It was a magical day…
So many beautiful moments…
My last chicken…
What happens next? I can’t wait to find out…but for now I am soaking up all the little things 🥰

You want better sleep?
Start with your mornings.

One of the most powerful things you can do for your hormones, your energy, your mood, and your sleep… is getting natural light in your eyes first thing in the morning. ☀️

When your eyes see natural sunlight early in the day, your brain starts a beautiful chain reaction:
• It tells your body, “We are awake now”
• It sets your internal clock (your circadian rhythm)
• It helps regulate cortisol (your energy hormone)
• And it starts the timer for melatonin… your sleep hormone… to be released later that night

So when women tell me:
“I am exhausted but cannot sleep”
“I wake up at 2 or 3 AM”
“I feel wired and tired at night”

This is often one of the very first things I tell them:
• Step outside within 30–60 minutes of waking
• Even 5–10 minutes helps (longer is even better)
• No sunglasses
• Cloudy days still count (this is Newfoundland… we work with what we have)

Sip your coffee outside
Take your dog for a short walk
Stand on your step and just breathe

It does not have to be perfect.
It just has to be consistent.

This is one of those “easy to do… easy not to do” things that quietly changes everything.

And if your sleep has been off for a while, this is a beautiful place to begin.

With Love,

Today marks 12 months without a period.

Menopause. 🤯

I will be 54 next month… and I have been thinking about what this moment actually means.

Nothing suddenly changed overnight.

If anything, I just feel more aware of my body now than ever before.

And maybe that is why I notice this even more clearly now…

Every day in clinic, I sit with women who feel exhausted.
Not sleeping.
Gaining weight.
Anxious.
Wondering what is happening to their bodies.

And reaching for anything that might help.

Because back in my early 40s, I did not even know what perimenopause was. I had my last baby at 36… so was it postpartum? perimenopause? stress? Honestly… what the hell did I know.

There was no language for it.

And now?

There is almost too much. And it leaves women feeling just as lost but in a different way.

So here is what I have come to understand:

How you move through perimenopause, menopause, postmenopause matters - wherever you are - right now - from this moment forward.

Where you start to listen to your body.
Where you stop chasing everything.
Where you come back to the simple things that actually support you.

Sleep.
Food.
Blood sugar.
Stress.
Movement that builds you up.

Not glamorous. But powerful.

And this is where I love what Chinese medicine calls this phase:

The Second Spring.🌷🌷🌷

What this means to me is that Spring is not neat and tidy.

It is muddy.
It is rainy.
It can feel a little all over the place.

But look what comes from it.

Growth.
Blooming.
Colour.
Joy.

And that is what this phase can be too…

An opportunity to reconnect.
To understand your body in a way you maybe never have before.
To show up for yourself differently.

So today at almost 54…

I am not crossing a finish line.

I am continuing.

Still learning.
Still adjusting.
Still showing up.

And maybe that is the message I want to leave you with…

We do not stop.

We just keep going.

(And if you have ever watched Finding Nemo as many times as I have…)

“just keep swimming, swimming, swimming” 🐟

So I sent out a Blood Lab Guide a while back.

It was a list.

Just a list - which, turns out, is not actually very helpful when you are staring at test names you do not recognize and wondering why your doctor should order them in the first place.

So I rebuilt it. Because you deserve to actually understand what you are asking for.

The updated guide covers every marker worth requesting - hormones, thyroid, iron, inflammation, blood sugar, liver health, key nutrients. Each one explained in a way that makes sense for where you are right now in perimenopause or menopause. And a script to help you walk into that appointment feeling prepared instead of uncertain.

Find it in my bio 🌷

If you already have results (or when you get them) and want to understand what they are actually telling you about your body - not just whether you fit in a reference range - come and see me. Book a lab review through the link in my bio.

You should know what is happening in your body. And I would love to be the one to help you figure it out.

With love, Robyn xx

You were told your blood work is “normal”…
But you still don’t feel like yourself.

This happens far more often than you think.

You finally take the step.
You book the appointment.
You ask for answers.
You do the blood work.

Then comes the call:
“Everything looks normal.”

But here’s what no one explains to you ⤵️

“Normal” doesn’t always mean optimal.

In Canada, lab ranges are based on groups of people in that region who are considered “generally healthy” - not on what thriving health looks like. And those averages? They often include people who are:

• Stressed
• Exhausted
• Undernourished
• Hormonally imbalanced

So yes, your results might be normal on paper…
but that doesn’t mean your body is functioning at its best.

This is where so many women feel stuck.
You feel the fatigue.
The bloating.
The weight changes.
The mood shifts.
The brain fog.

Yet you’ve been told everything is “fine.”

So where do you go from here?

This is where we start to look deeper. We explore:

• Optimal - not just “normal” - ranges
• Patterns in your blood work
• How your symptoms fit into the bigger picture
• Gut, stress, liver, and hormonal function

Because your body is always speaking.
We just need to learn how to listen differently.

If you’re ready to dig deeper, you can access my comprehensive blood lab request form in bio.

Not sure where to start?
Send me a message - I’ll help guide you through it.

You deserve real answers.
And you deserve to feel like you again.💗

A few weeks ago a friend said something to me...

“I love what you do. I read all your emails. But I do not feel that bad yet, so I will come see you when things start to get worse.”

We started talking about it, and she told me she had mentioned to her doctor that she thought she might be entering perimenopause.

His response?

“You will just have to push through.”

Like - what??!!

Her response made me laugh:

“Uh, hello. It is 2025. I do not have to just push through.”

Hell yes. She is absolutely right.

Interestingly, most women think they should wait until symptoms show up before they seek support. When the hot flashes start. When sleep falls apart. When the weight gain, mood swings, or brain fog arrive.

The truth is that the most powerful work usually starts before all of that.

Perimenopause is a transition that unfolds over many years. How the body moves through it is influenced by what is happening with your gut, your nervous system, your stress levels, your sleep, and your daily habits long before things begin to feel disruptive.

I have many clients who come to me simply because they want to stay feeling good. They want to understand what is happening in their body and make sure they are supporting it well now so the transition ahead can feel steadier.

Not perfectly.
Not obsessively.
Just consistently and with awareness.

After our conversation, my friend has since messaged me and said, “You know what? I think you are right. I would like to book in.”

And I was so happy!

Because this work is not just about helping women who feel miserable.

It is also about helping women stay well.

If you are in your late thirties, forties, or early fifties and you feel mostly okay but know things are beginning to shift, that is actually a beautiful time to start paying attention.

Let’s talk. You do not have to wait until things fall apart. 💗

I do not think women actually hate getting older.

I think women hate not understanding what is happening to them.

We lovingly watch our children change through every stage.

The baby.
The toddler.
The teenager.
The adult they are becoming.

We do not panic when they change.
We expect it.
We make space for it.
We feel proud of it.

But when we change?

We assume something is wrong.

Suddenly you are more irritable.
More tired.
More sensitive.
Less patient.
You need more rest.
You tolerate less noise.
Your body responds differently to food, sleep, stress, even people.

And instead of curiosity, you give yourself criticism.
You call it lack of willpower.
You call it laziness.
You call it “I just need to get my act together.”

But what I see every week is this:

Women are not struggling because they are weak.

They are struggling because nobody ever explained the transition.

So they try to force themselves to be the woman they were 15 years ago while their biology is quietly moving them into a new stage of life.

Of course you feel confused.
You were never taught this part.

You are not supposed to go backwards.
You are supposed to be supported forward.

I am finally starting to come out the other side of this season myself, and one of the biggest shifts was not a supplement or a diet.

It was understanding.

When a woman understands what is happening in her body, the guilt softens.

The shame softens.

And she can finally work with herself instead of against herself.

If this sounds like you, I teach about this every week inside my emails, and I also work one-on-one with women who want real guidance and a plan.

You do not need more discipline.
You need clarity.

You were never meant to navigate this stage quietly and alone.❤️

A few weeks ago we attended the last high school volleyball tournament we will ever attend as parents.
I knew it was coming.
I still was not ready.

Three kids. Three different sports journeys. So many memories. Our son found his place in basketball. Our girls in volleyball. Different courts, same life lessons.

Confidence.
Resilience.
Friendship.
Learning how to lose and still show up.
Learning how to win and stay grounded.

And somewhere along the way the parents become a team too. And not just the parents of our team - parents from every team. It’s truly magical.

One of the things I will miss the most are the hugs...

Every single time I walked into that gym I knew I would see these beautiful moms I have come to know and love. Some of them I actually went to high school with and somehow life brought us back together years later through our children and this sport. Others were new friendships that grew quietly over the seasons.

There were a few tears that final weekend. The good kind. The kind that come when you realize a chapter of life is closing.

For many of us moms, these years happen at the exact same time our bodies are moving through perimenopause.

We are cheering our kids on from the sidelines while quietly navigating hot flashes, poor sleep, brain fog, shifting moods, and bodies that suddenly feel different than they did a few years ago.

It is such a strange and beautiful season of life.

Our children are growing up.

Our bodies are changing and we are learning who we are in this next chapter.

Maybe that is part of why weekends like this feel so emotional.

They remind us that life is moving.
And just like our kids, we are still growing too.

Different season.
Same strength.

To my volleyball mom family, thank you for the years, the laughter, and especially the hugs. I will carry those with me for a very long time.

And to the other moms in this group who are somewhere in the middle of busy weekends, growing kids, and a body that is changing right along with this stage of life… I see you.

This season is tender, powerful, and fleeting all at the same time. Hold the hugs a little longer.❤️

02/04/2026

My why is me.

I want to be the healthiest, strongest, most joyful version of myself… for myself first.

And also for the people I love.

For my girls, who are growing up right behind me. I want them to understand their bodies before confusion and exhaustion ever take over.

For my son, so he has a mom who is present, calm, and full of life.

For my husband, who deserves the best version of his wife, not the depleted, running-on-empty version.

For my friends, my sisters, my parents, my in-laws, and the women around me.

And one day, for the grandbabies I hope to chase, lift high in the air, and twirl around the yard.

But my why also includes you.

I keep learning, studying, and growing every single day so I can show up as the practitioner you deserve. When I become a better version of myself, I can help you do the same.

A client messaged me the other morning:

“Morning!! I just read your email as I happen to be sitting at my desk drinking my (wine) glass of WithinUs collagen. Your message made me smile! Thank you for all that you do! See you in March!”

Those are the moments that fill my cup.
