Note it was taken at a different location - the accommodation at the upcoming Mt Hutt Retreat is much more basic, which is reflected in the price.

Hormonal balance is a focus for many women of all ages - through the menstrual years and heading into menopause.

Keeping hormones happy and balanced is a process reliant on a solid base of nutrition and healthy lifestyle - sleep, exercise, sleep etc.

Sometimes though, women are doing all the good things and still need further support. That support can come in the form of HRT, but for those who would like to go natural, Maca could be a great option.

Therapeutic benefits of Maca include hormone modulation, adaptogen (helping the body respond to stress), brain health, memory and more.

There are fascinating studies showing that taking a certain dose of quality Maca can be just as effective at relieving hormonal troubles as HRT, without side effects.

But there are several types of Maca, which have different therapeutic effects. For this reason, choosing to take Maca in supplemental form chosen for you specifically rather than guessing with powders which may or may not make much of a difference, especially if using to treat hormonal imbalances may be the best approach.

Some women choose HRT to help with bone health and cholesterol etc as well as hormonal issues, studies show that Maca shows significant benefit across the board including significant increase in bone density. Maca also helps us absorb certain minerals, it can also help improve areas like hair, skin and nails.

Correct dosing and timing of taking Maca has the potential to make a great difference naturally for women who would like to aid hormonal balance and reduce some effects of lowering hormones through menopause.

Yoga, Massage and Natural Medicine

I began my journey into Natural Health in 2008 after a nasty bout of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I learnt of the effects of my years of a diet and lifestyle that were harming me. It was a long road during which I discovered how good it is possible to feel. My motivation stemmed from that feeling. During my travels in Latin America I was inspired by an amazing lady who lead me to my path of Yoga and Massage, and I immediately knew that it was right for me. I have always loved teaching, and after years of teaching snowboarding I was ready to take that passion into health. Learning more about physiology made me realize how much more there is to learn and I am now committed to my Advanced Diploma in Health Science to become a Naturopath. By the end of 2020 I will have hopefully gained the knowledge, experience and qualifications to be able to do what I dream of; to help people heal, mind, body and soul. Sounds cheesy but it truly comes from the heart.
