Example of a clinic session last week -

A woman undergoing IVF came for a relaxing energy balancing & compress session.
She had just had an embryo transfer so we changed the session up a little.

No compress on the belly - but I created a relaxing herb infusion & used a compress on her forehead to help relax her mind, calm anxiety & help her find ease.

I also did BodyTalk to ask her body what it wanted to balance - then used tapping techniques to help ‘clear’ whatever her body no longer wanted to carry.

There was significant trauma & loss along her journey, which she wanted to talk about after it had come up during the balance. We had a beautiful discussion & came up with some techniques to help her move through her 2 week wait with a little more ease.

I also muscle tested for flower essences and made her a blend specific to her needs.

I love this work - the emotional body holds stories - and can be released to help move forward in life xx

A session I did in clinic this week….

Woman in her mid 30’s - coming for help with severe endometriosis.
She already had 3 surgeries & has been told she will never be able to have children.

The session was to help her start managing the symptoms, pain, heaviness of bleeding & teach her some tools she can do for herself to support her body & connect to herself in a gentle way.

We discussed food changes she can make, eliminating inflammatory foods & increasing nutrient dense ones.

We talked a lot about the emotional load of what she is going through.

I made her some herbs - one for a daily tonic to help with inflammation, hormone regulation, circulation, digestion & nervous system support.
Also one for her heavy bleed days to help reduce the flow.

I taught her how to do castor oil packing over her womb - a traditional remedy for reducing scars & adhesions from the endo & surgeries.

In time, we will do more body work - she is coming in for abdominal massage and pelvic steaming, and I will show her how to do some techniques at home for herself as ongoing maintenance.

Ill also do gentle energy balancing to help her move through grief & frustration at her body.

She is also interested in learning her epigenetic profile to provide a framework for best supporting her body for the rest of her life - the types of foods & movement, and their timings for optimal health.

Lots of tools & practical advice, along with gentle nurturing & holding her hand through a difficult time of life.

It is an honour to do this work x

There is way more than massage that I bring to a scar treatment consult.
Over 25 years I’ve trained across different modalities - rather than picking just one, I bring a combination to each person, because every scar (and every woman) has a different story.
Whether it’s a Caesarean, endometriosis surgery, a hysterectomy, a laparoscopy, or other abdominal procedure, healing continues way after the wound closes. Sometimes the scar & its ongoing effects need attention years later, to resolve properly.
So a session with me might weave together:
🌿 Gentle abdominal massage to support tissue movement, circulation and comfort
✨ BodyTalk, using muscle checking and tapping techniques to help release interference held around the scar and support the body’s communication as a whole
🌱 Herbal medicine to support your body’s own healing processes
🥗 Nutritional guidance to nourish recovery from the inside
🌸 Flower essences to support emotional release
💬 Simply space to talk — because what happened to get that scar matters just as much as the tissue itself
There is no single technique I reach for every time. I work intuitively and bring together whatever combination feels right.
Whether your scar is a few months or a few decades old, it is still worth some gentle attention.
If this is something you’ve wondered about for your own body, I’m happy to talk it through with you to see if my services are the right fit.
Abdominal & bodywork is about helping you feel more connected and at home in yourself again. 🤍

My work isn’t limited to a particular age group or phase of life.

Throughout 18 years of practice as a naturopath I have had the privilege to work with newborns, young children & pre-teens, right through each decade of life and post menopause.
I predominantly attract females to my offerings, but it is also not the limits of my work :)

Ive been asked a few times recently if I have ‘moved away’ from working with those in perimenopause and menopause in favour of post partum support and home visits.

The truth is, I love to be a hand-holder through times of need, and to provide the magic of plants, intuitive touch, massage & clinical knowledge with any girl or woman who needs it.

I have been loving my home visits for new mamas and pregnancy loss, as much as I love my busy clinic days in Paddington seeing those who want consults or bodywork, and my sessions online.

After many years of practice, the variety and depth is what excites me more than any specific niche.

I’ve even done some home visits for women undergoing cancer treatments, pre-IVF transfers, struggling with menopause, and simply for those who are feeling raw or overstretched & want to have someone treat them in the comfort of their own home.

So if you feel you would like to be heard, held and helped through a difficult time, and to help work out your health dilemmas, I am here to listen.

Free discovery calls are available through my booking system or by sending me a DM x

How are you going? Are you feeling calm & relaxed? Or disconnected, tired, in your head & out of touch with the rhythms of your body?

Life can be so fast, heady & the opposite of our true nature - to be slower, to allow the ebbs & flows of our internal seasons, to nurture, observe & go inwards when we need to.

I continually find the practice of bodywork is a space to connect back to your body, feel & hear her messages.

Combining touch, intuitive healing, plant medicine & massage techniques - bodywork sessions can support

~ emotional balance
~ clearing old blockages & trauma
~ easing physical pain
~ improving periods & PMS
~ supporting fertility - natural & IVF
~ reduce scars & adhesions from C section, surgeries & reproductive conditions such as endometriosis
~ post partum healing
~ pregnancy loss - emotional support & physical recovery
~ improve anxiety, tension & sleep issues
~ improved breathing capacity
~ supporting transitions like menopause

Step away from the noise, and come back to yourself.

Abdominal massage, womb steaming, herbal body compress & intuitive healing sessions are all available during home visits & in my clinic space. Reach out for a free discovery call if you would like help working out what would work best for you x M xx

It’s hard to put into words what the past week has been - I flew to Belfast for a visit, then onto Dundalk on the border of North/South for the annual Herb Feast - a celebration of the plant world for Irish (and visiting!) herbalists. My last time was during my 2017 8 week stay on a remote Scottish island studying herbs & medicine making.
I’ve found it difficult to stay connected to social media for some time - the noise, the schmick glamorous face of so many in the wellness industry, the celebration of aesthetics, uniform labels, ‘perfect’ looking dispensaries in sterile surroundings.

So arriving to a space of nearly 100 people and absolutely no egos to speak of (I couldn’t even spot one female wearing make up the whole 3 days) was soulful, warm & authentic in every way. I already knew a few people including my teachers from 2017, so it felt like home instantly.
In ceremony only to honour the plants, we walked in nature, learned about Celtic folklore and meditated with the herbs we felt drawn to. There was lots of laughter, connection, singing & dancing - in a way that the Irish do so naturally.

I was reminded of why I am doing this work, and which parts I need to move towards, and also away from.
For many years Australian naturopathy has become increasingly disconnected from the folklore of the plants, nature and the kitchen pharmacy style grass roots healing. This is a huge loss both to our lineage and for the future generations as we navigate a changing world.

Right now, all I can say is I feel an immense sense of gratitude for what the plants, and the warmth of so many people brought to me - and I am returning back to Australia with renewed clarity and enthusiasm for my contribution and how I can serve others with the help of the plants and their immense virtues.
Back in clinic next week! M x naturalmedicine

I could spend all day talking about lavender and just how beneficial it is for the nervous system.

Used for centuries, lavender is helpful for relieving stress, relaxing the mind and body to promoting sleep, healing wounds and encouraging healthy digestion.

Lavender has held up well in clinical trials comparing its efficacy to anti depressant drugs to manage mild to moderate depression. It is said to be helpful for those who feel they are 'in a fog' or a state of 'stagnant depression' - eg fixated on a specific traumatic event.

In the gut, it reduces spasms to alleviate pain, gassiness, nausea & lack of appetite.

There are many options for using lavender - so whichever suits you best is the right one!
~ using in a tea blend & drinking regularly
~ essential oil on a tissue or your pillow case
~ massaging diluted essential oil onto the skin or in a roller on the neck & temples
~ herbal tincture taken with guidance
~ dried lavender flowers in a pouch by your head at night

Do you have a favourite way to use lavender? M x

If you have seen me in clinic, you may have had me encourage you to start charting your cycles to give us some keen insights into your overall health.

By simply recording the cycle length along with symptoms experienced we start to see patterns that give us clues to work with.

Take that one step further and chart your basal body temperature daily - and we have a truly insightful pulse check about your general hormone function, your thyroid health (part of the metabolic & hormonal system) & if you actually ovulate. You can have a period and never ovulate - which is crucial whether you are trying to achieve pregnancy or not due to the need for progesterone (the calming, warming hormone) that ovulation creates.

Gaining this information can then help you work WITH your body throughout the cyclical rhythm of your month - understanding the changes to brain function, energy, food needs & even to your physical appearance & thought patterns.

I have an eBook download if you want to know more - includes a short video of my explaining the internal seasons to help you understand your body in a way we typically aren't taught when we really need it - at the start of our 40+ bleeding years!

I hope it helps you as much as it has me, M x
