Symptoms of PCOS - any of these sound familiar?

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is one of the most common hormonal conditions in women, yet so many struggle to get answers. Symptoms can look different for everyone—irregular cycles, acne, excess hair growth, or difficulty with weight and fertility.

The good news? Nutrition and lifestyle changes can play a big role in managing PCOS and improving quality of life.

👉 If you’re navigating symptoms like this, it might be time to chat with your healthcare provider—or book in a naturopathic consult for tailored support.

Ever wondered what actually happens in a naturopath consult? 🌿

While it may seem like a big investment of your time and energy, here’s what you can expect when you book with me:

✅ A full hour of uninterrupted time focused entirely on you
✅ A deep dive into your health history, current concerns, medications, digestion, hormones, and immune health
✅ Lifestyle review – sleep, energy, stress, movement & food
✅ Pathology review (and new testing if needed)
✅ Physical signs check – nails, tongue & more for hidden deficiencies
✅ A tailored plan with food, lifestyle, herbs and supplements to help you start feeling like yourself again

Healing takes time, and we’ll often uncover things layer by layer—but it’s all about addressing the foundations of your health so you can truly thrive.

If you’re ready to prioritise your health, I’d love to support you.

Looking after the littlest rockstars today with a refresh of the kids’ corner 🎨📚🧸

Children are always welcome in the clinic — whether they’re coming along with Mum or Dad, or seeing me as clients themselves. There are toys, books, and colouring in to keep them busy, and the space is pram and breastfeeding-friendly too.

Because supporting your health (and your family’s) should feel easy and welcoming 🌿✨

Spring 🌸

Also known as the season of me running around the house yelling “LOOK WHAT I GREW!” 😅

Today’s excitement is homegrown asparagus that I’ll add to dinner tonight.

Hope you’re soaking up this gorgeous Father’s Day sunshine — maybe even out in the garden too!

It’s Women’s Health Week 💕 — the perfect reminder to check in with where you’re at, and what tests can help you feel informed and supported through every stage of life.

✅ In your 20s, it’s about laying strong foundations with things like cervical screening, nutrient checks, and making sure your thyroid and hormones are on track.
✅ In your 30s, fertility, cycle health and metabolic markers become more important.
✅ Your 40s bring perimenopause changes, breast checks, and a closer eye on thyroid, iron and gut health.
✅ In your 50s and beyond, bone density, cardiovascular health, bowel screening and skin checks play a bigger role.

Alongside these conventional tests, holistic and functional options like gut microbiome testing, hormone testing, and mineral analysis can give deeper insights into your unique health story.

Prevention is always easier than cure. And remember — you don’t have to do it alone. Your GP, women’s health nurse, naturopath, nutritionist, and other allied health practitioners all bring a piece of the puzzle to your care. 💜

Save this post as a checklist and chat with your health team about what’s right for you.

Blog Post:

If your family struggle with eczema, asthma, or sensitive skin, the water they’re showering in every day could be part of the problem. Chlorine and other chemicals in our tap water can dry out the skin and irritate the lungs – especially in a hot steamy shower.

A good quality shower filter can help reduce these irritants, leaving softer skin and easier breathing for the whole family.

👉 Read my latest blog to learn more about why a shower filter can make such a difference. https://herbandspice.com.au/blog/can-a-shower-filter-help-with-asthma-and-eczema

What's really in your shower water?  Tap water isn’t just H₂O. It’s a mix of disinfectants, heavy metals, and trace contaminants. The most common contaminants in tap water are chlorine and chloramines, which are added to kill bacteria and make water safe to drink. You may also find volati...

Had such a fun day in clinic with western herbalist student .house_of_herbs 🌿

We whipped up a soothing tincture for a stubborn cough, blended healing creams to support recovery after knee surgery, and even encapsulated a powder to make taking supplements easier for a little guy 👏

Love these hands-on days creating remedies that make a real difference! 💚

+ Banana Baked Oats by . Great for breakfasts or morning teas
+ Mexican beef mince with lots of added veg and lentils and using taco seasoning, ready to be made into Nacho Bowls or wraps. Mr 10 likes to add this to toasted sandwiches
+ Shredded cabbage, lettuce, carrot and cheese, for Nacho Bowls and wraps
+ Roast pumpkin, ready for easy sides and to add to salads

What have you prepped to get you through the week? I’d love to see hear some of your prep ideas
