Irregular Menstruation
Whether you're suffering from short or long cycles, light or heavy periods. The length can mean a variety of different things.
Long cycles are common in PCOS and perimenopause, hypothyroidism . Long cycles are generally characterised as longer than 35days.
Short cycles: perimenopause, anovulation. Short cycles are generally less than 24 days. Cycles that are less than 21 days are usually anovulatory cycles, (no ovulation)
Light menstruation: Common in PCOS, hypothalamic amenorrhea, endometriosis, under-eating, extreme stress, pregnancy :)
Heavy menstruation: Common in fibroids, endometriosis, adenomyosis, polyps, cysts, miscarriage, hypothyroidism, perimenopause, pelvic inflammatory disease. Heaviness is defined by excessive blood loss which may be difficult to manage, cause leakage, having to change pads/underwear frequently.

Fertility Care: Infertility
I personally love supporting women through fertility treatment. My aim is to help women/couples feel empowered and proactive in their health and fertility treatment. I regularly support women/couples through egg freezing, ovulation induction, IVF, ICSI etc.
I believe in a collaborative and open book approach with all specialists and GPs.
My approach is to focus on the general health and wellbeing of my clients, this may include digestive support, nervous system support, etc
We can target egg quality, egg numbers on collection, uterine lining, and semen quality, just to name a few.

Hormonal Migraines
These typically occur around the two peak drops of oestrogens in our cycle: ovulation and before a bleed onset.
Hormonal migraines can be really debilitating and severely affect quality of life, causing women to miss work or have difficulty holding down a job.
Key approach: look for particular nutritional deficiencies, timed cyclical hormonal testing.

Men's Fertility | Semen Health
I'm very passionate about men and partners getting involved and committed to their health. I like to take a preventative approach where we use comprehensive testing to optimise overall health and nutritional status for good DNA, sperm health and general well being.
I believe if partners talk about their health and a health assessment it shows good teamwork, support and dedication to their partner and future family.
How do we assess? Detailed case taking about all things health/wellbeing/diet, pathology recommendations, semen analysis.

PCOS: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Defined by irregular menstruation: usually longer in length rather than shorter. Eg. 35+++ days. Some women experience only a few cycles per year.
Symptoms can vary and range from: irregular cycles, irregular ovulation, hirsutism (unwanted male pattern hair growth), hair loss/alopecia, acne, breast tenderness, difficulty maintaining weight, anxiety, sugar cravings.
Treatment: we will aim to find your PCOS type or what's driving your PCOS symptoms. Common types are: Adrenal, Insulin resistant, inflammatory, post-pill.
Every type of PCOS needs different treatment and recommendations to be able to manage the symptoms.

Endometriosis & Adenomyosis
Endometriosis is characterised by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine space.
Clinical symptoms are varied but can range from: Painful menstruation, painful ovulation, heavy menstruation, chronic pelvic pain, painful intercourse, painful bowel movements or urination, IBS-like symptoms, difficulty conceiving, mood instability, some women also having no symptoms at all.
Location; can be found all over the body, in the uterus, ovaries, tubes, bowels, etc.
Adenomyosis: is endometrial-like tissue found within the uterine muscular wall. Often described as a 'bulky uterus' on ultrasound.
Clinical symptoms may include: heavy menstrual bleeds, painful menstruation, irregular bleeding patterns, difficulty conceiving.
Due to the extensive range of symptoms in both endometriosis and adenomyosis there are equally as extensive range in treatments. An empathetic and individualised approach is key here for helping my clients with the right referrals and testing.

Hormonal Acne / Acne
Hormonal acne can pop up at any time of life, but commonly starts around puberty. Hormonal acne can strike at any time of our life but common times or triggers may be: coming off hormonal contraceptives or devices, or in the lead up to menstrual bleed eg. 7 days prior to bleed. Hormonal acne can be very common in PCOS and androgen excess related conditions. Classic hormonal acne is generally located on the cheeks, chin, and jawline and neck.
My naturopathic approach is to understand the drivers/cause behind your breakouts and support the healing process at the same time.
Dietary modifications can play a key role as do particular nutrients.
(Testing suggestion: Day 2/3 female blood test (Insert link))
Where you can start at home: Good water intake, regular bowel motions including plenty of fiber, and avoiding excess sugar consumption.

Perimenopause / Early Menopause/ Premature Ovarian Insufficiency
Hormonal changes associated with peri menopause can start as early as 35 YO. Some women may experience these early and some not until late in their 40's.
Common changes or symptoms to look out for can range from changes to length of your menstrual cycle, typically varying in length eg. shorter cycles 22 day cycles. Skipping menstrual cycles all together, changes in heaviness of bleed: this can range from being extremely heavy or extremely light. Longer bleeds or shorter bleeds.
Other classic symptoms can include: insomnia, vaginal dryness, hot flushes, night sweats, low libido, fatigue, dry skin, mood changes, weight gain, just to name a few.
Let's embrace our hormones and figure out a way to support you through the natural changes in our 35+ reproductive years. Primary areas of support often include stress management, sleep support, adrenal support, diet and lifestyle changes.

Fibroids
Fibroids can be quite debilitating for many women. Common symptoms may include, extremely heavy menstruation, significant blood clots, painful menstruation, long menstruation 7+ days, constipation or other digestive symptoms, central weight gain, painful intercourse.
Diagnosis: performed through a gynaecologist or sonographer. Generally these will be removed if they are large enough, if they are causing issues with general wellbeing or fertility.
Naturopathic treatment: as always, we're looking for what's driving the growth of these for you through thorough case taking and pathology. A range of nutritional, herbal and diet and lifestyle advice.

IVF/Support
Sometimes the road leads couples/individuals to needing further assistance to conceive.
I can help optimise IVF outcomes by optimising egg quality, sperm quality, endometrial receptivity.
Treatments may also focus on diet, lifestyle, gut health, immune health and detoxification.

Recurrent Infections/BV/Thrush
Recurring vaginal infections including thrush and BV are very frustrating and are extremely common.
These infections can really affect relationships and quality of life for many women.
The common treatment of these may treat the infection but can result in recurrence in some individuals unless you treat the underlying route cause.
Common Naturopathic treatments and assessments look at the pH of the vagina, your hormones, your immune system, your diet, and of course your beneficial bacteria/microbiome.
See Vaginal microbiome testing on the test page.

Transition Off OCP/Device
Women often seek assistance when coming off pills/device removal due to pre-existing conditions or hormonal symptoms.
When your cycle will return is very different from one individual to another. Whilst one woman will get her cycle back within days or weeks, others may take months.
When to seek help: if you have pre-pill hormonal issues eg. acne, dysmenorrhea, irregular cycles.
Women wanting to conceive soon or already trying to conceive.
