I help women in midlife reset their metabolism so they release weight and have more energy to live an incredible life

10/11/2025

I would…

Eat to nourish, not to restrict.
Move my body because I can and love to, not because I have to.
Go to bed earlier, even when the to-do list isn’t finished.
Say no to things that drain me or fulfil me.
Say yes to rest, joy, and moments of stillness.
Spend more time with people I love.
Laugh often.

I would remind myself that health now is less about pushing and more about listening to what my body is asking for.

And I’d do it with compassion, not pressure.

Because the woman I’ll be in 10 years… she deserves the choices I make today.

What’s one small thing you could do today for your future self?

Your body is wise.

Even when you feel tired, foggy, puffy or not quite yourself it’s still working for you, not against you.

But in midlife, it might be time to re-teach it what safety, nourishment, and rhythm look like now.

Your hormones have changed.
Your metabolism is different.
And your nervous system is carrying more than it used to.

That’s why in this season, we shift away from the old ways of restriction, pushing harder, or ignoring the signs. Instead, we come back to:

✨ Feeding your body what it actually needs - consistently
✨ Moving with purpose, not punishment
✨ Resting enough to repair and regulate

When you support your body in these ways, it responds - with energy, clarity, and joy. I see this transformation in my clinic all the time.

You haven’t lost yourself.
You’re just learning how to care for yourself differently now.
And I’d love to help guide that process.

My morning ritual for better sleep.☀️

This year, I’ve made it a regular practice to get early morning sun exposure - and it’s made such a difference to my sleep quality.

In those early hours, we’re exposed to red light, which helps set our circadian rhythm (our internal body clock). It tells our brain it’s daytime, helping us feel more awake, and later, more ready for rest.

I’ve noticed my energy is steadier through the day, and while I’m out on my walk, I take a moment to think of three things I’m grateful for.

It’s such a simple ritual, but it really sets me up for a positive day ahead.

If you’re struggling with sleep, try starting your day outside - just 10–15 minutes of morning light can make a world of difference.

And if that isn't working, just PM as natural medicine can help with this.

You’re eating well. You’re moving your body. But the scales aren’t shifting - and you don’t feel like yourself.

Let me ask you:

▪️ Are you constantly hungry or craving sugar between meals?
▪️ Do you feel puffy or bloated - even when eating healthy?
▪️ Has your sleep changed?
▪️ Are you noticing more weight around your middle?
▪️ Do you feel flat or fatigued, no matter what you try?

These can all be signs your hormones and metabolism need support.

In midlife, a generic weight loss plan simply isn’t enough, because your body has different needs now.

That’s where a personalised, wholefood-based approach like the Midlife Slimdown Method comes in.

💡 In my 12-week program, you’ll receive:
✔️ A personalised food plan based on your biochemistry
✔️ Support to balance blood sugar and insulin resistance
✔️ Gentle, sustainable tools to shift weight without restriction
✔️ Weekly coaching and real-life strategies that work in midlife

✨ This is your chance to feel lighter, clearer, and in control again, without burning out or guessing.

DM me for details or to reserve your spot in the next intake.

This is a client success story, of a beautiful woman experiencing low mood in peri-menopause.
Her daughter, concerned for her mum's well being in peri-menopause booked the appointment for her mum.

This client didn't want to go on antidepressants, instead she preferred a natural approach. She started experiencing an improvement in her symptoms within 2 weeks of starting the herbal medicine and by 8 weeks she felt 80 % improved in her mood and wellbeing.

She still has some bad days just before her period, however she feels supported by the tonics, which have elevated her energy, mood and resilience during this phase.

Please DM, if you want a natural approach for helping your mood & energy during peri-menopause.

Midlife brings change - but that doesn’t mean you’re meant to feel flat, foggy or fatigued.

Here are 3 ways I help women in midlife begin to feel more like themselves again:

✨ 1. Understand your energy dips.
If you wake tired, crash in the afternoon, or feel wired at night, it’s often more than just “being busy.”

These patterns often signal deeper hormonal or blood sugar imbalances. Mapping your daily rhythm helps us identify where support is needed.

✨ 2. Bring rhythm to your meals and sleep.
Inconsistent eating and late nights can disrupt your metabolic and hormonal balance more than you realise - especially in peri- and post-menopause.

Simple shifts like regular mealtimes and winding down earlier can reset your internal rhythm.

✨ 3. Make room for recovery.
Midlife is a time to be more intentional with rest. Gentle movement, breathing space in your schedule, and time outdoors aren’t indulgent - they’re necessary for long-term resilience.

Midlife isn’t something to push through. It’s your time to reconnect with what your body really needs and rise from there.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to guide you.

When you are following an eating plan - birthdays, work dinners and holidays might appear as an obstacle to losing weight.

But, it's actually an opportunity - to exercise mindful eating - eating not too much, including protein, and bringing with you a handful of nuts and a drink bottle so you have something healthy on the go.

So next time you focus on what you can't control when eating out flip it and notice what you can control.

Unlike this photo, I was able to control where I stood (Irish sea behind me) but with little control over the weather and my hair needless to say !

Client success - Kelly shares her experience of undertaking the Metabolic Balance program.

With Metabolic Balance, Kelly reclaimed her energy, confidence and released weight which she struggled with when following a strict eating and exercise program at the gym.

In Menopause, a generic eating approach often doesn't work because it doesn't factor in the changes in hormones (and metabolism) which occurs during this time.

If you want to know what foods will work to optimise your metabolism, energy so you can lose weight then DM me to find out more about how you can feel better with Metabolic Balance.

This is what I want every woman in peri or post-menopause to know: you are not broken.

Your metabolism hasn’t failed you - it’s just operating under a different hormonal landscape than it did in your 30s.

Metabolic Balance works with your body’s unique biochemistry. It’s not restrictive, and it’s not trend-driven.

It’s a personalised, wholefood approach based on your blood markers, supporting your liver, hormones and metabolism at the same time.

If your body has been whispering that it’s time for change, this is the sign you’ve been waiting for.

DM me and I’ll explain how it works.

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Golden Grove?

My mission is....

To help as many people as I can to restore their health and wellness.

In an initial consultation (1 hour) I collect information about your current health complaint/s, medical history, review of systems and clinical examinations. You may be referred for blood pathology testing to assist in treatment assessment. Although symptoms are addressed you will be educated on relevant dietary, lifestyle changes required to manage the underlying causes. Herbal medicines and nutritional supplementation may be prescribed as part of your treatment.

The number of follow up appointments required will depend on how you have had the symptoms/disease for and the response to treatment. Follow up consultations are 30 minutes.

I have a special interest in digestive health, weight management, hormone imbalances, anxiety, adrenal fatigue and autoimmune conditions. I am a certified Metabolic Metabolic Balance® Practitioner, which is a scientific weight management program which offers an individualised plan based on your unique chemistry. I love it as it is based on whole foods and works.
