My Journey

Like you I have had a totally unique and varied life, it’s what makes us who we are and where we are today. My story includes being a farmer/horticulturalist and lover of all things natural.  My love affair with nutrition began in the 80’s along with my belief in our bodies ability to heal itself if given the right environment and support.
I also love getting amongst nature and am in my happy place getting my hands dirty in the garden or walking on the beach or the bush. 

And I’m sure, just like many of you, perimenopause caught me totally off guard. In my early 40s I was busy getting through each day, juggling running a farm  and raising a family. You know that life - where everyone else's needs come first, and self-care feels like a luxury! 

So in the midst of the chaos the changes crept in—starting with irregular periods, sudden hot flashes, and night sweats stealing my sleep, but it was the emotional rollercoaster that hit me the hardest—mood swings, brain fog, and feeling like I was losing myself.  With no open discussion about perimenopause at the time, I felt lost and alone.

That eventually changed when I met a holistic practitioner who showed me how stress, nutrition, and hormones were deeply connected and that chronic stress wasn’t just draining me—it was amplifying every symptom.  True transformation came when I addressed both the body and mind. Nutrition and stress management restored my physical balance, but counselling gave me the emotional space to heal. Years of putting myself last, burying my emotions, and carrying everyone’s burdens finally surfaced, and with her support, I embraced this transition as a time for self-discovery and renewal.

Now, I am stronger, calmer, and more connected to myself than ever. It was this journey and what I learnt along the way that fuels my passion to help you navigate this transition with knowledge, support, and empowerment.

So please know you’re not alone, every symptom and emotion is valid and together, we can turn this transition into a path of healing and growth.
