Gut health, metabolic support & healthy aging. Natural science-backed care to Help You Thrive at Every Stage of Life.

Helping to take back control of your health. A degree qualified Naturopath & Metabolic Balance Practitioner. I am an Australian living in New Zealand that is passionate about empowering individuals to take control of their health, to be able to live the best lives possible. I have been through my own ups and downs with the hormonal rollercoaster of perimenopause and gut issues, which makes me more driven to help improve the quality of our lives, holistically.

The Australian Bush can be so beautiful. Really loved a brisk walk around the lake in the Sunshine, breathing fresh air and listening to the sounds of nature. Great for start to the day, to make me feel more energised and enthusiastic for the day ahead. 🤸

Such a beautiful day yesterday, walking around Mt Maunganui in the sunshine. Getting plenty of Vitamin D and exercise.

Myth vs Fact: Gut Health in Menopause

🚫 Myth: Digestive issues like bloating, constipation, or food sensitivities are just a normal part of menopause—and you just have to put up with them.

✅ Fact: While hormonal changes (like lower estrogen and progesterone) can affect digestion, you don’t have to accept feeling uncomfortable.

With the right nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and gut support, many women experience better energy, improved digestion, and even easier weight balance during menopause.

💡 Your gut plays a vital role in hormone health, mood, and inflammation. Looking after it can make all the difference in this stage of life.

Overcoming Nerves to Make a Difference ✨
Standing up in front of an audience has never been easy for me. My heart races, my anxiety increases, and I wonder if I’ll get the words out right.

But then I remember why I’m there – to share how naturopathy and gut health can change lives. 💚

Because when people understand the link between their digestion, hormones, energy, mood, and overall wellbeing – everything shifts. Suddenly, bloating, fatigue, brain fog, or stubborn weight don’t feel like random struggles anymore. They make sense. And when things make sense, people feel empowered to take action, and I am all about empowering people to take control of their health!

Every time I push through my nerves, I see lightbulb moments in the audience. I watch people nod with recognition, and even whisper “that’s me.”
Those moments remind me: it’s not about being a perfect speaker, it’s about helping others discover a new path to achieve a sense of wellness. 🌱

If even one person leaves feeling hopeful and ready to take the first step towards balance and vitality, then every extra heart beat and nervous breath was worth it.

👉 Have you ever stepped outside your comfort zone to help others?

Your Gut–Brain Connection: Why Your Microbiome Matters

Did you know your gut is home to trillions of microbes that directly influence your mood, focus, sleep, and even resilience to stress? 🧠✨

When your microbiome is thriving, it produces messengers such as serotonin and GABA) that keep your mind calm and clear. But when it’s out of balance, you may feel it as anxiety, brain fog, or poor sleep.

That’s why I’m so passionate about sharing how nurturing your gut can transform the way you think, feel, and show up in daily life.

💡 In my upcoming talk, I’ll be unpacking:
✔️ How the microbiome influences your brain and mood
✔️ Everyday foods & habits that either help or harm your microbes
✔️ Simple strategies to bring your gut–brain orchestra back into harmony

At Kim Kay Wellness, I support women with practical, science-backed, and holistic tools to restore balance — so you can move from feeling stuck to feeling vibrant, focused, and empowered. 🌿

✨ Because when your microbes are in tune, your mind can flourish.
👉 Below are the details on the talk that I am involved in — you won’t want to miss this one!

Lately, I’ve really noticed a shift in my mental clarity — and it’s not by chance.

It’s the small, consistent choices I’ve been making for myself: nourishing my body with the right foods, supporting my brain with quality Omega-3s, and taking time to nourish myself with lifestyle habits that truly recharge me, like walking on the beach, hiking or enjoying a good meal with family and friends.

I used to feel foggy and scattered, but now I catch myself thinking with more focus and calm. It’s so amazing to feel clearer when you give your mind and body what they actually need.

Your mental clarity really is something you can support daily through the food you eat, the supplements you take, and the way you care for yourself.

If you’re craving more energy, focus, and calm, maybe it’s time to start with the foundations. Your brain will thank you.

Did you know your gut and brain are in constant conversation?

The “butterflies in your stomach” feeling? Or the way stress can tie your belly in knots? That’s the gut-brain connection at work—thanks in large part to the Vagus nerve, a superhighway of communication that links your digestive system to your brain.

When the Vagus nerve is calm and toned, digestion flows more smoothly, moods are steadier, and your body feels less on guard. But when stress overwhelms it, signals get scrambled—leading to things like bloating, brain fog, low mood, or anxious thoughts.

✨ The good news? You can nurture your Vagus nerve! ✨

Here a few ways to do this?

Deep breathing (long exhales especially)
Singing, humming, or chanting
Cold exposure (a splash of cold water on your face)
Laughter & connection with others

Your gut isn’t just about food—it’s part of your emotional and mental wellbeing, too. 🌿

💬 Curious: Which vagus-nerve-soothing practice do you enjoy most?

Missing my younger self… but finding a wiser me.

Some days… I notice my energy isn’t quite what it used to be. I remember the younger me—up early in the morning and going full speed ahead until falling into bed at night—and I miss her.

But I’m learning something beautiful: my energy hasn’t disappeared, it’s simply changed. Now, it’s deeper, calmer, more focused on what truly matters. I take the time to nourish myself, move in ways that feel good, and appreciate those quiet moments.

Maybe getting older isn’t about losing energy—it’s about gaining wisdom on how to use it well. ✨

How has your energy shifted over the years, and what fills your cup now?

What Is SIBO — and Why Is It So Often Missed?

Ever feel bloated no matter what you eat?

Struggle with gas, constipation, or loose stools — and never get clear answers?

SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) might be the hidden culprit.

👉 SIBO happens when excessive bacteria occurs in the small intestine.

They ferment foods (especially carbs) too early, causing uncomfortable symptoms like:
✔️ Bloating (often within 30–60 minutes of eating)
✔️ Excess gas or belching
✔️ Diarrhea, constipation — or both
✔️ Nutrient deficiencies
✔️ Food intolerances
✔️ Fatigue, brain fog, even skin issues
🔬 The tricky part? It’s often misdiagnosed as IBS.

But with proper testing (like a simple breath test), and a targeted treatment plan, relief is possible — and long-term gut healing begins.

At Kim Kay Wellness, I help you uncover what’s really going on in your gut — and guide you back to feeling clear, calm, and well.

💬 If your gut symptoms aren't getting better, it’s time to stop guessing.

📩 Send me a message or comment “SIBO” below and I’ll share more about testing and support.
