HERBAL MEDICINE
Herbs have been used traditionally for thousands of years to treat and heal ailments and disease. A large section of the world still use herbal medicine as their primary source of healthcare as they are effective, affordable, closely correspond to the patient’s ideology, allays concerns about the adverse effects of chemical (synthetic) medicines and can be personalized to the individual and their healthcare needs.
NUTRITIONAL MEDICINE
We all eat to live but it is what we eat that is vitaly important. All food has different nutrients so if we are not eating a wide variety of nutrient dense fresh fruits and vegetables and eating too many processed or refined foods we may be missing out on many essential vitamins and minerals. Deficiences of these nutrients can have profound affects on our body’s and can contribute to hormone imbalances, muscle pain and headaches.
FLOWER ESSENCES
Flower essences are dilute, potentized herbal infusions or decoctions, prepared from wildflowers or pristine garden blossoms. They are energetics, where the energy of the flower is imprinted onto the water. Flower essences work on an emotional level and are catalysts for emotional change, they work by stimulating awareness. They can help the patient feel clearer, calmer, or better able to cope depending on the individual need and flower/s chosen.

“Anne was very thorough in all aspects of her investigations to get to the bottom of my underlying ailment. Her patient, understanding manner put me at ease immediately. I have no hesitation recommending her services, my health has never been better.”
“Thank you so much Anne, you are great at what you do. I have been recommending you to everyone I know. Changing just a few things has made such a big difference, Im feeling better every day. I now have the tools to stay healthy and active into my old age”
“Anne your knowledge around hormones, imbalances and menopause has been a godsend. I no longer suffer from moodswings, muscle pain or hot flushes. Can’t thank you enough and recommend anyone feeling the effects of menopause to make an appointment.”
Peri-menopause - Menopause?
Do you experience any of the following!
- Hot flushes
- Brain fog
- Fatigue
- Low libido
- Increased abdominal fat
- Dry skin
- Mood swings
- Night sweats
- Vaginal dryness
- Menstrual irregularity
- Dizziness or headaches
- Insomnia
It doesn’t have to be this way.
The transition into menopause should be a period of ease and reflection.
You are moving into a new phase of your life where you should be able to finally take some well deserved time out for yourself.
Instead, all too often I see women suffer through some or all of these symptoms thinking this is normal.
Having personally been through this transition, I found that looking after my health and nutrition, having good hormonal balance long before peri-menopause began really helped me allay these symptoms.
Peri-menopause refers to the natural transition your body makes towards menopause, where oestrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate as they begin to decline, slowly marking the end of the reproductive years.
Peri-menopause can occur at different ages, though usually occurs in your late 40’s. The duration of this transition is on average around 4 years.
By tweaking diet and lifestyle, ensuring adequate nutrient levels and hormones are well balanced, good stress and relaxation techniques are incorporated I can help you breeze through this next and exciting phase of your life.
Please don’t hesitate to give me a call and let me help make your journey an easy one.
YOU deserve it.
