🩺 Let’s talk about perimenopause — because silence helps no one.

For many South African women, perimenopause arrives quietly — and then turns everything upside down. One day you're balancing work, parenting, and caring for ageing parents... the next, you're navigating night sweats, brain fog, mood swings, or changes in your cycle that leave you wondering: “Is this normal?”

The answer: Yes. It’s perimenopause — a natural, but often misunderstood stage of life.

At our practice, we see how many women feel overwhelmed, unprepared, or dismissed when seeking help. That’s why we’re committed to validating your experience, providing support, and helping you feel like yourself again.

With the right tools and care, perimenopause doesn’t have to be a struggle you face alone. We can help with:
🌿 Personalised medical care and symptom relief
🌿 Lifestyle support (sleep, nutrition, stress management)
🌿 Compassionate conversations and guidance

Let’s normalise perimenopause — and empower women through it.
Your body may be changing, but your strength and value are not.

Reach out if you’re curious, confused, or just need someone to talk to. We’re here for you 🩷

🌸 Hello Spring! 🌸
The days are getting warmer, flowers are blooming… and yes, allergy season is here!
If you’re feeling the sniffles, sneezes, or itchy eyes creeping in, you’re not alone. Here are a few do’s and don’ts to help you breeze through spring:

✅ Do start your antihistamines early – once symptoms hit, they’re harder to manage.
✅ Do use your nasal steroid spray daily for best results – aim straight back, not up, and gently sniff.
✅ Do keep windows closed on high pollen days and shower after being outside to rinse pollen off.

🚫 Don’t overuse decongestant sprays – they can cause rebound congestion.
🚫 Don’t wait until symptoms are severe – early action is key!

If allergies are getting the better of you, don’t suffer in silence – come in and see us. We can help tailor a treatment plan that works for you.

Here’s to sunny days and clearer noses! 🌼
