Like all women, I have had many ups and downs in life. We are born with an innate ability to choose to thrive in the face of a challenge or to submit to what others will tell us we are going to experience. I have chosen the former and to find silver linings in these times of trial.

I have taken the opportunities given, to further my studies and understanding of many of the often unexpected and unwanted physical, emotional, spiritual and mental issues, that arise in Midlife. I am here to be a guide to help others navigate their way through and beyond.

Having had a partial hysterectomy in 2015, (so not having periods), there was no clue there as to what was going on with my cycle. A little while later, I started noticing weird things happening in my body and my mind: brain fog, memory lapses, zero libido, aches and pains, weight gain that just wouldn’t shift like it used to. You know the deal.

I then kinda started looking into menopause and had the “ holy shit” moment when I realised that this was what was behind my thoughts about me losing my marbles.

This lead me to want to educate myself, (since no one else has ever talked to me about it), and try to arm myself with knowledge that I could use to make lifestyle changes that would support my body as I grew older.

I studied to become a Women's Holistic Hormone Health Practitioner, dragged out my Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition, then dove deeper into the incredible and complex world of our hormones, peri-menopause, menopause, and beyond. I am currently studying to become an Advance Gut Restoration Advisor as everything begins in the digestive system.

Even more recently, I have loved myself through Stage 4 Breast Rogue Cells (cancer). A harrowing journey at times, but also a very intense awakening experience. The lessons learned are invaluable to me, and I feel that some wisdom I have gained can benefit not only other women with “Rogue Cells”, but those who are transitioning into the next phase of life. I have many complementary healing modalities to share, and a compassionate ear for women that are facing these things.

I want to share my insights, the ups and downs, the laughter and the tears. To let you know that this transition is not a miserable ending, but a beautiful beginning into “the second spring” of your life.

You have not gone past your “best before date”. You are not “over the hill”. You are not going to have your “ mothers menopause”. You are a goddess, a wise-woman, a conduit for the feminine rising, a Femme Fatale!! You are stronger than you think and more vital than you can imagine.
