✨It’s not decline- It’s transformation✨

The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a woman’s life unfolds in sacred 7-year cycles, each one marking a shift in energy, purpose, and power 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

These changes come with challenges, but they’re not signs of failure or decline. They’re invitations to embrace change and evolve 🦋

Whether you’re navigating the first years of your menstrual cycle, trying to conceive, stepping into the menopause, or trying to rediscover yourself beyond it all- your body is speaking the language of cycles.

…… Just like the earth transitions through the seasons 🌸☀️🌻🍁🍂❄️🌨️

Chinese Medicine is rooted in innate wisdom that knows not to fight these changes. It works with them, honouring each stage and recognising the need for support and balance ⚖️

The best part? We can do this naturally- with acupuncture, herbs and nutrition + lifestyle guidance.

➡️ Are you struggling to navigate or welcome these changes? Do you need help when it comes to finding balance and harmony? Please reach out- you don’t have to work it all out on your own

… This is exactly what I’m here for 💕

If I could tell anyone that’s considering fertility treatment anything, it would be THIS:

What you do BEFORE you start an IVF cycle is just as important- if not more- than what you do during it.

I know, I get it... when you’re ready to call in a baby and have decided to get IVF/IUI treatment in motion, waiting even just one more month to get started can feel unbearable.
But- rushing into IVF without preparing your body is like planting seeds in depleted soil.
🌱
It doesn’t mean you won’t see the sprouts start to grow, but your chances of healthy,strong growth that lasts could be reduced.

You may not realise this, but the s***m and the eggs that are retrieved and used in your IVF cycle actually began maturing 3 months ago. 📆

✨That means that whatever has been going on during that time, your diet, the things you’re putting into your body and exposing your body to- all influence the development of your eggs and his swimmers. ✨

And yes, lifestyle factors like your stress levels, quality of sleep, and excessive workload play a big role here too...

All of these things combined influence things like:
🥚 Egg quality
⚖️ Hormonal balance
🩸 Uterine lining health
🏠 Embryo implantation

and.... your emotional resilience throughout the process.

➡️This is why I encourage the women that I work with in my holistic fertility clinic to SLOW DOWN in order to SPEED UP!

Even just 8-12 weeks of targeted prep with expert guidance and support can make a huge difference to the outcome and to your experience- this is as much about YOU as it is your future baby. I know from my 25+ years of clinical experience that the women that feel prepared and emotionally and physically supported, have the best outcomes when they undergo IVF.

The crazy thing is that so many couples are investing thousands of $$$$ into IVF- but they skip the steps that provide the foundational support the body needs and deserves.

It’s about giving yourself the best possible chance of success, by preparing with intention 🫶🏼

I know the pressure is on... but you are NOT wasting time by preparing. You’re investing in the outcome.

➡️ Just drop the word ‘PREPARE’ below to explore the ways that we can do this, together 💕

Feeling depleted, foggy, struggling with heavy periods, or trying to get pregnant...?

➡️ No matter what stage of life you’re at, in Traditional Chinese Medicine high value is placed on foods that support and nourish the blood when it comes to women’s nutrition.

🩸✨Blood is life!✨🩸

It nourishes the body, supports hormone balance, and plays a vital role in reproductive health.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine we put a lot of emphasis on foods and how they work with (or against) the body.

When it comes to women’s health this is especially true because our blood needs to be strong and able to effectively replenish, to support the monthly cycle, fertility and pregnancy. 🌸

I have decades of experience working with women at all stages of life, and I know that incorporating the right foods is often the missing piece when it comes to improving health, vitality and overall wellbeing
Different bodies have different requirements, and it can be tricky to know what you should be putting on your plate in order to feel better… food is not just about calories and fuel, especially when it comes to maximising fertility and supporting the menstrual cycle.

You may not FEEL stressed but your body is one step ahead of you...!

It's not always the big stuff that's stressing you out... but all those sneaky, everyday things that we're exposed to constantly.

🚩 Chronic high cortisol can impact hormones, your metabolism, memory, digestion and sleep over time. It can literally rewire your brain to anticipate stress, even when there's nothing to be stressed about.

You should to be especially aware of trying to reduce cortisol and lower your stress response if you're:

🤰Trying to conceive or preparing for a baby

📆 Experiencing irregular menstruation or cycle disruption

🧬 Knowingly or potentially living with an MTHFR mutation, which means your body struggles to clear away toxins and stress chemicals

🥱 Struggling with chronic fatigue issues or adrenal dysfunction

The solution to chronic stress...? No, it's not 'just get rid of stress'. 🙄
If only it was that easy. Plus, certain types of stress are necessary for survival and keep us alert, safe and awake.

The good news is that half the battle is just being AWARE of these things, so that you can start to make small, simple shifts that your nervous system will thank you for.

Stress is a tricky thing to navigate when you’re trying to conceive... 😵‍💫

Often the stress that comes with tracking cycles, tuning in to every little possible pregnancy symptom, and having well-meaning friends and family suggest that you ‘just relax’ only adds to it!

It’s easy to get caught in a stress cycle, and this is where having tailor-made, individual support really comes into its own 💗
