Ever notice you feel off the week before your period?
More anxious, tired, craving sugar, or just not yourself?

This isn’t just “PMS” — it’s your body whispering that it’s depleted.

When nutrients like magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins run low (which happens so often in mothers and women with PCOS), serotonin drops too — and suddenly, everything feels heavier.

Our hormones don’t need us to do more — they need us to listen more.

Instead of pushing through, try slowing down.

Even small rituals — a warm cacao/matcha, an early night, a slower morning — help your nervous system feel safe again. 🍵

These are the little adjustments that make that pre-period dip gentler, not harder.

If you’re feeling this deeply month after month, it might be time to check what’s going on beneath the surface.

I offer functional testing to identify nutrient depletions and hormonal imbalances that could be driving your symptoms.

✨ Save this for your luteal week

Postpartum anxiety looks different for every mama.

It’s not always panic attacks or tears… sometimes it’s hidden in the quiet moments.

💛 Racing thoughts
💛 Overthinking every choice
💛 Feeling on edge when baby naps

If this feels familiar → you are not alone.
And it’s not all in your head.

Your body might simply be depleted and crying out for support.

That’s why nutrients like zinc, magnesium + omega-3s (and sometimes adaptogens) can make such a difference.

And if you want to go deeper → I offer functional testing to uncover hidden depletions and help you restore your health from the inside out.

MOTHERHOOD + HORMONES

We can’t control the wind… but we can adjust the sail.

Motherhood is like this—unpredictable, challenging, and incredible. Just like our hormones.

In my 20s, I was diagnosed with PCOS and told I might never have children. Today, I’m a proud mama of two. But the journey hasn’t been easy—I’ve had to work hard for my health.

After my firstborn, everything shifted. Anxiety, panic attacks, and exhaustion crept in. Through private functional testing, I discovered I was severely depleted in minerals and not absorbing nutrients properly. What I was experiencing was Postpartum Depletion—something rarely spoken about.

After my second baby, new challenges came. I found out I was pre-diabetic—but with the right changes, I reversed it within months.

There were days I felt I didn’t have what it takes. But resilience is born in those moments. With support, testing, and Nutritional Therapy, I uncovered imbalances I never would have seen alone. Slowly, the light returned.

Motherhood transforms you. You birth a new version of yourself each time—and she deserves care, too. When you look after your health, resilience grows not just for you, but for your whole family.

Here, I’ll share real-life motherhood tips, hormone support, and nutrient hacks—simple tools to cut through the noise, reduce overwhelm, and help you (and your family) rebuild health and energy from a place of REST.

And if you’re ready to go deeper, I also offer private testing to help you uncover what’s really going on inside your body.

Our little lady is 3.

We did a mini road trip to Holland.
Enjoyed birthday pancakes with cousins.
A safari trip. Saw Giraffes, Zebras, Lions, Elephants.
A wonderful bike ride in the rural country, cute town, sand, lake + paddle boarding.

Our girl…. a rare flower — delicate yet strong.

Inquisitive by nature but a warrior. The zen warrior. She brings a calm presence that draws us in but when tested that’s when the you see her fierce — protective and brave side.

CASTOR OIL PACKS. No need for a fancy castor oil kit.

Just a small muslin cloth, jar, hire water bottle and towel will do.

I’ve been using castor oil packs for years—and always feel the difference when I’m consistent. Especially around ovulation or when my body feels sluggish or inflamed.

Castor oil supports your liver, lymph, and hormone balance—a small ritual with big impact if you give it time and repetition. Think of it as gentle, daily nourishment from the outside in.

🕯 Try 3x a week, 30 minutes at a time

⚠️ Avoid during pregnancy, menstruation, or breastfeeding

Caring for your hormones doesn’t have to be complicated—just small changes that are consistent.

The DUTCH Complete Test can help us identify what is going on with your hormones.

I have loved doing this test on my clients. The findings are amazing and it’s never the same result for each women.

This test is ideal for those with PCOS, PMS, those wanting a baby or preparing their body for one. It helps us identify what is going on at a cellular level.

Not many people realise that oestrogen travels through three steps before it leaves the body. If the first step is too fast, and the last step (your gut) is sluggish, hormones can build up instead of clearing out. This is where we see the classic symptoms of PMS like irritability, bloating, painful b***s, clots, PMS, or skin flare-ups.

In these cases - i gently slow down that first step using certain herbs, so your body has time to catch up and clear things properly — reducing symptoms like PMS, headaches, or heavy periods.

A lot of this is also driven through cortisol so the test also looks at our adrenal stress.

Drop me a message if you want to know more.

THE DANDELION
To us, just a wildflower gone to seed.

To her, a moment of possibility.
A dream released on the wind.
A reminder of how God made things grow.

The beauty in simplicity.
In the breath.
In remembering that He breathed into us too.

These are the moments—the small, simple ones—that remind us children live closer to the original rhythm we were made for… before we forgot.

At two years old, the prefrontal cortex hasn’t yet learned to say “that’s not real”—which means everything in a two-year-old’s mind is real. And full of wonder.

Maybe she imagined the seeds were tiny angels.
Maybe she said a prayer she can’t yet put into words.
Maybe her whole body felt the excitement of creating wind with her own breath.

Dreams don’t have to be spoken to take flight.
And miracles sometimes begin with a breath.

To my beautiful daughter —
Always remember to find beauty in everything,
And nurture what you have in your hands.
🙏🏼

At cellular level - Nothing works in isolation.

ACV can help with insulin sensitivity and PCOS, but it’s most effective with a balanced diet full of fiber, healthy carbs like sweet potatoes, and nourishing fats. These nutrients together, help stabilise blood sugar and support hormonal health.

A sugar spike after meals is normal, but with insulin resistance, your cells may not absorb sugar properly, causing insulin to overshoot.

If ACV doesn’t help, it could signal the need to support your liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.

If you have PCOS, you may react more to sugar, causing symptoms like fatigue, cravings, and brain fog.

Focus on balanced meals, movement after eating to stabilise insulin and glucose within the blood stream.

We all absorb nutrients differently—my friend saw no change with ACV on a glucose monitor, but I did from using ACV. Bearing in mind I have a history of PCOS.

Blood glucose monitors can help identify what causes spikes for you, as everyone’s response is unique.

I would love to know what been your experience of ACV and Glucose Monitors?

I wanted to share what’s worked for us, along with practical tips, resources, and expert advice to help strengthen kids’ immune systems.
