Hormonal Health
Why your perimenopause symptoms started a decade earlier than your mother's
The picture of perimenopause has shifted, and most women in their late 30s have no idea what they're actually looking at.
You bloat after every meal, and you're waking at 3am with your heart pounding for no reason you can name. Your cycle has turned into something you don't recognise anymore. The scale won't budge whatever you try. Your bloods came back normal, so you've been told there's nothing wrong. Something clearly is, and that's the gap I work in.
"She carefully listened to my concerns and provided a tailored solution that I follow to this day. I truly feel she helped me reset and return to my usual self."
This work is for the woman whose body keeps telling her something is off, and who keeps being told everything looks fine. If you recognise yourself below, we should talk.
PMS is taking a whole week from you now, not just a day or two. Your cycle keeps changing on you and no one can explain why. Or you're getting perimenopause symptoms in your late 30s, and every doctor you've asked has said that doesn't happen for another decade.
By 6pm you look six months pregnant. Foods you've eaten your whole life without a problem now leave you doubled over. Maybe you've been carrying an IBS diagnosis for a decade and nothing has actually changed.
You're eating less than everyone around you and moving more, and the scale still won't move. Your metabolism feels like it broke somewhere along the way. The generic advice everyone keeps handing you stopped working a long time ago, if it ever did.
Your baby is here and your body feels like someone else's. Or you're trying to conceive, every test says you're fine, but months keep passing and nothing is happening.
You wake up already tired. Coffee doesn't really touch it anymore, and by mid-afternoon you're wiped out. Everyone keeps telling you it's stress, or your age, or just being a mother. But you know it's more than that.
You've done the meal plans. You've done the generic supplement lists from people who never actually asked you a proper question. What you want now is someone who sees the whole picture, not just a symptom to file away.
No two women I see come in with the same body, the same history, or the same set of concerns. So no two plans look the same either. Here's how the work runs in practice.
A proper look at your history, your symptoms, your bloods, and everything you've already tried. Nothing gets waved away as unimportant. The details other practitioners skim past are often where the answer lives.
Your gut, your hormones, your stress response, your blood sugar and your inflammation are all talking to each other, whether we can see it or not. We work out where the picture started to unravel, and where the knock-on effects are showing up now.
Food does the heavy lifting. Supplements come in only where they earn their place. The plan gets built around your actual week, not the tidy one on paper, and we adjust as your body starts responding.
What I loved most was how holistic her support was, it wasn't just about food. She gave me practical guidance on nutrition, supplements, and daily habits, so it felt like a full 360 approach rather than a quick fix with a diet. Everything was explained clearly and tailored to me, which made it easy to actually stick to. I just felt more balanced overall.
This is nutritional therapy at a practitioner level. That means a root cause approach to your specific case, not a meal plan or generic advice. I work with your full health picture, supplements and testing only where appropriate, and I refer back to your medical team when needed.
Yes. The majority of my consultations are online and I work with women across Europe and further afield. The process is identical to in-person work, with secure video calls and full client portal access.
It helps but it is not essential. If you have recent results, bring them. If you don't, we will discuss what testing is worth doing based on your symptoms. I do not order unnecessary tests.
Most women feel a meaningful shift within 4 to 8 weeks, though deeper hormonal and gut work can take 3 to 6 months. I will be honest with you about realistic timelines for your specific case during our discovery call.
15 minutes, free. We talk about what is going on, what you have already tried, and whether we are a fit. There is no pressure to book anything afterwards. The call is for you to get clarity, not for me to sell you something.
Book a free 15-minute discovery call. We talk through what's going on, where to start, and whether working together feels right. It's a proper conversation, not a sales call.
Book Your Free Discovery CallNo two women walk into my consultation room with the same body, the same history, or the same goals. So no two plans look the same. Here is what working together actually involves.
A good starting point if you have one main concern you want to sort, or you want a proper foundation to build on. Three months is enough to actually see things shift without it feeling like a huge commitment. You get a real plan, real support, and the space to ask the questions you've been sitting on.
For the woman who has been dealing with this for years. Multiple things going on, layered symptoms, a long history of "everything looks normal on paper." Ten sessions across six months gives us enough time to unpick what is actually driving the picture and to change it properly, not just soften it for a few weeks.
Sometimes you don't need a whole programme. You need someone to actually look at one specific thing with you, or you want to see what working together is like before committing further. €180 for a 90-minute initial. €135 for a 60-minute follow-up. You'll leave with written notes and clear next steps.

Book Your Free Discovery CallI'm a nutritional therapist specialising in women's hormonal, gut, and metabolic health. My practice is built on one philosophy: your symptoms are not random, your body is not broken, and the right plan starts with actually being heard.
I'm a Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist based in Malta, working with women across Europe and beyond. My specialism is hormonal, gut, and metabolic health, the systems women are told to manage rather than understand.
But that's the practitioner version. Here is the real one.
Talking about nutrition is easy for me. Talking about the story behind it is something else entirely. But context matters. The "why" behind this work matters.
Everything about how I work is shaped by both sides of that: the science I trained in, and the years of trying to understand my own body. It's why I set up the practice the way I did, and why the women who come to me get properly heard, often for the first time.

The discovery call is free and there's genuinely no pressure to book. Even if we're not the right fit, you'll leave with a clearer sense of what might actually be going on, and where to look next.
Book Your Free Discovery CallArticles I write for the women I work with, on the questions that come up over and over in consultations. Grounded in the science, not the wellness recycling machine. Written by someone who actually sees clients, not by a marketing team.
The picture of perimenopause has shifted, and most women in their late 30s have no idea what they're actually looking at.
Oestrogen dominance is not always about high oestrogen. Here is what is actually happening, and where the balance tips.
The pattern of when you bloat matters as much as the fact that you bloat. Here's how to start reading it properly.
The first meal of the day sets the metabolic rhythm of the next 12 hours. Most women are getting it wrong in the same way.
For most women with PCOS, insulin is the underlying driver. Fix the blood sugar picture and cycles, skin, mood and fat loss all start to shift.
The second half of your cycle is actually three distinct hormonal windows. Knowing which one you are in changes everything.
You have heard all the sleep advice. Most of it misses the biggest levers. Here is what does move the needle.
Articles can give you context. They can't give you a plan that fits your specific body. If you've been reading and Googling for years and still feel stuck, it might be time to talk to someone.
