I built Foundations for Women so you can access everything I teach in your first three consults - for the price of one.

Inside you’ll find video lessons, meal plans, recipes, masterclasses, supplement recommendations, and ongoing support - everything you need to reset your gut and hormones in four weeks.

Because healing doesn’t have to be complicated, it just has to be guided.

You don’t need to eat all organic - but knowing where it counts can make a big difference for your gut and hormones.

Some produce is heavily sprayed with pesticides like glyphosate, which can disrupt your gut microbiome and contribute to inflammation. Others? Barely touched.

That’s where the Clean Fifteen and Dirty Dozen come in - a simple guide by the Environmental Working Group to help you prioritise what’s worth buying organic (and where you can save your money).

Small swaps, big impact. 🍓🥑

✨ Comment “ORGANIC” below and we’ll send you a free downloadable PDF - perfect to keep on your fridge for your next grocery shop.

✨ Ready to feel calm, energised, and clear again
Struggling to regulate their cycle - whether is PCOS, endo, or you just dont really know
Or maybe you just feel uncomfortable in your body and need a spring detox

Come with me as I get my iron stores and haemoglobin up in this 36 weeks pregnant Bod:

FOOD AS MEDICINE
First, food as medicine, chicken liver pate is got to be first in the list for organic absorbable iron

Rich in organic heam iron, choline, all the B Vitamins (special mention for b12 and folate during pregnancy for red blood cells) Liver also contains ALL fat soluble vitamins A,D,E + K. Key preg food.

MIX IN A LITTLE LEAFY GREEN
It's always good to mix with some non heam iron from veggies (like spinach or nettles as I have done with this brekkie (eggs, dark rye, nettles and liver pate)

ADD A LITTLE VITAMIN C
- I try to always add a little vitamin C to aid absorption either in a supplement or food (citrus/red pepper /berries)

THEN - SUPPLEMENTATION - MORE IS NOT MORE!

I find taking different forms of supplementation gets the iron stores up fast:
Iron bisglycinate in a capsule
And organic iron water (Spatone)
And and from herbs (FLoradix)

- Popping this together with some 100% pomegranate juice will not only add a yummy taste but contains vitamin C and polyphenols - again important for iron and gut health.
- The body loves it!

If you'd like my iron cheat sheet with everything I've used and more comment "IRON" and I'll send you the pdf

Welcome to all the new followers! As there are so many of you I thought I'd introduce myself. Im Karen (but I go by Ren). I call myself The Women's Naturopath because thats what I love to do an am good at.

Majority of the women I see come to me for hormonal, gut and vaginal conditions like endo, PCOS, coming off the pill, bloating constipation or IBS, recurrent vaginal conditions, perimenopause, fertility or missing periods. Or simply that they are tired and stressed.

During my consultations you will feel immediately at home, listened to and that there is no such thing as 'TMI' :)
You will find HOPE!

Because one thing I know for certain is that if we figure out what your symptoms are trying to tell you, get to the ROOT CAUSE - then natural medicine will have a tool for you.

Herbs, plants and great food are my life, as is my dog Gaia (who's actually my partner's dog whom I've now claimed as mine 😆). I'm actually Zimbabwean, I'm terrible at selfies so you wont see many of them, and I have big dreams of helping millions of women love their bodies more.... and embrace the fact that we ARE NATURE, and not separate from it.

Tell me a little bit about you... What brought you here? What would you like to learn about?
