Impacted my career…..

My dad was a huge part of my decision to become a naturopath. He passed away from lung cancer and a brain tumour. He was given 12 months (or close to) to live and was the most positive, optimistic person I knew.

If he could still be here today, I know he would be. The process of being given a death date… is that even a thing? listening to medical jargon, and feeling inferior around medical professionals impacted me deeply….. like who do they think they were….. I’d never heard of a naturopath until my counsellor suggested it. I knew it was for me the moment I found the profession.

I could learn holistic medicine, I could educate patients about their bodies. I could learn medical jargon and share that insight without them feeling inferior (because who wants to feel that feeling, am I right?). I could give them hope and put the reins back in their hands to optimise their health. I could make an impact.

Dad also showed me that life is SO SO sooooo short, he was only 53 when he passed away. Maybe I’m naive, but I feel that nothing in life is that bad, it depends on our perspective. We can choose what we do and how we see life every single day we wake up and take our a breath.

We may not get many years on this earth, but we can absolutely optimise and have fun with the years we have.

Life can be awful and shocking, and we can get handed some really really tough cards, and yes… life is not fair sometimes. But it’s up to us how we choose to live and see each day. I’m not delusional…. Or maybe I am, I know I’ve been through hell and back many times in my life already, but I will always choose to be optimistic until the day I take my last breath.

That’s why I’ll always be your biggest hype woman, your greatest researcher and practitioner who listens and supports you, who will never make you feel inferior, and who may (just maybe) over-explain and educate you a little too much in our sessions and treatment plans.

Because my dad would have done the same.

A very important note to add here….desire, arousal and or**sm shift for all kinds of reasons as you may have read in my previous posts, and these slides won’t be for everyone. If you are asexual and content, that’s is perfectly ok, if your desire has simply changed with a life stage, if medication (like SSRIs or hormonal contraception), pain conditions, thyroid or hormonal issues, depression, or relationship dynamics are at play here, those are very real, valid, and deserve proper care. And if trauma shapes how safe intimacy feels for you, that especially deserves its own trauma-informed support…

This post is for something more specific: the people whose libido, arousal and pleasure have left the building while they’ve been living in chronic stress, running on a nervous system that’s braced, wired and depleted.

In survival mode, desire is one of the first things the body can let go of. That’s rarely because of you as a person or a relationship verdict. It’s your body under a massive load, and it’s exactly what we work on.

If this resonated with you, please know you are not alone and there are always nervine and libido enhancing herbs for you 🌿😉… or maybe, it’s more so about taking off some of those things on your to do list and drop the expectations of yourself a little hey.

After a number of discussions about hormones and our cycle the last couple of weeks, I thought I would do a snippet into the land of our cycle.

Many got “here’s a pad, good luck” at eleven and not much since, yet your hormones shape your energy, your sleep, your mood and your focus… every single day.

So here’s what I want you to know:

Your hormones take orders from your brain, which means your nervous system isn’t separate from your hormonal health, it’s driving it.

Ovulation isn’t just a fertility thing, it’s the only way you make progesterone, your body’s own calming, anti anxiety, deep sleep, mind settling hormone.

If your anxiety spikes the week before your period, if you’re spotting early, if your sleep falls apart premenstrually, that’s a pattern, and can be supported.

What would you like to know next about your hormones?

PMDD is something I talk about and see in clinic regularly, yet I don’t discuss it often here, today is that day as it is a very very important topic.

For some humans, the luteal phase doesn’t just bring low mood, it brings thoughts of not wanting to be here. Dark, heavy, convincing thoughts that lift the moment the bleed comes, like they were never there. If that’s you, please hear this: those thoughts are a symptom. They are your brain reacting to a hormonal shift, not the truth about your life, and not a reflection of who you are.

You don’t have to push through this alone, and you don’t have to live like this. PMDD is real, it’s physiological, and it’s treatable. The weeks that feel unbearable right now can feel completely different with the right support.

If you’re in that dark place today, reach out to someone a person you trust, your GP, or Lifeline on 13 11 14. If the thoughts are urgent, please treat them as urgent and get help now. You are worth that phone call.

And if you’re supporting someone who lives this every month, believe them, stay close in the hard weeks, and remind them who they are when they can’t feel or see or themselves.

You are not broken, you are not too much and there is a very much a path through this. 💛

This beautiful woman is getting my spotlight tonight…coeliac diagnosis since she was a toddler, two decades of gut issues, food fear, and assuming this was just her body and life ahead of her. Five weeks in, her words were: “never felt better and you have changed my life” 😭

Now… such a short time and we have mostly daily bowel motions, energy is back, bloating, pain and distension is down & the fear around food finally dropping.

I held back tears in this one, because she has spent her whole life believing normal was off the table for her… cue me crying again 🥹

We are starting small with the basics and healing that inflammation and gut lining. Doing the right things, in the right order, in a way her life could feel normal. We are not done obviously, but she has proof now that her body can respond and that changes everything.

BOUNDARIES…..The extra capacity you always had to say yes, to absorb, to hold everyone starts running low at some point, and because you’re high-functioning, you don’t notice at first. You just push harder, that’s the trap right…..the more capable you are, the longer you can override the signal, and the more depleted you are by the time you finally listen.

So when boundaries suddenly feel non-negotiable or completely frazzled in perimenopause, please know that’s not you becoming precious, that’s progesterone and oestrogen taking away the shock absorption you never knew you had, that’s why some events, deadlines or situations can feel extremely big, when maybe they are not that big of a deal?

Boundaries are absolutely essential and necessary to prevent burnout, emotional hangovers and heightened anxiety. If you need support with this, please know that you are not alone and we can work through this together.

All my love,

Right, I’m breaking up your feed, with some silly little goose antics, that may or may not be backed by science……because the wellness and influencer culture has got me moody lately, so I wanted to lighten up your day.

And look, I’ll be waiting patiently for you to share with me If your star sign called you out….

All my love,
