Practical tip for better sleep 👇

Exposing your eyes and skin to natural sunlight within 30 minutes of waking helps regulate your cortisol rhythm — which directly impacts how well you fall asleep later that night.

This doesn’t mean staring at the sun ☀️
Just step outside or sit near a window for a few minutes (no sunglasses).

Ashwagandha isn’t for everyone.
Yes, it can lower cortisol — which is great if cortisol is high.
But if you’re already burnt out, wired-and-tired, or running on low cortisol, it can actually make things worse.

A heightened nervous system doesn’t just need to be “calmed down” — sometimes it needs to be supported and rebuilt as well.

One herb ≠ one solution 🌿

So how do we know if cortisol is high or low? We test - Functional testing that is!

I get a lot of clients telling me they self-prescribe magnesium, but then say it doesn't make any difference.

Magnesium plays a role in 300+ biochemical reactions in the body, supporting sleep, muscle function, stress response, energy production, and heart health. But different forms are absorbed and used differently.

Here's a basic guide to give some insight in choosing the right form of magnesium.

Taking the wrong form can mean poor absorption, unwanted digestive side effects, or simply not getting the benefit you’re looking for.

The takeaway? Magnesium isn’t one-size-fits-all. Match the form to your goal for better results.

Not all anxiety and stress looks the same - and neither do the herbs. Stress hormones can be high, and they can also be low. We need to work out where that person is at, in order to find the right herbs for them.

Back-to-school isn’t just backpacks and lunchboxes.
It’s the mental checklist that starts weeks before — and never really switches off.

Uniforms. Lunches. Forms. Schedules.
Remembering everything. Anticipating everything. Holding it all together quietly.

That invisible load is heavy.
And it often shows up as brain fog, poor sleep, irritability, or feeling exhausted even after resting.

You’re not failing — your nervous system is overloaded.

Small resets help. Write it down. Let one thing be “good enough.” Pause and breathe before the rush.

If this season feels draining, you’re not alone.
Support can help you feel calmer, clearer, and more like yourself again 💛

Hi, I’m Bec — and if you’ve been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and out of sync with your body, I see you.

I’m a degree-qualified Naturopath with a deep passion for helping women who are juggling everything — work, family, life — while quietly running on empty. My own health journey led me to naturopathy, and it completely changed how I understand the body and healing.

I truly believe the body isn’t broken — it’s communicating. Fatigue, hormonal symptoms, digestive issues, and mood changes are signals, not failures. My role is to help you understand those signals and support your body with nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle changes that feel achievable and kind.

I work with women navigating hormonal imbalances, adrenal fatigue, PCOS, endometriosis, fertility and preconception, postnatal recovery, and hormone-related digestive and mood concerns.

If this resonates, you don’t have to do it alone.
Reach out when you’re ready — I’d love to support you on your journey back to balance and energy.

Genuine question - Why do chefs only cut off the cheek of a lemon to use? What do they do with the middle part?

Endometriosis symptoms like pain, fatigue, and inflammation don’t happen in isolation. They’re the result of interconnected imbalances that create a ripple effect across your body.

Here’s how it all ties together:

🔄 Hormonal Imbalance (Oestrogen + Progesterone): Unopposed oestrogen fuels inflammation, while low progesterone fails to provide anti-inflammatory support.

🌿 Liver Impairment: A sluggish liver struggles to clear excess oestrogen, worsening hormonal imbalances and oxidative stress.

🌱 Gut Dysfunction: Dysbiosis disrupts oestrogen metabolism, triggers immune activation, and heightens inflammation.

⚡ Excess Cortisol: Chronic stress overburdens the liver, weakens the gut barrier, and amplifies hormonal chaos.

Each of these factors feeds into the others, creating a vicious cycle that makes symptoms harder to manage.

Breaking the cycle starts with understanding these root causes and taking targeted action.
