The reason I do what I do...

I’m always conscious of just how privileged I am to be invited into this part of someone’s life 🩵

The journey to creating a family can be incredibly private, vulnerable and emotional, and I never take lightly the trust you place in me when you allow me to walk alongside you through it.

This beautiful couple were so dedicated throughout their journey, and it has been such a privilege to support them along the way.

A very heartfelt congratulations on the creation of your beautiful family. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of something so special.

These are the moments that remind me just how much I love what I do.

This is what it means to receive individualised care.

Creating herbal formulas that are completely individual to the person sitting in front of me.

Here's a little look at a pre-ovulation mix being made in clinic.

There isn’t one standard “fertility blend” I reach for. I have dozens of different herbs available to me, and each one has its own properties, indications and place within a formula.

The herbs I choose, how I combine them and the amounts I use are carefully considered based on your cycle, symptoms, health history and what we’re specifically working towards.

Your pre-ovulation mix might look completely different to the next person’s, even if you’re both trying to conceive.

That’s the beauty of herbal medicine and individualised naturopathic care.

For decades, fat had one of the worst reputations in nutrition.
Low fat, lite, fat free...

It can get confusing!

Many of us grew up believing that eating less fat automatically meant eating healthier.
But science has moved on.

When it comes to women's health, fats play an essential role in everything from hormone production and ovulation to egg quality, fertility, pregnancy and even the absorption of key nutrients.

The important distinction isn't whether you're eating fat; it's WHICH FATS you're eating.

🥑 Monounsaturated fats (olive oil, avocado and nuts) support metabolic and cardiovascular health.
🐟 Omega-3 fats help regulate inflammation and support egg quality, implantation and healthy foetal development.
🥚 Naturally occurring saturated fats from whole foods can absolutely have a place in a balanced diet for most people (e.g butter, ghee, coconut oil)

👀 Trans fats, however, are the ones we want to minimise. Found in foods containing partially hydrogenated oils and many ultra-processed products (think fried foods), they've consistently been linked with poorer cardiometabolic and reproductive health outcomes

Nutrition shouldn’t focus on eliminating an entire nutrient group.
We should all be choosing foods that nourish your body and support the incredible work your hormones are doing every single day.

Fat doesn't need to be feared; it just needs a better PR manager.

The small steps towards health add up 🤍

This years Women’s Health Week, the theme of ‘Do It Anyway’ is such a good reminder that looking after yourself doesn’t have to wait for the perfect time.

You don’t need to wait until work settles down, the kids need you less, your calendar clears or life finally feels organised.

Start small. Start where you are. Do the thing anyway.

In clinic, I always say to my clients: “You wouldn’t do Maccas drive-through every day, eat one beef and broccoli bowl and think you’re healthy.”

It’s the small, meaningful things you do consistently that add up.

A nourishing breakfast. A walk around the block. Going to bed a little earlier. Booking the appointment you’ve been putting off. Taking five minutes for yourself.

Your health doesn’t need perfection. It needs a place in your everyday life.

Sage Naturopathics was never created to support just one moment in a woman’s life 🫶🏼

I want you to think of Sage Naturopathics when you’re trying to understand your hormones.
When you start thinking about having a baby.
When trying to conceive becomes more complicated than you expected.
When you’re navigating fertility treatment.
When you’re pregnant, and your body is changing week by week.

And when your baby arrives and suddenly so much of the attention shifts away from you.

These aren’t separate experiences. They’re all part of a much bigger chapter of your life, and your needs will naturally change as you move through it.

My role is to meet you where you are, understand what’s happening in your body and provide individualised naturopathic support that evolves with you.

From hormones and preconception, through fertility and pregnancy, and into postpartum.

You'll start to see some postpartum posts pop up from time to time here as our new practitioner Isabel is extremely passionate about postpartum.

Sage Naturopathics is here for the whole journey 🤍

Raspberry leaf ❤️
You may know it as the herb women reach for when preparing for birth, but there’s much more to it than that.

Traditionally, raspberry leaf has been used as a uterine tonic, supporting uterine tone and function across different stages of a woman’s reproductive life.

It’s a beautiful example of why I love herbal medicine. A herb isn’t necessarily just for one symptom or one stage of life. How and when we use it depends on the individual, their health, their cycle and what we’re trying to support.

And particularly when it comes to fertility and pregnancy, timing, dosage and whether a herb is appropriate for you really matters.

Herbal medicine is nuanced, and that’s exactly why personalised care is so important.

✨ Meet Isabel Halse, Naturopath ✨

We are so excited to welcome Isabel to the team.
Isabel is a naturopath who supports women through the postpartum period, one of the most profound, transformative, and often overlooked seasons of life.

With experience across private clinical practice, detoxification retreats, apothecary-based care, and naturopathic education, Isabel brings a depth of knowledge alongside a deeply compassionate approach to care.

She also currently teaches and supervises naturopathy students at the National Centre of Naturopathic Medicine at Southern Cross University, helping shape the next generation of practitioners.

As a mother of two daughters, Isabel's own experience of matrescence has profoundly influenced the way she practises. She understands that motherhood is not simply a role we step into, but an ongoing transformation that impacts our bodies, hormones, nervous systems, relationships, and sense of self.

Her approach combines traditional wisdom, contemporary research, and a deep respect for the unique needs of women during the postpartum transition. Whether you're navigating fatigue, recovery, hormonal changes, emotional well-being, or simply trying to find yourself again amidst motherhood, Isabel provides a space where you can feel seen, supported, and cared for.

Please join us in giving Isabel a warm welcome. We are thrilled to have her supporting our community of mothers and families.

When you’re on a fertility journey, it can sometimes feel like you’ve explored every avenue.

You’ve tracked your cycle, taken the supplements, perhaps you’re preparing for IVF, and yet there can still be that lingering question. Am I missing something?

One piece we can explore is the vaginal microbiome.

Our Advanced Fertility Microbiome Assessment goes beyond simply sending off a test. It combines at-home vaginal microbiome testing with a 1:1 consultation, expert interpretation of your results and an individualised plan based on your fertility goals.

Depending on what we find, your recommendations may include nutrition, lifestyle changes, herbal medicine, practitioner-only supplements and additional support where appropriate.

This assessment may be worth considering if you’re navigating unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarriage, preparing for IVF or embryo transfer, or simply wanting to explore another piece of your fertility picture.

Because testing is only useful when we understand what the results mean for you.

*non-identifying results shared with consent

One of the most overlooked parts of IVF preparation is the microbiome.

When we do thorough pre-transfer preparation, testing the vaginal microbiome is one of the most valuable steps we can take, because the environment an embryo is transferred into plays a real role in outcomes.

The vaginal microbiome has a relationship with the endometrial microbiome where the embryo implants.

These results (approx 3 months apart) show what that actually looks like in practice, a significant overgrowth of opportunistic bacteria, elevated pH, and depleted beneficial Lactobacillus species that were identified, addressed, and measurably improved before transfer.

In the BEFORE result:
~ BV Positive
~ Atopobium vaginae over 64x the acceptable range
~ Ureaplasma species 32x elevated
~ Beneficial Lactobacillus critically low

In the AFTER result:
~ BV cleared
~ pH trending back toward optimal
~ Opportunistic bacteria normalised
~ Microbiome balance restored

This kind of testing and preparation isn't always offered as standard, but if you're doing IVF and want to be thorough, this is exactly the kind of work that makes a difference.
