Welcome to Bloom Women's Health. Holistic Healthcare for Women at all stages

Welcome to the practice of Dr Glenda McLaren and her team.

We provide caring, experienced Obstetric and Gynaecological services integrated with allied health to support women before, during and after pregnancy to achieve the best possible health outcomes. As modern women, we want more from our healthcare – not just medicine. We want to:

- understand our condition within our overall health,
- access leading specialists,
- access other allied health professionals and alternatives to pharmaceutical and surgery treatments
- know what we can do ourselves. Dr McLaren has assembled a team of caring, experienced professionals who work together to support your total women’s health and wellness needs. From young women, through pregnancy and motherhood, midlife and menopause, Dr McLaren and her team help women to bloom. Our friendly reception team are here to assist you with your appointments, arrangements and administrative enquires. They are always available during clinic hours to answer any of your questions. Our reception team are dedicated to ensuring the practice runs as smoothly as possible. Sometimes due to the nature of Obstetrics delays are inevitable, however, we endeavour to minimise any inconvenience and provide alternative appointment times wherever possible.

Hot flushes? Mood shifts? Sleep all over the place?
Perimenopause and menopause can bring a lot of changes — but you don’t have to navigate them alone.

At Bloom Women’s Health, we offer personalised support for women based on individual health, needs and preferences.

One of the options some women consider during periomenopause is Menopause Hormonal Therapy (MHT) — also known as Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). This treatment can help ease many common symptoms.

Every woman’s experience is different, so our gynaecologists will make sure that you are aware of all your options, including:
✔️ Whether estrogen-only or combination therapy suits you
✔️ The benefits, potential risks and how to minimise them
✔️ Alternatives like acupuncture, mindfulness, or herbal options

You deserve to feel supported, informed and in control of your care.
Ready to explore what’s right for you? Speak with your GP for a referral to discuss your perimenopause symptomse with one of our Bloom gynaecologists.

During colder months, it’s common to feel more tired in pregnancy. Your body is working hard to:
🌡️ Stay warm
👶 Support your baby’s growth
🍲 Meet increased nutritional needs

Colder weather can also affect your energy, sleep and motivation — especially when rest doesn't always come easily.

🌸 If you're expecting this winter:
✔️ Prioritise rest and gentle movement
✔️ Nourish your body with warm, balanced meals
✔️ Reach out to your GP or obstetrician if fatigue feels more than just "normal tired"

Every pregnancy is different — and you're allowed to slow down. We're here to support you with expert, compassionate care through every season. 💗

𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 (𝗣𝗣𝗣) can impact every part of life — yet, many women go years without answers. At Bloom Women’s Health, we understand the complex, frustrating nature of chronic pelvic pain — and we’re here to support you with evidence-based, holistic care.

If you’ve been living with pelvic pain for six months or more, it might be time to look deeper.

PPP can stem from multiple causes - like endometriosis, IBS, painful bladder syndrome, or pelvic floor dysfunction - and in some cases, your nervous system may be amplifying pain signals even without a clear physical trigger.

📖 Read our latest blog to learn about Common causes and symptoms of PPP; Why diagnosis can be complex; Treatment options; What 𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 really means; When to seek help — and what to expect.

This National Diabetes Week, we'd like to talk about gestational diabetes (GDM).

More than 1 in 6 women will develop gestational diabetes (GDM) during pregnancy in Australia — often with no symptoms at all. And while it usually resolves after birth, it can leave lasting effects many women aren’t told about.

🌿 Did you know?
If you’ve had GDM, you will be at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
Making sure that you take part in ongoing screening, lifestyle changes and regular check-ins with your GP can 𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘬 𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺.

That’s why National Diabetes Week is the perfect time to:
✔️ Book your follow-up blood glucose test (even if bub is now a toddler)
✔️ Talk to your GP about long-term prevention
✔️ Understand the signs to watch for — especially if you're planning another pregnancy

At Bloom, we’re here to support your 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘫𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘺 — not just during pregnancy, but well after. Let’s break the silence and start the conversation to improve women's health and wellness.

In your 30s, life can feel full. Between careers, relationships, family and change, it’s easy to let your own health slide down the list of priorities.

Read our latest blog to learn what to prioritise, why it matters, and when a referral to a specialist might be the right next step, in partnership with your GP.
