11/28/2025

✨ With December just around the corner, I wanted to share a quick update on my schedule and availability! ✨

If you need a consult, refill or a follow-up, please get in touch soon so we can schedule it over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be mostly unavailable from December 16 until the new year, and depending on the complexity of your blends, it may take a few days to prepare everything. I want to make sure you have everything you need over the holidays! 🎄

And if you’ve got a plan waiting for review, let’s touch base soon. It’s a quick and easy way to set yourself up for a smooth and healthy start to the new year! 🌿

Lately it seems like women’s health — especially PCOS — has been showing up more often.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex hormonal pattern that affects how the ovaries function. It’s often marked by irregular cycles, cystic ovaries, skin or hair changes, and challenges with blood sugar balance. But beneath those symptoms lies a deeper story — one involving communication breakdowns between the brain, ovaries, liver, and adrenal glands.

In conventional medicine, PCOS is typically managed with birth control pills to regulate menstrual cycles, metformin to improve insulin sensitivity, and sometimes anti-androgen or fertility medications to help with specific symptoms. These can bring temporary relief or symptom control, but they don’t always address why the body’s balance became disrupted or how to help it restore its natural rhythm.

From a herbal and holistic perspective, the goal is to bring the body back into conversation with itself. Herbal support focuses on gently encouraging balanced hormone signaling — supporting how hormones are made, metabolized, and cleared, while calming excess stress response that can interfere with this delicate balance.

Supplements are sometimes included to strengthen key pathways — like improving insulin response, supporting liver detoxification, calming inflammation, and replenishing nutrients the body relies on for hormone production.

This approach is slower and more nurturing. It doesn’t force the body into change; it guides it, helping communication pathways repair and function as they were designed to. Over time, many notice steadier cycles, improved energy, clearer skin, and an overall sense of hormonal harmony returning.

Lifestyle and diet remain the biggest drivers of change — nourishing foods, balanced blood sugar, stress care, and quality rest form the foundation that allows herbs and supplements to do their work.

💚 When the body is supported on every level, it remembers how to restore balance in its own time.
