Last year I wrote a post on why we should talk about tampons: what we're using, what's in it and how this can affect our health. It's an important topic, as most of us will use tampons and/or pads every month that we menstruate, for decades of our life. Now, however,...
Women’s Health
Ladies, I can help you! Hormonal balance is a BIG part of wellbeing and, unfortunately, many women more commonly experience imbalance. However, this can be remedied. Ongoing issues such as PMS, irregular cycles, endometriosis and PCOS all respond very well to naturopathic and integrative treatment.

Let’s talk about sex
I've been asked to write a little something about sex. Doing it! Or rather, not doing it i.e. what's happening when you're not in the mood. I often chat to patients and friends alike who joke about feeling lacklustre in the sack, having to fend off their amorous...
