Dear Friends,
I battled for a long time wondering if I should share this journey with you in such a public space. It came down to the responsibility I feel to share my story for other women who need help.
For 10yrs I’ve struggled with insurmountable fatigue, pain & nausea. Trying to remain a positive person & hide the pain has been a very long road. These last 10yrs have included many tests, doctors visits, scans, etc. A doctor told me it was simply something you deal with as a woman & I gave up entirely, trying to function through the pain. I didn’t find answers until a friend Leslie Mosier helped set me on a path of regaining my life. I decided to undergo surgery for endometriosis. Going in for surgery was scary but I knew I couldn’t live like I was. Every part of my life was getting torn apart because of the pain. To cut a long story short, they found 37 lesions, some very deep & difficult to remove, & a chocolate cyst. Seckin’s first words to me when I was in recovery were, “How did you live with this much pain?” Validation for years of pain is indescribable. My family & friends who have been on this journey with me for 10+ yrs - THANK YOU, for encouraging me to find answers when I thought I’d never climb out. Thank you to the doctors & nurses who believed my pain. I’m on the road to recovery & the gratitude I feel is overwhelming. To those questioning the cancelled plans, unanswered messages & absence - I had been pouring every ounce of the energy I had left into our daughter & family.
Things may look fine on the outside looking in through the window of someone’s life, however, that is not always the case. Please be gentle & pause before asking me (or any woman) when we’ll be having more children. After all that my body has gone through, I feel tremendously grateful that we have our gorgeous daughter. She feels like our family’s miracle.
I’m aware of millions of women struggling with a similar story. There’s stigma around this awful disease. I’m sharing my story for anyone who reads this & is quietly dealing with pain & no answers. Let this be your validation that your pain is real & you deserve help. Keep searching for answers. www.endofound.org

PERIOD PAIN IS NOT NORMAL!

Period pain is one of the most common symptoms of , but depression & digestive issues are also extremely common, and can be as debilitating in and of themselves as the endometriosis.

Common digestive issues can include: bloating, IBS-like symptoms, such as diarrhoea, constipation, increased frequency and urgency, in addition to pain during bowel movements and blood in stools.

As a practitioner highly versed in Endometriosis, Michelle works extensively on improving gut health as part of her treatment protocols for Endo, as experience (an now science!) has shown that improving gut health can have a major impact on improving mood, reducing digestive symptoms, and reducing symptoms of as a result of reducing systemic inflammation.

If you, or someone you love, is experiencing symptoms of Endometriosis, or has been diagnosed with Endo, but is still having difficulties with day to day life, due to pain, mood disturbances etc, book an appointment today, and see how Michelle can be of benefit.

Mention depression and gut issues and many women with endometriosis will start nodding furiously. Now, scientists have discovered a genetic link between the three conditions.

Endometriosis is an insidious disease that can occur in women of all ages, and should not be dismissed just because of age!
If your doctor does not listen to you, and refer you for further investigations, report them to the AMA (medical gaslighting) and seek a second or even third opinion.
For many women with Endo, a multi-disciplinary team approach to disease and pain management can be most effective.
If Endo is affecting your quality of life, make an appointment today to see how Naturopathic support can help you.

Ella is bleeding today, as she has been every single day since October 13 last year. The 17-year-old has endured years of irregular, heavy and painful periods and there isn't a corner of her life they haven't touched. So why hasn't she been diagnosed with endometriosis?

As many of you know (and for those who don’t), my dad has been fighting cancer for a number of years, amazing his doctors with his fighting spirit (no complementary medicine used here 😉)

As he enters his final few days, I will be spending the majority of mine time with him, so I ask for your patience if I do not answer phone calls, texts or emails as promptly as I would like.
If you do need herbs or supplements, please be sure to order early in case.

Much love,
Michelle x

Disorders related to thyroid function are a common issue in women I see in clinic that are struggling to get pregnant or whom are experiencing recurrent & unexplained miscarriage.

A full thyroid panel, including TSH, T4, T3, Antibodies, and rT3 gives you the most accurate picture of your thyroid is functioning, and is one of the many tests I recommend for women who are undergoing preconception care with me.

For more information, or to book an appointment, please call the clinic on 0414 855 722. Telehealth/phone consults only at this time.

Are you suffering from symptoms of an underactive (hypo) thyroid, but the Doctors say you are ok because you have 'normal' TSH levels?

Nutrient deficiencies can cause the body to not respond properly to Thyroid hormones, DESPITE a normal TSH reading.

A full thyroid panel, including TSH, T4, T3, antibodies, and rT3 gives you the most accurate picture of how your thyroid is functioning. This is one of the many tests I can order for my patients.
