How To Find Your Flow In Perimenopause
The perimenopause is between 2-12 years before the phase of menopause. You are considered to be in menopause one whole year after your last period. That is a lot of years. A lot of months. A lot of weeks. A lot of days and hours to be out of balance and struggle with various symptoms that affect your mind, your body, your mental health, your work, your family and friends and your life.

How to reset the environment in your body to rebalance and heal.
In Naturopathy, we believe that the terrain in our body, or the environment of the body, plays a key role in health and disease. Our aim is to create a terrain in the body that allows nutrients to freely pass around the body and get to all the cells that it needs to go, an environment that will allow plenty of good bacteria, which can be our defence against pathogens, and a body that efficiently clears toxicity to keep that environment a healthy space to be.

15 tips for a naturally healthy summer
Whether you are going to get away-away, or you are going to have a stay-cation, then these tips may help you to get through the summer naturally and with ease.
Early summer: Naturopathic Seasonal Support for The Fire Element
We come into the Fire Element on the 21st June.
After the year we have had, our Fire Element may be really depleted having had a lack of social connections during lockdowns. We may be craving to be around friends and family to get the connection, to have human touch, to laugh, comfort and support those we care about. But we may also find, as restrictions are easing up, that we feel overwhelmed by too many people, feel the need to retreat back to those quieter, more isolating times. Finding the balance in this is essential. We need to nurture and nourish our Fire but not deplete it, if it is already lacking.
Spring: Naturopathic Seasonal Support for The Wood Element
Are you struggling with recent symptoms such as migraines, sinus issues, eye pain, liver problems, painful or heavy periods, skin rashes or acne, muscle cramps or pains in your joints?
This could be a seasonal imbalance that the body needs some support and strength to ease any discomfort. Learn how supporting your Wood element can help to build vitality and energy for spring.
Winter: Naturopathic Seasonal Support for The Water Element
We came into the Water Element on the 21st December and stay with it until the 21st March when we come into the Wood Element. During this winter season we can work on nurturing our own Water Element which will not only support our health but also support our mind and mood too.
