Feeling slow to start this year?

This in-between part of January can feel weird - like you should be full of energy and motivation, but your body hasn’t quite caught up.

It’s easy to think you’re behind… but this is actually where most people are. Your nervous system might still be settling after a chaotic December. Your gut might still be recalibrating. Your skin might still be processing the festive season.

This isn’t a setback — it’s part of the reset.

✨ My advice? Don’t rush it.
Give your body what it’s really asking for:
• A slower pace
• Grounding meals
• Fresh air + sunlight
• Less noise, more regulation

You don’t have to be “on” to be making progress.

If you’re ready for personalised support, consults are open — link in bio.

Just a quick note to say I’m still on break this week, but I’ll be back in clinic soon, with a few days of availability mid-January before taking another short pause.

If you’ve reached out recently, replies might take a little longer so thank you for your patience.

✨ January consult bookings are open via the link in bio
Feel free to lock in your spot for when I’m back in session.

This time of year can feel a little scattered so if you’re noticing flare-ups, fatigue, or just feel out of rhythm, that’s okay. Your body’s just recalibrating.

Focus on the basics:
• Plenty of rest
• Hydration
• Regular, balanced meals
• A good dose of nature therapy 🌳

I’ll be back soon, and I’m looking forward to supporting you in the year ahead 💛

Today’s my last day in clinic for 2025 and before I log off for the year, I just want to say THANK YOU!!!

Whether you booked a consult, shared a post, or quietly followed along, I’m so grateful to be part of your journey.

This year has been full in all the best ways. I supported hundreds of women through their skin, gut and hormone healing, welcomed beautiful new faces into the clinic, expanded the Kollective team, and completed another year of my Masters of Acupuncture (only 1 more to go!).

I’m now taking a much-needed break and will be back in clinic on Monday 12th January. If you’d like to work together in 2026, January spots are now open.

You can book your consult via the link in bio!

See you in 2026, Kayla 🌿

The silly season is here 🎉

And while I love the catch-ups and festive energy, I also know how easily this time of year can leave you feeling flared up, fatigued, or frazzled.

In clinic, I often see:
• Blood sugar chaos from irregular meals + sugar
• Hormonal spikes from stress + alcohol
• Gut flares from disrupted routines
• Skin reacting to all of the above

So here’s your gentle reminder: you don’t have to be “perfect”, you just need a few grounding supports to keep you on track!

Try these simple shifts to keep your skin and energy steady:
✨ Don’t skip meals to 'save calories' — eating regular meals (especially with protein) will do far more for your blood sugar and skin than ‘saving up’ and bingeing later 🍽️
✨ Balance your plate at parties — start with protein, salads and veg, then add the potatoes and treats. Your skin and energy will thank you 🥗🧀
✨ Hydrate between drinks — one glass of water between cocktails is a small shift that can make a big difference for your nervous system and your skin 💧🍷
✨ Choose rest over one more RSVP — you don’t have to say yes to everything!

It’s not about being strict, it’s about being supportive.

📥 If you want help personalising your plan, consults are open until mid-Dec - book via the link in bio.

Big news behind the scenes at Kollective Wellness ✨

As many of you know, this year has been full! Clinic has been busier than ever, and I’m also deep in my Master’s in Acupuncture (one year to go!).
To help me keep everything running smoothly, I’ve decided to take my own advice and ask for some help…

🌸 Meet Zoe, my amazing new Virtual Assistant!

Zoe is incredibly warm and one of the most organised people I know. She’ll be taking care of all things admin from emails and bookings to payments, and general clinic support, so I can stay focused on doing what I love most: helping you reach your skin, gut and hormone goals.

If you’ve emailed the clinic recently, you’ve probably already seen her name pop up — and trust me, you’re going to love her as much as I do 💛

Let’s talk about perioral dermatitis - because mine has flared again recently.

It’s easy to assume that because I’m a naturopath, my skin is always glowing and calm. But truthfully? I’m human. And this flare has been a reminder that healing isn’t linear - especially during allergy (and exam!) season.

This time of year, I often see skin flares tied to a few sneaky triggers:
• High histamine load from seasonal allergies (hello Melbourne spring 🌾)
• Stress - emotional, physical, or both
• Disrupted gut or nervous system regulation

So here’s how I’m supporting my skin right now:
🧴 I’ve pulled right back on actives and sticking to a very simple, barrier-focused skincare routine
🌿 Internally, I’m focusing on nervous system regulation, gut support, and lower-histamine nourishment
🫖 Plus, I’m checking in with my own support crew (because yes, even practitioners need practitioners!)

If your skin is flaring and you feel like you’ve been doing “everything right” please know, you’re not failing. Your body is just asking for a reset.

You’ve probably heard of histamine in the context of hayfever…
But what if your breakouts, rashes, and that afternoon headache or post-meal bloating were all linked to the same thing?

Histamine isn’t just about allergies, it’s a chemical your body naturally produces. But when it builds up faster than your body can clear it, things can start to feel off in ways you might not expect.

Common signs of histamine overload:

🩷 Skin-related
• Rashes, hives, or eczema that worsen in spring
• Flushing after wine, chocolate, or spicy food
• Itchy skin without a clear cause

🧠 Nervous system + brain
• Anxiety or restlessness
• Headaches or migraines (especially around your cycle)
• Feeling wired but tired

🍽 Digestive system
• Bloating or reflux (especially after fermented foods)
• Loose stools or urgency
• Feeling full quickly

👃 Respiratory & sinuses
• Hayfever-like symptoms even without a cold
• Nasal congestion that comes and goes
• Post-nasal drip or sneezing fits

Histamine issues aren’t always obvious but they are common.
Especially in women with underlying gut issues, hormone changes, or high stress levels.

If these symptoms feel familiar, you don’t have to piece it together alone.

Book a 1:1 consult and let’s explore what your body’s really asking for 🌿

23/09/2025

Do your skin flares seem random or triggered by things like wine, chocolate, strawberries, or even spring pollen? 🍷🍓🐝

It might not just be sensitivity.

It could be histamine overload and your skin is bearing the brunt of it.
Histamine is a natural compound your body makes.

It helps with digestion, immune function and responses to allergens.

But when histamine builds up faster than your body can clear it, you may start to notice symptoms like:

🔺 Itchy, reactive skin
🔺 Hives or rashes that come and go
🔺 Facial flushing or eczema that flares after certain foods or seasons
🔺 Feeling puffy or inflamed for no clear reason

So why does this happen?
➡️ Gut health is key. Certain bacteria help break down histamine. If your gut is imbalanced (dysbiosis), you might be missing that critical function.
➡️ Liver detox & elimination matter. If your liver or bowels are sluggish, histamine can linger longer in your system and trigger inflammation.
➡️ Stress also increases histamine release so if you’re feeling overwhelmed, your flares might be too.

💛 You’re not “overreacting” your body is just overwhelmed.
If this sounds like your skin, I’d love to help you get clear on what’s actually going on.

Book a 1:1 consult and let’s map out your next steps, together 🌿

If every spring your eczema flares, rashes reappear, or your skin feels red and reactive, your body is asking for deeper support.

And while skincare can help soothe the surface, lasting relief starts within.

Here are 3 internal foundations to focus on this season 👇

✅ 1. Prioritise daily elimination
Your skin is one of your detox organs so if your bowels aren’t moving daily, that waste has to go somewhere. Often, it tries to come out through the skin.
👉 Aim for at least one well-formed bowel movement each day to keep histamine, old hormones, and inflammatory waste moving out of the body.

🍏 2. Eat more quercetin-rich foods
Quercetin is a natural compound that helps stabilise mast cells (the ones that release histamine).
Try adding:
• Green tea
• Apples (with the skin)
• Red onion
• Chamomile tea
These can help reduce that histamine “spike” that often flares skin in spring.

🍽 3. Keep your blood sugar steady
Spikes and crashes in blood glucose can drive inflammation and inflammation can drive skin reactivity.

👉 Focus on eating balanced meals every 3-4 hours, with protein, fat and fibre to help your body (and skin) feel safe.

💛 You don’t have to overhaul everything, start with one change that feels doable.

And if you’d like personalised support this spring, book a 1:1 consult and let’s get to the root of it together 🌿

Your skin’s flaring… but the sun’s out, the days feel lighter, shouldn’t it be getting better?

If this time of year brings on itchy patches, hives, or eczema flares, you’re not alone and it’s not all in your head (or your skincare).

Spring is beautiful… but for sensitive skin? It can be a bit of a storm.

🌿 Here’s what’s actually going on inside your body:

🌼 More allergens = more histamine
Pollen, grasses, mould spores are all more abundant in spring. These can trigger histamine release, which doesn't just cause sneezing or watery eyes, it can show up as itching, redness, rashes, and flares on the skin too.

🧬 Your immune system is on high alert
If your gut lining is compromised or your detox pathways are sluggish (especially liver or bowel function), your body may struggle to break down and clear excess histamine leading to a kind of internal traffic jam.

🔥 Inflammation builds up beneath the surface
Even if you’re eating well and doing “all the right things,” underlying gut imbalances, blood sugar dysregulation, or long-term stress can keep your inflammation high and your skin in a reactive state.

The result? Your skin flares faster and louder, especially when spring adds fuel to the fire.

This doesn’t mean your skin is overreacting, it means it’s communicating. Loudly.

In the next post, I’ll share gentle, internal strategies to help your body feel safer (so your skin can too) 🌿

09/09/2025

Ever notice your skin flares up right before your period?

This isn’t random - it’s your hormones shifting.

In the lead-up to your bleed, progesterone drops, and oestrogen becomes more dominant. This shift increases oil production, slows down skin healing, and drives inflammation - the perfect storm for breakouts.

You might also notice more congestion, sensitivity, or flare-ups of conditions like eczema or perioral dermatitis during this time.

In clinic, I support clients to work with their cycle - not against it.
That means understanding your patterns and giving your body what it needs during each phase.

Some of the strategies we use include:
🌿 Supporting progesterone in the luteal phase
🥦 Balancing blood sugar to keep inflammation down
🧘‍♀️ Calming the nervous system to reduce hormonal stress responses
💊 Targeted nutrients like zinc and B6 to support skin and hormone health

When you understand the “why” behind your breakouts, you can take steps to prevent them - not just treat them after they appear.

Want to get ahead of hormonal breakouts?
Book a consultation and let’s build a personalised hormone-support plan.
