When I was diagnosed with a thyroid autoimmune condition around 10 years agoI felt a huge sense of relief. I had lived through the previous decade where regular bouts of poor health were the norm and a continuing and sometimes baffling set of ever moving symptoms got added to the mix. While it was fantastic to get a diagnosis to my condition I quickly became frustrated with the over-simplistic approach to its treatment. My condition was at least a decade in the making so it came as no surprise when a simple pill did not provide a solution. Unfortunately, the thyroid medication I was prescribed caused further issues and made me feel worse. My condition and road back to good health and wellbeing took a little bit more effort to unravel.
My healing journey was not a straight forward one - it has involved some backward steps as well as following dead ends - but what it has taught me is to listen to the wisdom of my own body. I have had friends and family that have been amazingly supportive and I have had others that just didn't understand and I too often heard the phrase “But you don’t look sick”. Yet, I was not the ME I had been. I had no energy or interest in the things I had always loved. It took all my effort each day to drag myself out of bed and to work. Brain fog and fatigue made all the things that had come easily an absolute chore. I was exhausted but I couldn't sleep and the weight was creeping on. I felt like I was losing myself. It was heartbreaking and confusing and I often felt to blame - like somehow it was my fault.
After my initial frustration in the treatment of my condition I decided to put my Science background and research skills to good use and unearth holistic and scientifically backed approaches to treating thyroid, fatigue and sleep problems. I became so passionate about the changes these things made I quit my job and started studying Herbal Medicine and Naturopathy. I integrated this with my knowledge of Ayurveda, Yoga and Meditation. My autoimmune condition had also brought with it several hormonal imbalances and so this became my other passion. Perimenopause/Menopause are not at all what modern society have let them become - it is instead a chance for transformation - on many levels. The final chapter in my journey saw me become interested in not just immune systems and how they work but ageing and how it might be done in a way that extended health not just age. Working with others to support them in increasing their health-span not just life-span is my new passion.
It was through natural holistic solutions that the me I had thought I had lost re-emerged. And it was through holistic habits and herbs that I have increased my vitality and overall health - mind, body and spirirt. I have that wish for you too. In my Practice I offer both standard pay as you go consultations as well as Premium Holistic Health and Welllbeing package where I work with you for 6 months to create a comprehensive health and wellness routine that is individually tailored to assist you with healthy ageing.
