Given the right conditions, the body can heal itself."It's the physicians duty to activate & reactivate the body's healing mechanism" Dr. Max Gerson M.D. Naturopathy is a form of complimentary medicine using tools such as Diet/Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, Homeopathy, Essential oils and simple lifestyle

changes. The key point of Naturopathy and Herbal Medicine is to get to the root cause of illness and bring the body back into balance, not just treating the symptoms. Using detailed case taking skills, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnostics & Ayurvedic Constitutions, we can get a deeper understanding of what exactly is going on in the body. Working together, using plant based medicines, nutrition, lifestyle changes and mindfulness we can bring the body back to a place of balance. A place of health. "It is more important to know what type of person has a disease than to know what type of disease a person has" - Hippocrates.

All jokes aside, wear sunscreen. I was only out in it for maybe 40mins in the late afternoon and early this morning. My Irish skin needs time to adjust.

Last retreat for the foreseeable. Next Saturday 30th May. Don’t worry we will be back but dates and locations are to be confirmed. But for now, this will be our last one day retreat experience for a while. If you’ve been curious about our days, now’s the time to lean in. 💜

The trigger and the activator are not always the same person.

When someone sets you off: a tone of voice, a dismissal, a silence, it’s worth asking: where have I felt this before?

Because most of the time, the person in front of you isn’t the original author of that wound. They just found the door that was already there.

That doesn’t let them off the hook. Their actions were real. The impact was real. But it does mean you’re often not just reacting to them, you’re reacting to every version of this moment you’ve lived before.

That’s an unhealed place asking to be witnessed. That’s a need wanting to be met. 💜

The managing. The holding. The showing up perfectly for everyone else while quietly running on nothing.

You don’t need another thing to optimise.

You need a day where nobody needs anything from you.

Where you don’t have to be funny or capable or fine.

Where you can say f*ck and mean it, and feel safe doing it.

That’s what the retreat is.

No performance. No roles. Just you, finding yourself again in a room full of women doing the same thing.

Babe is home. And we’re celebrating each other. Home is a feeling not a place. 💜💜💜

Patriarchy in the medical system. How wide the gender gap is goes deeper than you realise. Until 2016, researchers weren’t required to include female cells in the foundational studies that inform every drug, every dose, every treatment protocol.

Not clinical trials. The actual science underneath it all.
Before that, female hormones were treated as too complicated. Too messy. Too much of a variable. So they just left us out.

And we’ve been living in that gap ever since.
Women experience adverse drug reactions almost twice as often as men. Because most drug doses were calculated on a male body and we’re just given the same amount.

We’re 50% more likely to be misdiagnosed after a heart attack. Because the research model for what a heart attack looks like? Built on a man.

There are thousands of drugs still in use today that have never been tested for how they behave differently in a female body.

So when your symptoms get dismissed. When your pain gets minimised. When you’re handed an anxiety diagnosis instead of an answer.
It’s not in your head.
It’s in the data.
Or more accurately, the complete lack of it.

Second puberty is real. Nobody warns you that your late 30s and 40s are going to feel like being 15 again except this time you’ve got a mortgage, a therapist, and absolutely no tolerance for anyone’s bullsh*t.
The hormonal chaos. The rage from nowhere. The version of yourself that’s emerging and frankly doesn’t have time for anything that doesn’t feel real anymore.
That’s exactly what we’re getting into at the Women’s Wellness Retreat on May 30th at Mad Yolk Farm, Galway.
A full day to stop. Reset your nervous system. Be in a room full of women who get it. No toxic positivity. No beige wellness vibes. Just honest conversation, proper tools, and space to actually breathe.

If you read that and felt personally attacked, welcome to the world of Millenopause or Peri-preppers 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

We don’t talk about this stuff enough. The hormonal chaos, the rage that comes from nowhere, the version of yourself that’s emerging and frankly doesn’t have time for anything that doesn’t feel real anymore.
That’s exactly what we’re getting into at the Women’s Wellness Retreat May 30th, Mad Yolk Farm, Galway.
A full day to actually stop. Reset your nervous system. Be in a room full of women who get it. No toxic positivity. No beige wellness vibes. Just honest conversation, proper tools, and space to breathe.

When you allow yourself to feel the whole spectrum of emotions, you allow yourself to move through them. And ultimately, one random day in May, cut the ropes you’ve kept yourself bound to.
Happy Friday. Much Love ❤️

The luteal phase doesn’t lie.
It strips back the coping mechanisms, the productivity armour, the I’m fine and whatever’s underneath gets louder. The inner critic. The exhaustion. The same spiral you swore you’d dealt with.

Your body is trying to tell you something. The question is whether you’re in a position to actually listen.
If you’re ready to stop managing your symptoms and start understanding them I have a Women’s Wellness Retreat coming up at Mad Yolk Farm on May 30th. A full day to slow down, regulate your nervous system, and not have to be anything for anyone 💜
