Yesterday I had a DEXA scan! And I dragged hubby along for one too. Yes this is us - I got photos.

I am super excited about having my results to use as a baseline now that I’m 45 and in early Peri.

I occasionally have sent clients to get a DEXA but it’s something I’m going to encourage more and more.

There are two groups of people I believe should strongly consider prioritising paying for a DEXA scan:

1. Women entering perimenopause and beyond
2. Anyone using GLP-1 medications/injections with rapid weight loss.

Why?

As women enter perimenopause, estrogen begins to decline — and with it can come accelerated changes in:
• decreasing bone density
• decreasing lean muscle mass
• decreased strength
• decreased metabolism

For those using GLP-1 injections- often times with appetite suppression we see a decreased nutritional intake, and while this achieves weight loss it can often include loss of valuable lean muscle mass AND bone mass. Not only is this very worrying for our later heads if will also guarantee a rebound weight gain!

Loss of bone mass can lead to osteoporosis and also cognitive decline as we get older.

Loss of muscle mass means less metabolically active and less strength and support around our joints.

A DEXA scan gives insight into:
• lean muscle mass
• body fat percentage
• visceral fat - the dangerous fat around our organs
• bone density
• changes in body composition over time

Because healthy ageing is not just about skincare or losing weight.

It’s about preserving muscle, bone, strength and metabolic health for the long term.

Lastly having this as a baseline, if we get our mindset right, we can use this as a powerful motivator to start making positive changes focusing on what really matters - not the number on the scale - but strength, visceral fat and mobility.

Feel free to ask me any questions or DM how I would
Use this to support my clients with health and healthy aging!

Just finished our 1st Group Hypnotherapy session and it was a beautiful empowering evening shared with some beautiful women.

Focusing on mindset, positivity, motivation for things like moving our bodies, nourishing our bodies…. And of course finding calm….

A focus on restoring mind- body connection.

Something I've been quietly working on is almost ready... and I'd love your input.

I'm launching monthly women's circle incorporating hypnotherapy here in the Penrith area, and I want to make sure I create something that truly serves the women in our community.

I know that right now life is feeling stretched for so many of us, whether that be financially, emotionally, all of it. And yet this is often exactly the time we need support the most.

These sessions will be warm, intimate and genuinely affordable for all. A beautiful way to experience the powerful, lasting change that hypnotherapy makes possible and also to build connections with like-minded women.

I realise that some women feel curious about hypnotherapy but hesitant... not quite sure what to expect... this is an opportunity to gently dip your toe in, or perhaps you've worked with me before and want an accessible way to keep going — this is for you.

Before I finalise the details, I would love to hear from women in our community..

Please drop a comment below or PM me, and tell me - what would feel most supportive to you right now? Would it be support for anxiety, stress, weight loss and health, confidence, sleep, or something else entirely - I want to hear what's actually going on for you.

If you were to come to an affordable group hypnotherapy session once a month, what area would you love help with the most right now?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) isn’t just a “mystery tummy issue” anymore.

It’s now recognised as a real condition with identifiable mechanisms. There are 4 main pillars that can drive symptoms: genetics, gut-bacteria imbalances, stress (gut-brain connection) and food reactivity.

In this blog, I break down what that means in simple terms — and how understanding these pillars can guide the path to healing.

LUNCH IDEA. I saw this on an Insta reel somewhere and though perfect for my clients starting phase 3 in Metabolic Balance when starting to combine proteins...

ALSO perfect for everyone else who wants to start eating in an Anti-Inflammatory whole foods way (aka high in Omega 3's, olive oil, vegetables, fibre).

ALSO a perfect way to make Sardines more delicious for those who don't love them ...

and ALSO - pretty economical and easy as sardines are in the pantry, so are olives and S/D tomatoes. Use whatever salad you have handy.

Sardines x 1 - 1.5 tins
Yoghurt plain - enough to cover like a sauce.
Olives sliced - a handful
Sun Dried Tomatos chopped - a handful
Baby spinach
Grated carrot

Mix together.

If you love Sun Dried Tomatoes - you will now love eating Sardines! If you're not sure, try it and see. So good.

Free Mini Phone Chat.

I am already taking bookings for people who would like to start their Metabolism Reset journey in August. It is the perfect time, the coldest will be behind us and spring time will bring warmth & fresh life.

I am taking bookings for free 15 minute phone calls and Initials in the next 2 weeks, before I go away. This is a free phone chat to work out whats going on for you, what your needs are, and if we're a good fit.

I am a Certified Practicing Nutritionist and find that for some people 1-2 consults and a few strategies is enough. For others they are ready for a whole shift in mindset around food and want to really be curious and learn about what their body needs, how it functions and how to best support it, especially as we transition to 2nd stage of life or travel through Perimenopause.

Metabolic Balance is a whole food program based on a blood test, body measurements, health conditions and some medications so it is completely individualised to you.

You can book your free chat at the below booking link (link in comments) or read more about it on my website. Feel free to DM me any questions.

Last Saturday I had the honour of presenting at Michal Gabriel’s beauty salon VIP event.

The topic was ‘What your skin is telling you about your Gut, Hormones and Stress levels’.

Did you know that your skin is not just a protective layer that holds everything together…. It is actually the largest organ in the human body and when we have inflammation appearing on the skin, it is an often a signal that there is inflammation happening within….

I’ll share a little more about this over the coming weeks.

It is such a privilege to work in this space of healing and growth with such beautiful people.

Wanna know what the best form of exercise to start off with is?

Answer: The one you actually enjoy!

I may be absolutely hopeless at tennis 😅 but starting my Monday morning playing beginner tennis with a bunch of fabulous ladies has honestly become my favourite part of the week.

Here’s to moving our bodies and having a laugh (or lots of laughs) while we do it!

💪

Can Anxiety Cause IBS? Can IBS Cause Anxiety? Why Your Gut and Brain Are Connected

Struggling with gut issues and anxiety? You're not alone—and you're not imagining the connection.

If you’ve ever had “butterflies in your stomach” before a stressful event, you’ve already felt the gut-brain connection in action. But for many people, this isn’t just an occasional flutter—it’s a daily struggle.

Conditions like IBS, bloating, reflux, constipation, or ongoing gut discomfort often go hand in hand with anxiety, overwhelm, or a racing mind. The connection is real—and fortunately, so is the solution.

The most effective way to break the cycle? Supporting both the gut and nervous system at the same time using a combination of targeted nutrition and clinical hypnotherapy.

The Gut-Brain Axis: Your Body’s Internal Highway
The gut and brain are deeply linked through a two-way communication system called the gut-brain axis, which includes the vagus nerve, hormones, and your microbiome. When one is out of balance, the other often suffers.

Chronic stress and anxiety can:

- Slow digestion and cause constipation or bloating
- Increase gut inflammation and sensitivity
- Trigger symptoms like nausea, urgency, or pain

Meanwhile, gut issues like IBS or reflux can:

- Disrupt sleep, mood, and mental clarity
- Trigger social anxiety or food fear
- Drain your energy and emotional resilience
- Create toxins that enter the bloodstream effecting cognitive function & Mood.

It becomes a frustrating cycle—but the good news is, you can reset the loop by addressing both sides.

How Nutrition Supports Gut and Mood
What you eat affects your:

- Microbiome health (the good bacteria that support mood and digestion)
- Inflammation levels
- Blood sugar regulation, which impacts energy and emotional balance
- Hormone and neurotransmitter production (like serotonin and GABA)

A nutrition plan tailored to your needs can help reduce gut symptoms and support a calmer, more balanced nervous system. This often includes:

- Anti-inflammatory whole foods
- Fibre for bowel regularity and microbiome diversity
- Supporting nutrients like magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins
- Identifying and gently reducing food triggers—not extreme diets

How Hypnotherapy Calms the Gut and Mind:
Hypnotherapy isn’t just about relaxation—it’s about retraining your body’s stress response and calming the internal alarm system that keeps symptoms stuck.

Through gentle, focused sessions, you can:
- Reduce anxiety, overwhelm, and looping thoughts
- Calm visceral hypersensitivity in the gut
- Rewire negative patterns or food fears
- Activate the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) state

Many clients report better digestion, less tension, improved sleep, and a renewed sense of calm—often within just a few sessions.

Why using both together Work best:
When you address both nutrition and the nervous system, you create a synergistic effect. You’re not just managing symptoms—you’re helping the body feel safe, nourished, and balanced from the inside out.

As a Certified Practising Nutritionist and Clinical Hypnotherapist, I work holistically with clients to create a personalised plan that meets them where they’re at—body and mind.

Ready to Feel Better?
You don’t need to choose between physical or mental health. When you support both, your body can finally move out of survival mode and into healing.
