With so much information out there, it can be confusing about what hormonal balance actually means. Here’s some common hormone myths:

1. The pill regulates your hormones: The pill actually suppresses your body’s natural hormones and replaces them with synthetic versions.

2. Hormones themselves are to blame: Your hormones are not the sole cause of imbalances or symptoms and instead are responding to other factors such as stress, inflammation and nutrient deficiencies.

3. Hormonal imbalances exist in isolation: Your hormones work together like a finely tuned orchestra, so if one is out of balance, the others tend to follow. That’s why a whole person approach is best to manage these.

Why not book in for a chat or appointment to see how we can help you find your balance ✨

It’s been more than a hot minute since I last posted on social media!

While my social media content has been lacking, life certainly hasn’t. Here’s a snapshot of the things that have been happening at Balance ❤️

It has been heartwarming to support so many new clients and helping them achieve their health goals, and celebrating all the wins along the way. Every single client inspires me to learn more so that I can ensure that they are getting the most up to date information regarding their specific health concerns.

Several months ago I had an opportunity to work in Samoa to provide healthcare to children and young people in schools. From screening and health checks, to providing education and health promotion, it was an incredible experience to also support a local school and community to enhance the wellbeing of their students.

Back in New Zealand, I’ve also had the privilege to present to several organisations who are dedicated to improving Women’s Health in the workplace. Thanks to those organisations for inviting me to chat about all things hormones and Women’s Health!

It is so important that while I support women finding their balance and enhancing their health and wellbeing, I also practice what I preach. Prioritising myself, my family, as well as running a small business, I have recently found myself saying no to things that aren’t aligned to my values or what I’m truly passionate about. I’m so excited about what will come from this and I’ve already opened up additional clinic appointments for those that have been patiently waiting.

Watch this space… more exciting things coming soon x

Reflecting on the year that has been is something most of us will do at some point over the next few days or weeks. Whether you are someone that journals, or internally reflects on the past year, here are a few prompts to guide you ✨

We often have this perception that we need to “start over” however take a moment and acknowledge the progress you’ve made and how you are committed to being the best version of yourself.

I hope these highlight some of the incredible things that you have achieved over the year, what you can move on from, and what you need to bring into 2025 to make it as fabulous as possible 💕

I truly hope 2025 is the year that you can be your authentic self, own your health goals, and do the things that bring you joy ❤️

One of the cornerstones of our wellbeing is sleep. Not enough quality sleep can really play havoc on so many of our other body systems, such as our hormones, mental health, blood sugar and energy levels.

This time of year I always find my sleep patterns are all over the show. Going to bed late, being overstimulated by lots of social activities, and then the weather being just far too hot.

Here’s some handy tips that can help you manage sleep over the holidays so that you can feel your best and enjoy what the season brings ☀️💕

Menstruation is often referred to as the fifth vital sign and is an excellent indicator of overall health.

🌱 Regular ovulatory menstrual cycles play a bigger role in our health than we may be aware of. Aside from fertility and pregnancy, regular ovulation is important for maintaining hormonal balance, supporting bone and cardiovascular health as well as mental wellbeing.

🌱 Besides hormonal contraceptives, there are so many other options to help manage your periods, as well as restoring optimal wellbeing.

If you are concerned about the health of your period, get in touch! You can get better periods with the help of specialised and individualised support. Get the care you deserve… because you matter ❤️

I seem to be having this conversation a lot recently! So many women I see in clinic report a “low libido” and want to talk about options for management. I thought I would share some of the common themes I have been discussing and why libido isn’t always what you think it may be.

✨ Libido is so multifactorial and isn’t just about s3x. It is about how you feel in your body, your relationship, and in life.

✨ Expectations and assumptions of what are “normal” play a massive part of how we view what we “should” be doing or feeling. Comparing yourself to others, including your partners libido can be detrimental to your overall libido and can squash any desire.

✨ Hormones (especially testosterone) aren’t always to blame.

✨ Cortisol however, does play a big role in response, desire and the need to feel safe.

✨Connection is so important and it starts with the connection with yourself.

✨ Low libido isn’t your fault and you are not to blame – you are an individual that deserves to be celebrated.

Let’s keep the discussion going so that we can openly talk about rediscovering the lust for life and what that looks like for you 💛

When was the last time a Health Practitioner addressed all of things concerning you rather than focusing on a single symptom? With a lot of confusion about what women’s health actually is, it’s time to work on all of you.

Women’s health is about addressing the full spectrum of our wellbeing - from preventative health care, to getting to the root cause of your symptoms and health concerns - the reason for your symptoms may not be what you think is causing it!

When it comes to making informed choice around your health and wellbeing, we take the time to educate and empower you that supports you with your goals and enhances your overall quality of life.

We care for all of you ♥️

After the week off enjoying the school holidays, it was so nice to walk back into my beautiful clinic space. I’m still obsessed with this room and how relaxed and calm it feels. It really is the perfect space to be fully present for my clients and for them to feel as comfortable as possible during our consults 😍

Today is World Contraception Day and the theme for this year is “A choice for all. Freedom to plan, power to choose”.
With 52% of all pregnancies in New Zealand being reported as unintended, we respect and uphold every woman’s right to plan a pregnancy, and the freedom to choose what contraceptive method is best suited to them. From long acting reversible contraceptives (such as an IUD or implants), to pills, condoms, and natural fertility, we are committed to giving you all the information you need to make a truly informed choice.
There are so many myths out there about contraception, how they work, their efficacy, and potential side effects. As experts in reproductive healthcare, we are here to give you the most up to date evidence based information so that you can make the best choice for you.
If you are thinking about contraception, wanting to review the contraception you are currently taking, or just want to know more, get in touch!

A whole week dedicated to women’s health. A week to share, educate, encourage and empower wāhine to have brave conversations, prioritise health and focus on preventative & proactive healthcare.
We know as women we tend to put our own needs last so let’s flip the script and collaborate together to start having those important conversations over coffee with friends, while chasing our little ones around the playground and in the lunch room at work. We all share so many similar experiences when it comes to women’s health, the only problem is we don’t talk about them enough! When was the last time you checked in on yourself, your Mum, your sister, your partner, your colleagues? Your health matters and we are here to help you!
