I’ve had a lot of new faces here recently, so I thought I’d reintroduce myself properly.

I wasn’t always the practitioner.
I used to work in the City - long hours, high stress, always “on”.
It was fun whilst it lasted, however I was also the woman with the symptoms.

- Chronic bloating and digestive issues I didn’t know how to manage
- Functioning….but constantly tired
- Hormonal swings and low mood
- A puffy face that didn’t feel like me
- Blood tests that were normal

No-one told me:
- I was hypothyroid
- My iron was functionally low
- My vitamin D was sub-optimal
- My omega-3 status mattered

And no-one explained how food, stress, the nervous system and hormones are all connected.

So I spent years learning. Studying. Testing. Understanding.

This is now the work I do.

I support women dealing with gut disruption, hormone shifts, fatigue and burnout - especially when they’ve been told everything is fine.

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

I’ll be opening in-clinic appointments very soon + online appointments always available 💚👀.

I’m careful with the word detox.

Your body is detoxing every day — the question is whether it has the capacity to keep up with modern load: food, stress, alcohol/caffeine, medications… and everyday chemical exposures.

🌿 For context: one survey found adults use around 12 personal care products daily, adding up to 100+ ingredients across routines. Those compounds can be absorbed in small amounts and still need to be processed and cleared, with the liver playing a central role in that clearance work. Personal care products are also a known source of endocrine (hormone)-disrupting chemical classes like phthalates, parabens and bisphenols. This is on top of everything else your liver has to deal with.

When the liver is under pressure, it doesn’t always show up as a “liver problem.” It can look like digestive heaviness, stool changes, puffiness, itchy skin/acne, hormone patterns, fatigue/brain fog, sugar sensitivity — and stubborn weight.

That’s why some people choose a liver flush — not to push detox, but to lower the load and support clearance — so digestion, hormones, skin and energy can stop fighting upstream 💛.

Bile flow is one of the most overlooked pieces of digestion.

Bile (made by the liver and released via the gallbladder) helps you:
• break down fats
• absorb vitamins A, D, E & K
• support regular stools + gut balance
• move waste out through the gut

These are simple food-first ways to support bile flow and liver function gently and where I've been focusing my nutrition this week. These are the kind of basics I start with before anything more intense — not a cleanse, not a quick fix, just foundations that build capacity gently and consistently.

I’m sharing my liver prep week now, and next week I’ll document my flush experience.

Most people think liver support is only relevant if you drink a lot…but clinically it often shows up in far more everyday ways.

Here’s the missing link: the liver produces bile — and bile is essential for fat digestion, stool colour, regular bowel movements, and even keeping certain gut microbes in check. When bile flow is sluggish, symptoms can show up as reflux, bloating, constipation, floating/pale stools, and gut issues that keep returning.

The liver is also involved in hormone processing and inflammatory load. So for some people it doesn’t just look digestive — it looks like PMS, hormonal acne, tender breasts, headaches, irritability and low stress tolerance.

Important note: these are patterns, not diagnoses. Many things can cause these symptoms, and bloodwork can still look “normal” while the body is clearly struggling.

This week I’m focusing on prep + drainage support. Next week I’ll be sharing my liver flush experience.
