Things I hear all the time:

'It's probably just because I'm getting old'

'Poor sleep is normal for me'

'I've been exhausted for years there's probably nothing we can do'

'My brain fog is just normal'

'My mum and sister also have really painful periods so it's just genetic'

BUT what if it's not normal?? What if it's not due to age or genetics??

What if understanding your body could help you make sense of the WHY behind what is happening and allow you to make changes for the better?

You don't have to accept feeling like crap as your normal.

Join four health professionals at the Women's Hormone Summit to hash it all out - to find clarity, answers and guidance towards feeling good again.

I am a self confessed physiology geek. I love to understand how things work in the body - my gosh the body is fascinating! What an incredible design.

When things go awry with myself or my patients, I enjoy the detective work in figuring out WHY.

We have loads of different hormones in our bodies, which have loads of different effects all throughout the body. IT IS FASCINATING!

The Women's Hormone Summit is a conversation about all things hormonal. It may be that you have had hormonal wobbles and want help navigating this - or maybe you are just interested to learn about this system that has such an impact on life.

Either way, the discussions at the Women's Hormone Summit are guaranteed to be insightful. It's not often that we can hear from experts in four different modalities, in a way that joins the dots so perfectly.

We will discuss hormones across the lifespan - from puberty to menopause and everything in between. We will discuss conventional medicine, diet, lifestyle, supplemental and therapeutic medicine.

has many answers... some are spot on, some are miles off. Some make sense, many completely contradict themselves.

I often hear from women who have been going round in circles trying to sort their hormonal issues - things from heavy painful periods to night sweats and insomnia.

Sometimes what we need to do is confusing, sometimes we know what we need to do and it's all too much. When the energy is low, making changes is difficult.

So what if you were part of a conversation that made everything a bit more clear??

What if you had some 'aha' moments where for once you really understand WHY you have been feeling off?

What if you were able to put in place some manageable strategies that finally helped you feel better - not because you are looking to treat the symptoms, but because you can now treat the cause.

Join the conversation - Women's Hormone Summit. 4 Experts, one evening of inspiration.

For many admirable reasons, often women take care of everyone else (including work, animals and housework) before themselves.

Sometimes self-care gets pushed so far down that health takes a toll...

It might start with a few mild symptoms which are ignored, and carrying on pushing through not wanting to complain or feeling like 'I can't stop or nothing will get done'.

If our own tank becomes empty to the point where our health is compromised, we can't be the best Mum, wife, sister or friend.. we can't do our job to the best of our ability, and we don't have the energy and motivation to enjoy life and do what we love.

Taking care of your own health isn't selfish. It's essential.

We will discuss self care among other topics at the Women's Hormone Summit happening in Ashburton Friday September 11th. For more info:

Hi all, this week is our last week of term classes.

I will teach a casual class still on Monday July 6th but Tuesday and Thursday that week will be off.

Then I'm away for a couple of weeks, so Term 3 Yoga will resume the week of MONDAY JULY 27. It will be a 9 week term, so for those who want to do the whole term just $135 please. Of course coming casual for $20 still an option.

For a while Thursday classes have been super quiet, and need at least 6 people committing for the term, so if you plan on it please contact me this week to let me know, if not will have to pop a hold on that class.

If you are a regular on Mondays or Tuesdays, nothing you need to do. If you want to come along for the first time or if you would like me to still run the Thursday 9:15am Yoga in Methven let me know.

That's all for now, see you in class! Any questions fire away 🙂
