlife understand what's happening in their bodies and give them the personalised support they need to feel like themselves again.⁣
⁣
Whether it's supporting you through the Metabolic Balance program, prescribing herbal medicine to help with cognition and mood, or providing nutritional advice that actually works for your life stage, my approach is always personalised to you.⁣
⁣⁣
If you're ready for someone to truly see you, hear you, and support you, I'm here.⁣

This is what makes me feel good.⁣
⁣
Strength training isn't just about building muscle, though that's important too.⁣
⁣
In menopause, our bodies go through significant changes. Oestrogen decline affects our bone density, muscle mass, metabolism, and even our mood.⁣
⁣
This is where strength training becomes so valuable.⁣
⁣
Here's what it does:⁣
⁣
💪 Protects bone density - crucial as osteoporosis risk increases after menopause⁣
💪 Maintains and builds lean muscle mass - which naturally declines with age⁣
💪 Supports metabolism - muscle tissue burns more energy than fat tissue⁣
💪 Improves insulin sensitivity - helping with blood sugar regulation and weight management⁣
💪 Boosts mood and energy - through the release of endorphins⁣
💪 Strengthens joints and improves balance - reducing fall risk as we age⁣
⁣
You don't need to lift heavy weights or spend hours in the gym. Even 2-3 sessions a week of bodyweight exercises or light weights can make a real difference.⁣
⁣
Find what feels good for your body. Start where you are. Build slowly.⁣
⁣
Movement is medicine, especially in midlife 💚⁣
⁣
What type of movement makes you feel good?

It takes courage to create a new normal.⁣
⁣
I see this every day, women who are tired of feeling tired, frustrated with their bodies, and ready for something to change.⁣
⁣
They're stepping out of their comfort zone to try a different approach. To finally understand what their body needs instead of following another generic plan that doesn't work.⁣
⁣
And I am always inspired when someone is prepared to make those changes to improve how they feel.⁣
⁣
It's not always easy. There are challenges along the way. But when you're ready to honour what your body is telling you, that's when real transformation begins.⁣
⁣
It's a journey - for us both.⁣
⁣
There are days I pinch myself that I get to help people with their health and make a difference.⁣
⁣
If you're ready to take that courageous step, I'd love to walk alongside you 💚

Menopause is certainly a lot more than just hot flushes and night sweats.

Often for women, they have low energy, they're putting on weight, they have brain fog, and they just don't feel good and as a naturopath, I'm actually going to the root cause or causes for those symptoms.

Often it can be due to;

✨ Broken sleep
✨ Inadequate nutritional status
✨ Stress

I am here to support you to feel so much better by addressing those areas and sometimes more.

If you want someone to help you with that, who really cares and listens, just reach out to me. I'd love to chat.

In the busyness of daily life, are you mindful of how you feel?⁣
⁣
With energy?
Do you move easily from bending to standing?
Your 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.⁣
⁣
Balance isn't just about food on your plate. It's about honouring what your body truly needs.⁣
⁣
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.⁣

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Golden Grove?

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.
