When Your Hormones Feel Out of Balance

Hormonal symptoms can be exhausting, frustrating and disruptive — especially when you’ve been told everything is “normal” or your tests look “fine.” Many women I meet are dealing with significant symptoms, yet feel unheard or dismissed.

Common symptoms of hormonal imbalance include:

  • Heavy periods that soak through pads or require frequent changes

  • Large blood clots, flooding or long cycles

  • Intense period pain (cramping, stabbing, radiating pain)

  • PMS or PMDD

  • Mood swings, low mood, irritability or feeling “not yourself”

  • Anxiety that worsens before your period or around ovulation

  • Sleep problems, night sweats or restless nights

  • Bloating, nausea or digestive changes throughout your cycle

  • Weight gain or difficulty losing weight despite no major changes

  • Mid-cycle pain, spotting or irregular ovulation

  • Breast tenderness, headaches or migraines

  • Fatigue or feeling drained for days before or after your period

These symptoms are common, but not normal — and they are absolutely worth investigating.

Your Symptoms Deserve Proper Attention

Hormonal imbalance is rarely caused by just one thing.


It’s often a combination of:

  • brain–ovary hormone signalling issues

  • stress on the nervous system (HPA axis shifts)

  • inflammation

  • nutrient deficiencies

  • gut dysfunction

  • thyroid involvement

  • chronic pain conditions

  • perimenopause transitions

  • PCOS or endometriosis

  • contraceptive history (“post-pill” symptoms)

My role is to uncover the underlying drivers so your treatment is targeted, not guesswork.

My Approach to Hormone Support

Personalised & Achievable

No two women experience hormonal imbalance the same way. Your treatment plan is tailored to your symptoms, preferences and lifestyle, without restrictive diets or overwhelming protocols.

Education that Empowers You

Understanding your cycle gives you clarity, body literacy and confidence. It also helps you troubleshoot issues yourself later on so you’re not dependent on constant appointments.

Collaboration with Your Medical Team

If you’re taking medications for PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid issues or mood symptoms, that’s absolutely fine. Naturopathy works safely alongside medical treatment.

Addressing the 'Why'

Heavy periods, pain, clots and bloating are signals.

 

We work together to understand what your body is trying to communicate.

Supplements Used Thoughtfully

Supplements & herbs are tools that can be incredibly effective when targeted, but I only use them when necessary, and always in alignment with your preferences.

Functional Testing when Helpful

Testing (such as hormone metabolites or microbiome analysis) may be recommended for complex or persistent symptoms, but it is always optional.
