Women's Health
Women are jugglers; partner, mother, sister, aunt, daughter, grandmother, worker, friend… My approach is supportive and can help you balance these roles. I have been there – 5 children, including twins, and now 8 grandchildren.
A woman’s life is full of transitions! I offer you support, guidance and understanding to embrace the challenges and grow through these times. Often these times can result in loss of confidence, confusion, depression or fatigue. These symptoms can be improved and your emergence into the next phase can be fulfilling and empowering.
Puberty
"Who am I? What is my place in the world?"
Puberty can be a turbulent time of both physical and emotional change. This is the time when I can help you achieve balance which can prevent many chronic patterns relating to self-esteem, stress and menstrual irregularities from developing and continuing into womanhood. Symptoms may include:
-
Moodiness
-
Growing pains
-
Painful periods
-
Headaches
-
Glandular fever
-
Lack of coordination during growth
Preconception Care & Pregnancy
"What is it to be a mother? How do you want to experience this? How does “Me”, “Partner” and “Mother” work in balance?"
This is a time of great change and I can help you with this transition in areas such as:
-
Nutrition and general health issues
-
Worries and insecurities
-
Subsequent pregnancy after the loss of a pregnancy or baby
-
Birth preparation

Immune support

Teething, crying, sleeping

Mums with children with a disability

Anxiety

Concentration and focus

Workplace stress, family challenges, sexuality
Menopause and beyond
"Who am I? Why are we here and what do I want from the rest of my life?"

Poor sleep and fatigue
