If you’re new here, I’m Caitlin, AuDHD, mum of three, naturopath, nutritionist and someone who has learnt that knowing all the health advice in the world doesn’t necessarily make it any easier to follow.

I’ve been the woman trying to manage chronic symptoms, navigate motherhood, understand my neurodivergent brain and work out why the things that are supposedly good for me sometimes feel completely unachievable.

And that’s a big part of why I do what I do.

I didn’t become a naturopath because I think everyone needs another supplement, a stricter routine or a 27-step protocol.

I became one because I know how powerful it can be to finally feel heard, understand what’s happening in your body and have someone help you find an approach that actually works in your life.

Now, I bring that same philosophy into my work with neurodivergent women.

We talk about hormones, gut health, histamine, chronic symptoms, ADHD, autism, motherhood and all the intersections that don’t always fit neatly into one box.

I’m interested in the person behind the symptoms, not just the list of things we could try.

Because you don’t need another practitioner telling you what you should be doing.

You need support that considers what you currently have capacity to take on right now.

That’s what Unmasked Naturopath is all about.

If that sounds like your kind of space, I’m really glad you’re here. 💜

Tell me, are you an ADHD, autistic or AuDHD woman navigating your own health puzzle?

This was me an hour after my emergency c-section with my 26.6 week old son. No makeup, no styled hair, no AI - just the youthful glow of a very young and naive 19 year old single mother who had no idea how much this experience was about to completely change her life trajectory and help her to grow into the mother/carer/naturopath she is today ❤️

This is me just moments after birthing my second in hospital bed VBAC - the planned homebirth that ended in a transfer after 12 hours of posterior labor (do not recommend).

Also, no makeup, tan, hairstyles or AI - just that pregnancy post-birth glow of a proud mama who just achieved a VBAC with a 4.3kg baby! 💪

And this is also me, the birth of my dreams, at home, surrounded by my incredible village, unmedicated.
No makeup, no hairstyled, just pure raw emotion and joy over having trusted in my bodies ability to birth my baby girl safely, with no medical intervention.

The birth portal 🌀 is wild, it’s raw, it’s beautiful and joyful, and I think it should be celebrated for all of it.

Ever feel like your body has developed a problem with EVERYTHING?

The food you ate yesterday is suddenly a problem.
Your favourite skincare product makes you itch.
You wake up congested, bloated or headachy for seemingly no reason.

And when you're already navigating ADHD, autism, sensory overload or burnout, trying to figure out what's happening can feel like another full-time job.

Histamine might be one piece of the puzzle. But it's rarely helpful to look at it in isolation.

Histamine is involved in normal immune responses, and mast cells communicate with the nervous system. Research suggests that stress and other physiological factors can influence these interactions.

For some people, this may be relevant when exploring fluctuating symptoms.

But here's what I really want you to know:

You don't have to assume everything is histamine. And you don't have to keep cutting foods out indefinitely to try to feel better.

There are other factors worth considering, including sleep, hormonal fluctuations, gut health, nutritional adequacy, medications and your overall symptom pattern.

As a naturopath and an autistic ADHDer myself, I'm interested in understanding these overlapping systems without turning health into another impossible list of things to manage.

Because you deserve an approach that considers the whole picture, respects your neurotype and doesn't leave you afraid of your next meal.

🌿 Want to understand histamine a little better?

I've created a free Histamine Guide to help you explore the basics and take the next step in understanding your symptoms.

Comment HISTAMINE below and I'll send you the details.

I'll also send you the guide via email, so you can keep it handy for later.

For many of us with neurodivergent brains, looking after our health can come with an extra layer of mental load.

Remembering to take supplements. Planning meals. Switching tasks. Managing sensory needs. Trying to build routines when consistency is already difficult.

And that’s before we even factor in work, parenting, chronic health conditions or the general demands of just simply trying to stay alive 🫠

If you’re AuDHD like me, you might know exactly what I mean.

Your health plan should support you, not become another thing you’re struggling to keep up with.

I eat the sugar. I miss the gym. Sometimes I collapse into bed because I’m absolutely fu***ng exhausted.

I’m also a naturopath. 🙃

Life is a LOT, especially when you’re already navigating the mental load, sensory overload and executive functioning challenges that can come with being neurodivergent.

The answer isn’t always another supplement, another habit or another thing to add to your to-do list.

Sometimes it’s about simplifying. Doing less. Working with your capacity instead of constantly fighting against it.

And recognising that looking after your health doesn’t have to look perfect to count. 💜

Solo parenting 3 kids for 3 days and I am DONE 🫠

The mental load, the sensory overload, the short fuse, the mum guilt.

And also… realising I’m actually getting better at noticing when I’m reaching my limit and asking for help.

What’s your biggest sign that you’re officially overstimulated?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.

Not just because of the Lindsay Clancy case, but because of what has come up for me recently around perinatal mental health, masking, motherhood, and the difference between what someone can look like from the outside and what they may actually be experiencing internally.

I want to be really clear that I’m not commenting on Lindsay’s mental state, treatment or what happened in her case. I don’t know her, I wasn’t there, and I don’t think speculation helps anyone, especially with the case ongoing.

But I do think there are some really important conversations we need to be having.

Because neurodivergent women can become incredibly good at looking like they’re coping. We can be functioning, parenting, working, getting everyone where they need to be and still be struggling in ways that nobody around us fully understands.

I know this because I’ve lived it. I’ve experienced perinatal anxiety and postpartum depression, along with intrusive thoughts, fears around my children’s health and safety, and periods where I questioned my own capacity as a mother. From the outside, I probably looked pretty stable. Internally, it wasn’t always the same story.

And that’s the part I really want to talk about. Why women don’t always tell us the whole story, why it matters that we actually listen when they do, and why looking at the whole picture matters so much when we’re supporting women through pregnancy and postpartum.

I’ve written a much longer piece about this for my Unmasked community, including more about masking, neurodivergent mothers, medication, being listened to, and the role that a safe support network can play when things get really challenging.

I’m sending it out tomorrow.

If this has resonated with you, feel free to join.

Popping on during World Breastfeeding Week with a little reminder that feeding journeys can look so different.

For us, it has been a mix of breastfeeding, expressed milk in a bottle, and formula when we’ve needed it.

There is no one “right” way to feed a baby.

If your baby is nourished, growing, and you are supported too, that’s all that matters.

Sending love to all the mums navigating their own feeding journey. 💜
