Handling the constant changes

You've just gotten used to one phase, and you know how to deal with it, then the next phase starts: puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, menopause. Added to that are the effects of medications we use, such as the pill or an IUD. (which can be, of course, necessary to take)

Understanding alleviates

In my experience, understanding your body is a great first step. As a woman you have the potential to be very much in tune with your body: how your environment, lifestyle, toxic exposures, sleep and stress levels can affect your hormones, which in turn affect your mood, your energy, and your physical symptoms. So you are likely to notice the benefits of a mind-body medicine like homeopathy plus the support of nutritional supplements.

I will listen…

I will listen to your concerns:

• Would you like to understand how your cycle works and how to support your body in the different phases?
• Do you have painful periods? Do you get hormonal symptoms like migraines, acne, tender breasts?
• Do you want to prepare for a healthy pregnancy?
• Are you wondering why you keep getting bladder infections?
• Did you get your umpteenth course of Canesten at the drugstore?
• Is the result of your Pap test 'HPV positive', and you have to wait for six months, but you want to do something about it in the meantime?
• Are you looking for solutions for fluctuating and unpredictable energy levels?
• Are you always hungry, or get faint or irritable if you don't eat every few hours?
• Have you been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) or endometriosis?
• Are you in your late 40s and want to do everything you can to sail through menopause as smoothly as possible?
• Do you have a cupboard full of supplements and a head full of good intentions but don't know where to start?
• Do you want to go vegan and wonder if you should take extra supplements?

Then we will find solutions…

I am happy to help you with all these questions, through:

• validating your experience (it's not "all in your head")
• explanations and information
• nutritional advice
• supplements
• a homeopathic remedy, if you like

I know the common treatments of these complaints, and will first find out what has and has not helped in that area. If further research is needed, or if a conventional treatment is the first option, I will advise you to discuss this with your regular doctor.
