✨ Ever wonder which days you’re actually most fertile? ✨

Your fertile window is only about 6 days each cycle 🌸 (the 5 days before ovulation plus the day of ovulation itself)

The closer you get to ovulation, the higher the chance of conception. That’s because:
- S***m can survive up to 5 days in the reproductive tract 🏊‍♂️
- The egg only lives for about 12–24 hours after ovulation 🥚

When trying to conceive, I usually suggest aiming for unprotected s*x every other day during your fertile week. Why not every day? Because it gives s***m time to regenerate, keeping both s***m count and quality healthier. This way you balance timing with s***m health.

This is valuable knowledge when you’re trying to conceive 💕. A quick note though - some women also use cycle tracking for contraception. While it can help, it’s not always 100% reliable, so use with caution if your main goal is pregnancy prevention.

🌸 Save this post if you’re learning to track your cycle, and share it with someone on their fertility journey!

Why I do what I do

This photo was taken in the second year of my degree. Only a few weeks earlier, I had been diagnosed with PCOS, on top of navigating deep personal loss and trauma.

I remember feeling exhausted, confused, and dismissed. I had questions no one would answer, symptoms no one seemed to take seriously, and the weight of having to figure it all out on my own.

That experience changed me. It taught me how isolating it feels to be unheard, and how frightening it can be to sit with a diagnosis and no support.

It’s also the reason I show up the way I do today. I don’t just see symptoms - I see the person behind them. I want every patient who walks into my practice to feel that they can express themselves openly, be truly heard, and finally get answers.

Because I’ve been on the other side. And I never want anyone to feel as alone in their health journey as I once did.

We don’t often connect sleep and fertility… but they’re so linked. 😴✨

When your sleep is off, your hormones take a knock - from cortisol to melatonin to the delicate balance that regulates your cycle and ovulation. Over time, this can make conception harder and leave you feeling out of sync with your own body.

Think of sleep as your body’s nightly reset button. It’s not just about feeling rested - it’s about giving your hormones the chance to work the way they’re meant to.

So, how many hours of sleep do you actually get most nights? Drop a number in the comments (no judgment, promise!)

🌸 Hormones + Mental Health 🌸

If you’ve ever felt like your mood takes a dip before your period, or you get anxious when your blood sugar crashes, you’re not imagining it. Your hormones play a huge role in how you feel, think, and cope with stress.

I’ve written a new blog that dives into this hormone–mood connection, and why mental health is about so much more than what’s “in your head.” I also share a few simple steps you can start with right away to support both your body and your mind.

“Wait… homeopaths do physical exams?” 🤔
Yup, in South Africa homeopaths are trained as diagnosticians. That means a proper history, physical exams, and bloods or other tests when they add value.

Why? All this helps us pinpoint what’s really driving your symptoms, personalise treatment to your body, keep things safe, and track progress over time. It also means fewer random supplements, smarter spending, and a clear plan you can stick to 🙌🏻

Natural care, with clinical thinking 🌿👩🏼‍⚕

Perfection isn’t the goal. Feeling a little better, a little more often, is.

Life is real: budgets, long workdays, tiny kitchens, shared spaces, kids, unexpected expenses… all of that affects how many “healthy” choices are doable. And that’s okay.

What matters is the next best choice you can manage today:
• Add an extra veg to supper
• Drink a glass of water before the next coffee
• Take a 10-minute walk between tasks
• Pick the fragrance-free detergent when it’s on special

One better choice a day adds up. Be consistent, not extreme. Do what you can, where you can, with what you have - and let the guilt go 💚

What’s your easy next best choice today?

✨ S***m health is half of the fertility equation ✨

We often focus so much on women’s health when it comes to fertility, but the truth is that male factors play an equal role. Things like diet, stress, sleep, toxins, smoking, alcohol, and even heat exposure (hello laptops on laps 🙈) can all impact s***m count and motility.

If you and your partner are on a fertility journey, it’s empowering to know that both sides matter - and there’s a lot men can do to optimise their s***m health naturally.

👉 Would you like me to share some of the top lifestyle and supplement tips I give my patients for improving s***m health?

🌸Happy Spring Day! 🌸

Spring brings sunshine, blossoms, and fresh energy… but also itchy eyes, runny noses, and sneezing fits for many of us. 🤧

That’s because as plants release pollen, our immune systems can get a bit overprotective - mistaking those tiny particles for harmful invaders. In response, your body releases histamine, which is what causes the classic allergy symptoms: blocked nose, watery eyes, scratchy throat, even fatigue.

It’s your immune system doing its best to protect you - but sometimes it works a little too hard.

The good news? With the right support, your body doesn’t have to struggle through spring.

⚖️ Testosterone in Men: Finding the Right Balance

When testosterone is low, men may notice fatigue, low mood, weight gain, poor sleep, or reduced s*xual health.
When levels are optimal, focus, energy, metabolism, and vitality improve - helping you feel stronger and more resilient.

✨ This highlights male symptoms of testosterone imbalance. Women also need testosterone, but the signs and effects look very different in females.

If you’ve been ticking off some of the symptoms on the left, it may be worth getting your levels checked.

👉 Should I do a separate post on how testosterone imbalance shows up in women?

Might as well just delete the apps… my tolerance for the sound of chewing does the job perfectly 😅🍫

Ladies, who can relate?

☕✨ Did you know your daily coffee habit might be affecting your chances of conceiving?

When I work with women who are trying to conceive, I often take them off coffee completely - but it’s not always as simple as “no coffee = fertility boost.” Different types of coffee and caffeine sources can impact your hormones, ovulation, and even how long it takes to fall pregnant.

The goal isn’t to scare you away from your morning cup, but to empower you with the knowledge to make choices that support your body and your fertility journey.

💡 In this post, I break down how much caffeine is too much, what it does to your hormones, and some alternatives if you still crave that warm morning ritual.

💬 I’d love to hear - have you ever noticed how coffee or caffeine affects your cycle, sleep, or mood?

"I felt better just talking to you" 💬

Ever experienced this? That moment when someone truly listens without judgment can be transformative.

In homeopathy, healing begins the moment you feel heard and understood. It's not just about the remedy in the bottle - it's about the connection, the space to share your story, and feeling genuinely cared for.
This is what makes homeopathic consultations so powerful. Your homeopath doesn't just treat symptoms; they see YOU as a whole person.

Have you experienced that feeling of being truly understood by a healthcare provider? What was that like? 🌟
