11/11: The Portal of Healing and Alignment

Today, the 11/11 portal opens — a sacred alignment between body, mind, and spirit.

Health is not just physical. It’s energy. Intention. Flow.

On this day of infinite alignment, pause and declare:
“My body is healing. My hormones are harmonising. My energy is rising.”

Your cells are always listening.
Your words are medicine.
Your thoughts are frequency.

Hold a vision for your healthiest self today — one rooted in peace, nourishment, and trust.

Because when you align with your truth, your body remembers how to heal.

After a jam packed couple of weeks in October celebrating Menopause Awareness Month, my cup is full. From delivering workplace menopause chats at lunchtime in Melbourne, to full presentations on everthing menopause in a good snap shot for workplaces, to the Celebrating Women's Expo in Sydney as the Menopause Expert.

The one message that's come back is that the stigma of menopause still lingers with women reluctant to discuss their suffering with their boss for fear of losing their job and quitting careers all together from sheer exhaustion.

Menopause is our business with over half of the worlds population entering menopause momentarily and 6000 women in the U.S daily entering the transition it needs to be acknowledged.

I am sure on all of my platforms in the work I do and the information I share I'm making a difference. To remove the taboo and fear around this empowering transition is extremely powerful to me. Even the shortest of conversations can have a remarkable impact. I'm leading the way in the path I walk.

Come talk to me.... this work I do is yours too.

Education is such a powerful tool when it comes to health and wellbeing, it’s empowering and it puts you in the front seat of your health.

I’m delighted to commence my Embrace Menopause work place coffee chats. As it’s important women’s business, it’s men’s business as well.

Did you know menopause affects
Relationships
Family dynamics
Careers
Mental Health
Communication breakdown
Overall wellbeing…..

I’m conducting free workplace chats that I consider as the menopause woven bag. A sacred container where all the threads of menopause — symptoms, wisdom, nourishment, resilience, science, and soul — are gathered, held, and carried together. I take a holistic step in providing the essence of what menopause is as a truly sacred and whole state of health in a supportive framework.

Did You Know Your Thyroid Whispers Before It Shouts?

Fatigue that doesn’t lift. Brain fog that clouds your days. Mood swings or hormone shifts that feel out of control. A metabolism that feels sluggish no matter what you do…

These are all gentle nudges that your thyroid may need a little more love.

Many of these symptoms can overlap with hormonal imbalances. That’s why it’s so important to zoom out and look at the full picture: thyroid, adrenals, and s*x hormones all dancing together.

What do you actually do if you suspect thyroid issues?

The truth is, standard bloodwork often only scratches the surface. In functional medicine, we go deeper than just TSH and T4. We explore the whole thyroid panel and consider autoimmune markers like Hashimoto’s, while also weaving in your story, lifestyle, and stress picture.

Healing often requires more than a prescription. It’s about balancing stress, nourishing your body with the right foods, supporting detox pathways, and replenishing key nutrients.

The key is: don’t ignore the whispers. With the right testing, guidance, and support, you can reclaim your energy, clarity, and flow.

If this resonates, know you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I offer a safe space to explore thyroid, hormones, and adrenal health with a root-cause approach.

🌿 Burnout: The Hidden Epidemic 🌿

Chronic burnout is no longer a whisper — it’s becoming an epidemic. Did you know that even 50% of practitioners are affected?

It doesn’t happen overnight. Burnout often begins as exhaustion, slips into persistent fatigue, and can eventually become chronic fatigue and deep burnout.

✨ Factors that can drive burnout:
▪️ Long COVID & post-viral syndromes
▪️ Fibromyalgia
▪️ Persistent viruses, pathogens & parasites
▪️ Trauma & unresolved stress
▪️ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
▪️ Chronic inflammation

✨ Gentle ways to begin healing:
🌿 Pause if you need to — don’t push past your body’s limit
🌿 Nourish your body & listen to your hunger cues
🌿 Rehydrate — water is medicine
🌿 Prioritise sleep & create calming rituals around it
🌿 Reduce stressors & practise daily nervous system resets
🌿 Step back from constant bad news & media
🌿 Ground yourself in nature & breath
🌿 Lean on herbs & adaptogens to gently restore balance

💫 Healing is not a race, nor a finish line. It’s a journey.

This is the heart of my work with the Embrace Method — where science meets soul, and healing becomes sacred. Together, we uncover the root cause of burnout and create a path back to vitality, peace, and alignment. 🌸

If you’re feeling the weight of burnout, know you’re not alone — and there is a way back to yourself. 💚

🌿 This Father’s Day… let’s talk about our men 🌿

I was deeply moved by research shared this week by Tim Hewson, who works in men’s health and wellbeing. The findings are confronting:

💔 Divorced men are almost three times more likely to die by su***de than married men.
💔 Young men under 34 who are separated face an eight-fold higher risk than their married peers.
💔 In most studies, the common thread was emotional suppression — the pressure to “hold it all in.”

This isn’t about weakness.
It’s about silence.
It’s about the cost of “suck it up.”

As a practitioner, I see the toll this takes. Relationship breakdown doesn’t just end a chapter — it can unravel identity, health, and hope.

This Father’s Day, may we:
✨ Shift the story from suck it up to speak up
✨ Honour vulnerability as strength
✨ Support our fathers, brothers, sons, and friends in real conversations
✨ Redefine masculinity as connection, presence, and care

Because our men deserve to live. To love. To heal.
And most of all — to know they are not alone. 💙

🌿 For those ready to take the next step, my Men’s Thrive Program offers holistic, root-cause support to help men reclaim their energy, health, and resilience.

Let’s talk about heavy bleeding.

If your cycle feels like a crime scene every month, you are not alone — but you do deserve more than just a quick fix.

Procedures like uterine ablation, the Mirena, or the pill may slow or pause the bleeding… but they don’t tell us why your body is bleeding that way in the first place.

Heavy, irregular, or stop-start periods are a signal. Not a nuisance. They often point to deeper imbalances — and you deserve to understand what your body is trying to say.

In my work, I explore what’s going on under the hood — because functional medicine helps explain the why behind your symptoms, and how we can gently support your body to shift them.

If this speaks to you, I’m around today if you have questions or just need to unpack your story with someone who gets it.

You’re never too much — and your bleeding isn’t “just part of being a woman.”

Are you committed to making proper lifestyle changes? If you are then you have to follow me and join my program. You are not a one size fits all…. You are unique.
