Naturopath for PCOS, online across Australia

Where we start with PCOS

Your first consult is 60 minutes by Zoom, and we'll talk through:

• Your cycle: how long it is, how regular it is and how it's changed over time
• Your skin, including breakouts and any changes in hair growth
• Your energy, cravings and how you feel after meals
• What you eat and drink in a typical week
• Your digestion and gut comfort
• Stress, sleep and how you're feeling
• Any medication, including the pill, and what you've tried so far

I'm not your everyday naturopath, so expect plenty of questions, since the detail is where your plan comes from.

When you're ready, you can book your first consult online.

Making sense of your results

If you've had blood tests or a scan through your GP, bring the reports along, since they're a great place to start.

I'll go through them with you and see how they fit with your story.

Testing beyond that is optional.

Where your history points to it, I may suggest functional pathology (blood tests) or the DUTCH hormone test, an at-home test I can arrange and talk you through.

Your results consult is 45 minutes, so there's time to go through everything and plan the next steps together.

PCOS and your skin

For some women, PCOS shows up as breakouts that follow the cycle.

Because I look at skin and hormones together, we can work on both in the same plan, and my page on acne explains how I look at breakouts.

I also hold a Certificate in Corneotherapy, so we can go through your skincare routine and keep it kind to your skin's protective outer layer.

On the pill, coming off it, or preparing for pregnancy

Your plan fits where you are right now.

If you're on the pill, keep taking it as directed, and I'll build your plan around it.

If you're thinking about coming off it, we can talk through what to look out for in your cycle, and plan the timing with your GP.

If you're preparing for pregnancy, my fertility page explains how I support that stage.

Your PCOS plan, and how we review it

Your plan is built around you, and it may include:

• Meals built around your tastes, with steady energy across the day in mind
• Movement that suits your body and your week
• Support for your gut, where digestion is part of the picture
• Ideas for stress and sleep that fit your routine
• Where it suits you, natural medicines, explained clearly

Every body responds in its own way, so your plan is reviewed at 30-minute follow-ups and fine-tuned as we go.
