Hi, I’m Raven, and I’m a naturopath specialising in women’s reproductive and hormonal health.

Why am I so passionate about women’s health?
For all of the reasons listed above.

But, because I have also seen and experienced firsthand the difference in my body that adequate rest, nourishment and consciously saying yes to my body - rather than denying its cyclical feminine nature - has made. I know now, which herbs to choose and which nutrients to reach for when I feel like I need that extra support.

And I have seen the difference for so many women too. Nature provides the blueprint. Our bodies were designed with miraculous precision to be the most highly functioning they can be. Sometimes our bodies just need a gentle nudge in the right direction for a cascade of better health outcomes to occur.

I am passionate about sharing this knowledge with women, and empowering each woman to find the answers to her unique health picture.

If it feels like the right time to begin exploring your health, reach out via my DMs, book a discovery call or initial appointment via the link in bio 🤎

Fermented food is as old as humanity, and beetroot kvass is no exception. Originating from Eastern Europe, it’s a delicious sour beverage adapted from the traditional recipe, which was made with stale bread.

This version, which incorporates the nutritional benefits of beetroot, leaves a light and refreshing taste that will fast become part of your daily health habits. Making your first batch is super easy, and once you have the starter culture, you can continuously make it, again and again. I found it’s easier to make than kombucha, as there’s less variables, such as temperature, amount of sugar, and acidity.

I love practical self-sufficiency, and being able to make your own live probiotics for a fraction of the cost of purchasing - why wouldn’t you? While numbers of live colony forming units (CFU) in home fermentation naturally vary, a standard 20mL shot contains roughly 10-960 billion CFU (50 billion is the target for a therapeutic effect).

In addition to the gut health benefits, beetroot is naturally rich in nitrates, which convert to nitric oxide in the body, and help to promote blood vessel & cardiovascular health. Naturally occurring compounds, betalaines, are also powerful antioxidants which can help to combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation.

🫜 INGREDIENTS
Dozen raw beetroot, roughly chopped
1/4 cabbage, roughly chopped
2 tbs goji berries
1 tbs dried cloves
2 tsp Celtic sea salt
5L spring or filtered water
2tbs start culture (pre-made or bought beetroot kvass)

🫜 METHOD
1. Roughy chop the beetroot and cabbage and add to clean 5L jar, ensuring to layer the cabbage so that it doesn’t float.
2. Add the goji berries, cloves and salt around halfway through filling the jar, so these are weighted down by beetroots too.
3. Once filled, add beetroot kvass starter culture and fill to the brim with spring or filtered water.
4. Store in a cool, dark place such as pantry for 10-14 days, then strain off into bottles.
5. Refrigerate and enjoy a 10-30mL per day for a delicious gut health and cardiovascular tonic.

So, our cycle can get a little complex. If you’re anything like me, you over-analyse every little detail about your cycle, then work like crazy to bring it back into clockwork.

But here’s the hard truth. Periods can be irregular. There’s no one cycle length, number of days, or even flow that we aim for in all individuals. Each woman’s ideal cycle is influenced by genetics, environment, as well as a range of other hormonal factors. The most important things are the basics - a cycle that is regular and relatively symptom-free.

Here are some common myths I hear in clinic all the time that pervade and convince women that their period isn’t “normal”. I’m here to tell you there’s no such thing as “normal” - but there are parameters for hormonal health that we work towards, especially for optimising reproductive outcomes.

Reach out if you have a problem cycle, or just want a general health check to see whether your period is on track 👏🏽

When it comes to self-sufficiency, I love home remedies and using what you have right in front of you. There’s an old saying in herbalism that the best medicine often lies within reach. The medicinal actives in this simple home remedy are garlic, onion and honey - raw ingredients we generally have on hand.

Garlic (Allium sativum) is a traditional remedy for colds and flu. When you crush it, you release allicin, a bioactive compound responsible for many of garlic’s medicinal properties. Once crushed, be sure to leave garlic for at least 10 minutes to allow this enzymatic reaction to occur. The antibacterial activity of garlic is approximately 10 times stronger against pathogenic bacteria than gut flora, meaning that it’s not harmful to your gut health.

Onions are naturally rich in quercetin, a flavonoid which demonstrates strong antiviral properties against upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) in vitro, and antioxidant effects when consumed as a food. Regular consumption of flavonoids, such as quercetin, is associated with reduced incidence of URTIs, and may be an effective intervention to decrease their frequency and duration.

Antimicrobial powerhouse honey has been used to fight infections for centuries, and there is growing evidence for its traditional use. Its soothing properties mean it works wonders for sore throats, and is recommended in guidelines as an acute cough remedy in children over 1 year of age. NB. Avoid use of honey in infants under 12 months of age to avoid the risk of infant botulism.

🍯 Ingredients
½ garlic bulb
1 onion, diced (red or brown - flavonoid content is higher in red)
Raw honey (enough to cover ingredients, ~1 cup)
Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano, elderberry, ginger)

🍯 Method
1. Separate and peel garlic cloves and smash using the flat edge of a knife. Allow to sit for at least 10 minutes to allow release of allicin compounds. Add to jar.
2. Dice onion and add to jar.
3. Prepare any additional fresh or dry herbs and add to jar.
4. Cover ingredients in honey. Let sit for approx. 1 week, shaking jar daily. Strain and enjoy as often as needed.

Nettle (Urticaria doica/Urtica urens) 🍀 aka Nature’s multivitamin is one of my favourite tonic herbs for women.

Growing abundantly as a “weed”in backyards and nature strips, it thrives in fertile soil, usually rich in nitrogen. The magic of Nettle is that it extracts minerals from the soil and concentrates them in its leaves. Vitamins A, B2, C, E, K, as well as magnesium, potassium, selenium, zinc - and perhaps most notably - high amounts of calcium & iron.

All these vitamins & minerals contribute to Nettle’s nutritive properties - replenishing our cells and restoring tired bodies after prolonged periods of stress, exhaustion & burnout.

Perfect for women to replenish the nutrient losses of pregnancy in the post-partum period, as this clever herb is also gentle & safe enough to use during breastfeeding, and supports breast milk production at the same time as replenishing key vitamins and minerals lost during lactation.

It’s also an essential way to rebuild the blood lost after monthly menstrual bleeds, and restore energy & nutrients to women who are anaemic due to heavy periods.

My favourite way to use Nettle is simply an infusion of fresh leaves in boiling water (use gloves when picking to avoid stings). Thank you Marianne from Marianne Roberts ☆ Naturopath for kindly sharing her Nettle harvest with me! This batch will be dried to keep me going over the coming months 🍀🙏🏽

As published in The Lancet last week, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) has undergone an official name change to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS).

This landmark change represents a huge shift for patients being screened for the condition, for whom up to 70% receive a delayed diagnosis due to the absence of pathological ovarian cysts, which are not present in all cases.

Rather, this name change places the emphasis on the hormonal and metabolic profile associated with the condition, and goes some way to reducing some of the harm that comes from delayed diagnosis, inadequate care, and medical stigma.

The global consensus was reached via a structured, multistep process, which involved a huge number of government & professional bodies, as well as survey responses from up to 14,360 individuals with PCOS and multidisciplinary health experts from around the world.

Share this with someone you know who may be experiencing PMOS, and together let’s direct education & resources into better understanding this complex multi-system endocrine & metabolic condition 💪🏽🧡

Let’s talk herbal allies. Each of these bottles contains potent whole plant medicine. That’s hundreds of different phytochemical constituents, working synergistically to bring about a change in the vitality and health of a whole person. Not just a single pharmacological agent, like a pill.

Each client of naturopathy is a candidate for a 1:1, individualised herbal formula that is tailored to their unique health journey & needs. That’s the beautiful thing about prescribing liquid herbs, as opposed to pre-made capsules.

You could be feeling stressed, tired but wired and unable to sleep, and experiencing irregular periods, and we could address all of these needs in a unique herbal formula.

If you’re curious to experience the power of herbal medicine for yourself, DM me to book an appointment. Limited appointments at a student rate remaining

If you’re experiencing periods that are heavy, painful, or just not “normal” for you, know that naturopathy has some effective natural remedies for you 👇🏽

🌼 Reducing estrogen load

When our bodies make insufficient progesterone to oppose estrogen, we may end up with relative estrogen excess, which can exacerbate hormonal issues, including painful periods.

The body will preferentially make cortisol over progesterone via our steroid hormone pathway, so super important to reduce stress & other toxins for healthy hormones!

🌼 Zinc

A 2024 systematic review by Hsu et al. concluded that zinc supplementation is an effective and well tolerated way to reduce period pain severity in women with primary dysmenorrhea. Doses as low as 7mg for 8 weeks demonstrated significant results!

🌼 Vitamin D

Anti-inflammatory effects reduce prostaglandin (PG) synthesis - which mediates pain & inflammation - thus reducing period pain severity. There are so many benefits to safe sun exposure!

🌼 Omega-3

Queen of anti-inflammatory molecules, omega-3, is stellar at reducing systemic inflammation via reduced PG synthesis. Some studies even suggest daily supplementation may be as effective as Ibuprofen for pain relief.

🌼 Herbal medicine

Ginger, curcumin, Wild Yam & Cramp Bark are just a few of the herbs in the naturopathic toolkit for managing painful periods.

Reach out or share if you or someone you know is experiencing painful periods - it doesn't have to be this way. There may be more at play, but utilising some of the therapeutic nutrients & herbs Naturopathy has to offer is a great start to helping your body heal naturally.
