The witch trials weren’t just about fear of women. In a large part they were about the destruction of women’s knowledge — of healing, of the body, of menopause and reproduction — and the transfer of that authority to a male-dominated medical establishment that has shaped women’s healthcare ever since.

Historian Silvia Federici called this process “primitive accumulation.” The enclosure of land and the burning of healers were, in her argument, two sides of the same historical process. And it didn’t stay in Europe. Colonial powers exported the same framework to the Americas, targeting Indigenous women healers with the same accusations.

This history matters because it explains something about where we are now.

Comment READ and I’ll add you to the waitlist for Natural Menopause Support — I’ve got a lot more discussion about this taking of knowledge and persecution of the minorities in there.

Australia just made history with its first ever national menopause awareness campaign, and I am here for it.
One in four women experience symptoms severe enough to affect daily life. Most arrive at perimenopause without enough information to understand what is happening to them. The government has recognise that, and so have I – which is why I have been working hard on writing a book that provides information and tools for women going through perimenopause and menopause.
✨Natural menopause support✨ – the book, is coming soon. Follow me for more updates or subscribe to my newsletter via the link in bio.

If your partner had a guide of dos and don’t for menopause what would it include?

I’m writing a book!
I’m taking all of the content that I made when I created ecourse a few years ago and turning it into a print and digital book, with lots of added goodness.
I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner, maybe procrastination, maybe self doubt.
But it’s on the way and I’m pretty excited!

PCOS got a name change - finally! It only took 14 years but now PCOS has been renamed to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS).
Given this condition affects 1 in 8 women it’s important that it is better understood, and with an inaccurate title it gets misunderstood and that can result in mismanagement and dismissal.
So I’m pretty happy to see this name change come into place.

If you or your child has ADHD, here are some things I think you really need to know about gut health. 👇
Because the brain and the gut are in constant conversation - and for a lot of people with ADHD, the gut is where a big piece of the puzzle has been hiding.
Here’s what the research is telling us:
- Your gut produces around 90% of your body’s serotonin. Yes, in your gut. Not your brain.
- People with ADHD that is flaring up (when the pain points are loudest) consistently show differences in their gut microbiome - including lower levels of the bacteria involved in making dopamine precursors and calming neurotransmitters like GABA.
- There’s a 63% increased risk of IBS in people with ADHD (2025 research). Constipation, bloating and food sensitivities are also far more common. This is not a coincidence.
- When the gut lining becomes compromised (hello, leaky gut), it can trigger neuroinflammation - which directly impacts focus, mood, and behaviour.
None of this means gut health is the only answer. But it does mean it’s worth looking at - especially if you’ve already tried a lot of things and still feel like something’s missing.

Our cycles are so fascinating: do you know the stages of your menstrual cycle can influence your body and mind?
Mental health, self esteem, vaginal health, strength and exercise recovery are JUST SOME of the things that change throughout your cycle.
I love working with women’s health. I love teaching women how their hormones can affect them, I love using herbs to treat all sort of issues related to the menstrual cycle. I love helping women on their journey with contraceptives whether it’s supporting their health whilst they’re on them or helping them on their journey off of them. Your choice. 🙌🏻

I love using diet to support hormones too. There’s so many powerful tools at our disposal💃🏻

If you need some support with your hormones or menstrual health there are a few ways we can work together :

Not all endometriosis is the same, and understanding the different types can really change how we approach treatment and support.

Endometriosis generally falls into three categories:
1. Superficial Peritoneal Endometriosis
The most common type - thin, freckle-like spots on the pelvic lining. Despite looking minor, this type can cause significant pain. Here's the thing though - the pain with superficial endo is often less about the lesions themselves and more about visceral hypersensitivity, where the nervous system becomes highly sensitised and amplifies pain signals. This means surgery often isn't the answer here.

What tends to help more is:
- Reducing systemic inflammation
- Supporting nervous system health and regulation
- Addressing gut health and the gut-brain connection
- Stress and nervous system support

2. Endometriomas (Ovarian Cysts)
These are cysts that form directly on the ovaries. They can impact ovarian reserve and fertility, and often cause a deep, aching pelvic pain, particularly around ovulation. These are typically visible on ultrasound, which makes them one of the more straightforward types to identify without surgery.

3. Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis
The most complex type, affecting around 20% of people with endometriosis. Lesions grow beyond the surface and can pe*****te into structures like the bowel, bladder, or uterosacral ligaments.

Symptoms can include:
-Painful or difficult bowel movements, especially during your period
-Pain with urination
-Deep, stabbing pelvic pain
-Pain with s*x (particularly deep pe*******on)
-Back and leg pain

This type is more likely to respond well to surgical excision when performed by a skilled endo specialist - and getting the right surgeon really matters here.
The takeaway? Endo is not one size fits all, and neither is treatment.

It's Endometriosis Awareness Month, and this year there's genuinely exciting news for the endo community!

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has just released its very first comprehensive guidelines specifically on *diagnosing* endometriosis, and honestly, it's a big deal.

For so long, getting a diagnosis has meant years of being dismissed, told your pain is "normal," or waiting for surgery just to have someone believe you. On average, people wait between 4 and 11 years from the onset of symptoms to finally receiving a diagnosis, and that wait comes at a real cost to quality of life, fertility, and emotional wellbeing.

These new guidelines are pushing for real change:

- Clinicians can now make a *presumptive clinical diagnosis* based on history, symptoms, and physical examination alone, meaning treatment can begin sooner without waiting for surgery to "prove" what you've been feeling all along
- The guidelines formally acknowledge that dismissal of symptoms causes harm, prolonging physical suffering and significantly impacting psychological and emotional wellbeing (finally in writing! 🙌)
- The goal is to shorten that agonising diagnostic gap and improve access to care

Your pain is real. Your symptoms matter. You deserve to be heard. 💛

If you've been living with painful periods, pelvic pain, pain with intimacy, bloating, or unexplained fatigue, please don't wait to seek support. You don't have to just push through.

As always, my door is open and I would love to be part of your care team if you are seeking natural support for endo. 🌿
