Digestion is pivotal to your overall wellbeing. If your bowels aren't moving, if you aren't absorbing the proper nutrients, if you're bloated and severely uncomfortable on a daily basis, you are going to feel the consequences mentally and physically. Your gut is central to every other system in the body and linked back to countless conditions. I want to help you heal, but without deterring you from living your life happily.
Digestion
Stress/Anxiety
Have you been told that your illness is due to stress? That if you just "relaxed more" that everything would be better. Or maybe you think you aren't an anxious person but push your body everyday through work, deadlines, housework, kids, and then run on minimal sleep, tired but wired.
Your brain and adrenals produce hormones and neurotransmitters that evoke these responses inside of you. When out of balance or in overdrive; illness, disease, fatigue, burnout, etc. hit hard and is difficult to know what the next step is. I'm here to help educate and guide you into health.
Fatigue/Burnout
If ever there was a topic that most people can relate to it is this. Whether it's fatigue with work, school, family, loved ones, or everything in between (maybe decision fatigue?), I want to support you. If you've ever been told that "everyone has this" which means it's "normal" I want you to know that no matter what the problem is, if it's affecting you and causing you to live a life that is less than 100%, it's worth working on.
Whether this is for your PMS symptoms that keep you from your work, or the acne that keeps coming on well into adulthood. Maybe your doctor told you your thyroid hormones were too low and the only option was medication. Maybe you have PCOS or endometriosis and don't know how to best manage it. Hormones can play such a large roll in our mental and physical health. Any of these hormone imbalances in your body can make it difficult to lose body fat, cause fatigue, depression, anxiety, etc. along with the symptoms you're already getting in the area of concern. I want to work with you and get you to a place of comfort and to thrive in your life and health journey, and best of all is educate you in all things hormones.
Women's Hormones
Your skin and liver are some of your biggest detoxifying organs in the body. With improper diet, genetic predisposition and years of environmental toxins, these organs can get sluggish. This can present with acne, excessive body odour, fatty liver, constipation etc. Let's help clear those detoxifying pathways and get these organs to optimal health.
Liver/Skin Detoxification
Weight loss/Metabolic Reset
I think weight loss is a byproduct of the many amazing changes we can do together that bring your body back into balance. Working on hormone imbalances, diabetes, high cholesterol/BP, PCOS, etc. can help to alleviate the stress on our bodies and allow the healthy habits to make great changes. I'm here to help with every step of the processes because one of the hardest parts is figuring out where to start.
