Let’s be honest, most people want the fastest way out of discomfort.
But gut healing doesn’t come with a 3-day shipping option.
Your gut didn’t become inflamed overnight, and it won’t magically repair with one trending supplement or a “gut reset” challenge.
Especially if you’re still skipping meals, eating in a rush, or ignoring what your symptoms are actually trying to tell you.
The real work?
→ Slowing down
→ Getting to the root cause
→ Supporting the nervous system
→ Being consistent (yes, even when it’s boring)
If your symptoms are chronic, diet alone often won’t be enough.
You need a plan. One that’s specific to you, not what worked for your friend.

Gut healing is possible, but only if you stop quitting every time it gets too hard or uncomfortable.

If only we could all be so perfect 💁‍♀️

Look don’t use these as reasons to encourage feeding your kids crap or drinking more coffee because I do not recommend, but you reaching for some ideal of perfection will more then likely create more stress and pressure then the act alone.

The amount of women I see that reach for this pinnacle of perfection because it’s what’s displayed on socials of by someone who has the financial capacity to eat all organic and only shop where there is no seed oil. Or controls every single thing that goes into their child’s mouth, like great, amazing for them 👏 is it realistic for you though?

Can’t we work towards optimal health without these judgements and pressure to be perfect in an imperfect world. I truly look up to some nutritionists who advocate for only whole foods for their children and having the perfect diet. But they also have a very different lifestyle to many, they don’t live rural, or split families, their lifestyle allows for that way of living, which I’m sure comes with its own challenges. But the women I see, juggling kids, jobs, co parenting, financial pressure, and lack of medical support, an all organic/whole foods/stress free/ perfect health routine ain’t going to happen.

So I tell you these things to be real, I once purchased all organic, wouldn’t use a processed product with seed oil and tried to become a matcha girl 😂 I felt worse then I do now. But also these aren’t excuses, I definitely need to work on my coffee consumption, and I’m working on my own health with my own naturopath. I’m just not expecting perfection anytime soon.

Don’t let Insta fool you into thinking you need a ‘perfect’ health routine to have a life that’s healthy for you.

Before you waste your money on another gut health powder. 😮‍💨

Get to know your gut! Get to know your symptoms, and get to know when there might be an issue.

Sometimes when asking women about their bowel motions they have honestly not looked in the loo 🚽

I know ewww gross. But honestly you have a hopefully daily indicator of your gut health. All it takes is a look. 🤨

Frequency
Are you going every day?
Daily, well-formed stools are a sign your gut and detox pathways are working efficiently. Less than that? We’re looking at sluggish digestion and possible dysbiosis. More than 3x daily or urgency? Could be inflammation, food triggers, or bile acid imbalances.

Shape & Consistency
The Bristol Stool Chart is a helpful visual, but generally, your stool should be smooth, soft, sausage-shaped and easy to pass.
Pebbles = dehydration or sluggish transit
Loose = inflammation, food intolerance, or poor absorption

Colour
Brown is ideal (thank you bile!).
Very pale? Possible gallbladder/bile flow issue.
Green? Often linked to rapid transit or leafy greens.
Black or red? Needs investigation (especially if persistent). If not food related.

Float or Sink?
Stools that float may be a sign of malabsorption (think fats or nutrients not being properly digested). This can show up in gallbladder dysfunction or pancreatic enzyme deficiency.

Let me know if these help by liking or saving 👍

Your vaginal microbiome might be the missing piece in your fertility journey.
We talk so much about hormones, ovulation tracking, and luteal phases (all important!), but there’s a whole ecosystem playing an equally vital role: the vaginal microbiome.
This community of microbes, primarily Lactobacillus species helps to keep the vaginal environment slightly acidic, which protects against infections, supports healthy cervical mucus, and creates an ideal environment for s***m survival.
But when this ecosystem becomes imbalanced (we call this dysbiosis), it can quietly impact fertility in a big way.
Some of the ways include:
✨ Impaired s***m transport due to changes in pH
✨ Increased inflammation in the reproductive tract
✨ Recurrent thrush, BV, or UTIs (which can disrupt conception timing or implantation)
✨ Increased miscarriage risk (especially when specific harmful microbes are dominant)
In fact, studies have shown that women with a Lactobacillus-dominant vaginal microbiome had higher rates of implantation and ongoing pregnancy, particularly during IVF cycles.

So how do you know if there’s an imbalance?
You experience recurrent thrush, BV, or UTIs.
There’s vaginal irritation, discharge changes, or odour even without infection.
You’ve had repeated early pregnancy loss with no clear explanationYou’ve been diagnosed with unexplained infertility.
There’s a history of long-term antibiotic or oral contraceptive use.
You’re undergoing IVF or IUI and want to optimise outcomes.

We offer vaginal microbiome testing with personalised interpretation and holistic care plans to support fertility, vaginal health, and overall health.

This beautiful client came to me experiencing constant irritation, pain with any kind of touch (even from underwear), thick discharge, pelvic pain, and painful in*******se. ⁠
⁠
She had been relying on repeated Canesten treatments with no lasting change.⁠

After 6 months of consistent care, she now enjoys pain-free intimacy, no more touch sensitivity, and has been symptom-free for over 4 months.⁠
⁠
Healing takes time, but it is absolutely possible, and your body wants to return to balance.⁠

Are you experiencing recurring infections, discomfort, or imbalances down there? A balanced vaginal microbiome is essential for overall health, yet it’s often overlooked for many females... ⁠
⁠
Here are some of my favourite ways you can support a healthy vaginal microbiome. ⁠
〜 Prioritise gut health with prebiotics and probiotics to nourish beneficial bacteria⁠
〜 Reduce sugar, refined carbs, and alcohol, which can feed opportunistic microbes⁠
〜 Avoid fragranced soaps, douches, and harsh products near the v***a to maintain pH balance⁠
〜 Support adrenal health and restorative sleep with magnesium, B vitamins, and adaptogens⁠
〜 Choose pH-friendly, water-based lubricants to avoid irritation⁠
〜 Enhance detoxification with cruciferous veggies, fiber, and liver support⁠
〜 Opt for organic cotton or bamboo underwear to minimise irritation⁠
⁠
By addressing nutrition, lifestyle, and external factors, you can create a healthy environment for your vaginal microbiome.⁠

Hello and welcome 🤗 I’m Andrea, a qualified naturopath and yoga instructor, and I help women who feel unheard in their health journey. If you’ve been told your blood tests are “normal” but still struggle with hormonal imbalances, fatigue, thyroid issues, or sexual health concerns, you’re not alone.⁠
⁠
Too many women are dismissed, offered only medication, or told to just “exercise more and eat less.” But women’s health isn’t about dieting, restriction, or pushing harder—it’s about understanding what your body truly needs.⁠
⁠
My approach is deeply personal. I take the time to get to know YOU—your story, your symptoms, your struggles—so together, we can uncover the root cause and build a plan that actually works for your body, not against it.⁠
⁠
Health isn’t one-size-fits-all, and healing isn’t quick-fix. If you’re ready for a long-term, individualised approach to your health, you’re in the right place.⁠
⁠
Let’s start your journey—send me a DM today to learn more.
